45 year old DH liking 24 year old girl Instagram pictures

The title says it all really, me and DH don’t really use Instagram a lot ‘well that’s what I thought’ I was scrolling through his followings last night when I came across a pretty young girl, so out of curiosity I had a look at her profile and pretty much all of her pictures DH has liked them? I thought it was just a random following at first until I found out this girl works at DH workplace ‘A work ID badge around her neck” gave it away, I looked at her followings and she is following DH and has also liked a few of his pictures. Should I be concerned or am I overacting? Him being 45 and liking a 24 year olds picture has made me feel a little bit sick. I can’t do any further digging as I don’t have access to any of his socials. I should add that most of her pictures are quite revealing. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I know it’s ridiculous but I’m writing this at 4:05 as I can’t sleep, it’s been on my mind ever sinceConfused

Can people stop referring to her as a girl or - worse 'young girl'. She is a grown woman. Would you call a 24 year old man a young boy?

It would be a whole other problem if your DH was looking at photos of young girls.

That aside, I think context is everything here. If your DH regularly liked photos from various work colleagues, male and female, I'd say think nothing of it. Her age isn't relevant. She's just one of many work colleagues he's in contact with on SM.

But if she's the only one, or if he only follows his attractive female colleagues, then he's acting inappropriately, and without respect for you or your marriage.

His response is worrying. Surely a loving husband would want to reassure you and stop you worrying. Laughing at you means either he doesn't care and is trampling over your feelings, or the idea is so preposterous to him that he finds your concerns ridiculous. (But clearly if he cared he'd still want to reassure you).
