Sudden/remembering the screaming

My partner started off in our relationship determined to be friends with their ex. Lots of terrible behaviour over a period of years and finally agreed, enough is enough. My choice to accept this, but older and wiser I'd never do it again. However, all been good since.
10 years of peace, lovely since.

Problem is, we met with old friends this week. Lovely catch up. I asked my OH to simply not add photos of our to FB , and as they all have mutual friends with my OH ex, id asked them to have a word to ensure my privacy is respected. The ex is very difficult and I don't want them to rear their head.

This was a few weeks ago, my OH claims to hate confrontation, and would rather bury their head in the sand,

I assumed they hadn't said anything re keeping my privacy. So I was stressed.
Night out came and went. Photos on Facebook. Issue is, I didn't know if my photos were visible to others including horrible ex. I just need to maintain privacy due to their behaviour, that's all.
I raised it tonight and OH, true to form, they screamed at me to shut up. Feels like 10 years ago.

To add, my OH had actually spoken to the friends, asking them to be discreet. But hadn't told me, so I was stressed and had bad sleep for nothing. Had they just told me they'd handled it, I'd have been able to have a great night.

Fuxking hell OP. The photos/ex/privacy are a red herring here. Your partner should not be screaming at you for asking a perfectly reasonable question. You must know this isn't ok.

Thank you, I do know but I have gone back 10 years and nobody to chat to. Really appreciate your reply.

Has the ex done anything since the photos were added?
I don't understand why your OH screamed at you, why would they be annoyed by that?
