He deleted pictures of us

Hi in a relationship for 5 months and we went out to a lovely charity ball last weekend. I asked him to take a selfie (as I look weird when I take them) and he said "oh what??"
I said of us and then he just sat there. So I asked again and it felt like I forced him.

I then had someone take sone full length ones on my phone.

Yesterday I asked him to forward the selfie as I'm making a montage of photos for a present and he ignored me but answered other things. I asked again a couple more times throughout the day and was ignored.
When I then questioned why, he said he couldn't find it... clearly he'd deleted it. I asked but he said "no, I havent" I asked what other explanation there could be and he said "it must be a technical glitch"

Hes making me feel like I'm crazy fir asking but its pretty clear he permanently deleted it and can't restore it, right?!

As a side note, I sent him copies of the full length ones if us in tuxedo and evening dress and he didn't even comment, not a emoji or a "that's nice"

Just wanted outsiders points of view.

Hes checked out right?

You're making montages of you both as a present and he is deleting your photos. You both are thinking two different things about this relationship.

He is seeing other people or intends to at the first chance. That's the only reason he wouldn't want photos of you together on social media (assuming he doesnt already have a wife that is). The second someone gives you some shit about not wanting you on their social media- leave, they are taking you for a mug.

You've been dating him 5 months and he won't even take a picture with you. He's a player.
And he's managing down your expectations. Making you feel you don't have the right to want pictures of you together with someone who is meant to be your partner.

He's a shit. Get rid.

My money's on him not being single, hence doesn't want photos of you together

Sorry, but the obvious answer is often the correct one

Occam's razor never fails to cut through the crap.

@thewayround I don't think it's high maintenance to have communication and input into conversations, things regarding us and the relationship.

That isn’t high maintenance.

What is high maintenance is having a problem with this and making a montage of photos of the two of you after 5 months and presuming you’re not 14 year old

As a side note, I sent him copies of the full length ones if us in tuxedo and evening dress and he didn't even comment, not a emoji or a "that's nice"

I would be surprised if he isn’t single. He’s not exactly tried to hide the OP by taking her to a charity ball!

I just think he isn’t that bothered about the relationship and didn’t want to use up his storage on a relationship which he doesn’t see lasting long

Geppili · 15/12/2022 22:55

He sounds married.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Yet another thing happened last night which is a whole other story but resulted in me ending it. Wish it was easy!!

Thanks again

Hope you're okay OP. Sounds like the right call
