Snapchat

[Pinkflowerpetals]

I have been with my boyfriend for around a year now, and recently he keeps receiving snaps from girls, everytime I see it light up its a different girls name, I ask him and he says I know alot of people so... and thats it... or some are friends, I have expressed that Im not okay with it, now my faith has gone altogether because im worried what hes actually sending them when im not around and if they keep messaging, surely hes behaving in a manor that they think they can, I just feel sick and not sure what to do, am i over reacting? my gut says otherwise.

Some people just send snaps to everyone in their contact list/most recents. Generally the photos are meaningless

I don't know anyone over the age of 15 who uses snapchat . Ick inducing tbh.

Generally adult men don't use it as a way to keep in contact with friends. That's not to say he doesn't but also he could be using it to flirt with women. If he's doing this in front of you, is he saying who they are? Including you? Really if comes down to if you trust him.

Yeah the fact he even uses Snapchat would put me off

Just echoing what others have said. Any adult man using snapchat is a red flag for me.

As a man, I do not have snapchat (I only know one man that does). I always thought it was something used by teenagers and those in their early 20s. Those days passed me by a very long time ago!

Snapchat was one of my wife's apps of choice for cheating. Like Kik, it has the benefit that messages sent and received are deleted each time a user exits the app. So if you send someone a pic, they can't keep it forever; very useful if you're sending dick pics.

It doesn’t even matter if anyone else thinks you are overreacting. The important thing is that it makes you unhappy, you have told him it makes you unhappy and he keeps doing it.

Snapchat is no good in relationships. You can have 1000s of accounts, as I found out in my prior relationship and your partner would never know. My ex used it to cheat for 5 years.

I’ve got nothing against Snapchat, both my husband and I have it so it would be a bit hypocritical if I did, but the fact it’s loads of different women he’s communicating with would raise red flags. His excuse, ‘I know lots of people’, is weak too. That would be my feeling whether it was Snapchat or any other form of private communications on social media really.
