Another Instagram one! F*cking men!

Noticed on my husbands Instagram that he follows quite a few women who we have no mutual friends with.
His Instagram messages were open and he’d messaged one to tell her she was ‘looking good’. I’ve flipped.
Am I overreacting???

No you aren't!!!

Following them is icky. Commenting that someone is looking good is just wrong. Would he be OK if you were doing the same to other men?

Don't let him convince you that you're over reacting / jealous / insecure or the other things that get thrown around in (weak) defence. What he's doing is disrespectful to you, and shows he's actively looking at other women, and happy to tell them that he likes them.

Is he cool with you contacting men your attracted to on social media to give them similar messages
I pretty sure he wouldn’t be

No you aren’t, it’s inappropriate and what was he hoping his message would achieve?

ElectraBlue · 23/01/2022 13:27

Very disrespectful. The fact that he is actively commenting means he is hoping to get a response from these women.

Is he twelve years old?

Ergh what an AH. Seriously what is it with some blokes. Its pathetic really its like they are testing to see if they've still got 'it'.. And not to mention being cringy and disrespectful to you. I dont care if I'm not a 'cool wife' I would be fuming.

CaMePlaitPas · 23/01/2022 19:51

No I'd be pissed off.

Giraffesandbottoms · 23/01/2022 19:57

Have you asked him
About it?

user1958493 · 23/01/2022 19:59

Can't bare it. Men are wankers. Literally

Ladybugzrock · 23/01/2022 20:02

It’s gross, he’s crossing a boundary.

MrsTumbletap · 23/01/2022 20:06

@AllInMyHead79 they don't all do this. Please don't let him make you think men are all out there being creepy on Instagram.

He is just being creepy, hopeful and trying to start something with these women. Give him hell.
