Hes liking/commenting on other womens pictures

I've just seen that my boyfriend has liked another woman's photo and put a comment on it. I won't say what nothing explicit just letting her know he likes her.
He said he wouldn't like other girls pictures anymore but he's added some women on his friends (fb) and liked their picture which shows them in a tight dress. It's making me feel ugly and unwanted by him. I try to dress sexy but we don't go anywhere that I can dress up nice for.
What should I do?

OP, I have to ask: What would happen if you did the same to him? If you started adding men on facebook and started liking and commenting on their sexy pics, how would he respond?

I think that you should do just that, as little experiment.

I think it depends on the people.

I’m early 20s and DP is mid 20s. We’re both on Twitter, IG, Snapchat etc even though I do use social media a lot less now that I’ve had babies. We both follow people we don’t know as that’s kind of the point of social media. I’d like people’s pictures and so would he. We may not know them in real life but rather they’re our ‘mutuals’ on social media.

To me, a like is nothing. But commenting is soooo rude. I think it’s really a step too far. I don’t find any harm in liking someone’s picture especially on IG as that’s literally the point of the app but if I saw DP commented on someone’s picture I’d be fuming. Not too sure how FB works so couldn’t comment on that but if you’re not happy can you talk to him about it? Just ask him what’s so great about these pictures that he needs to like and/or comment. It’s unnecessary and you find it disrespectful. If he brushes it off or dismisses you then I think you’ll find you have your answer

Thanks for all your replies. I told him I saw what he put and he got defensive saying I am checking up on him. But I said it's public and it made me feel shitty. We both went in a mood and then a while later he cheered up, said stop being moody over silly things I wouldn't cheat. And then went to pub

Liking other womens photos whether strangers or not, is grim in my view. Slimy in fact. It's the modern day equivalent to whistling at women in the street. It's unsolicited attention and if my husband ever did it, he would be divorced.

Pervs aren't great boyf material.

It's unsolicited attention

It’s not really unsolicited attention when you literally post on social media… for likes
