Been with my fiance almost 6 years and engaged for 1.5yrs. We are great together, I don't think either of us would complain about our relationship. However, there are 2 similar instances that bother me and I'd like other's take on them.

  1. Like many couples, we share updates of our lives on social media. When she shares anything that includes me, one "friend" never interacts. She says because he's loyal to her ex-husband. However, he interacts and comments whenever she shares a pic of just her. And they communicate via messenger or texts. I realize it's social media and I'm being a little jealous, but this doesn't seem right to me. A "friend" of hers would comment/interact regardless.
  2. Another "friend" acts the same - no comments or interactions if I'm involved. But is always there when it's just her. He goes one step further and has messaged her telling her how hot she looked in her pics and would be in big trouble if HIS fiance knew he was saying these things. My fiance said that I shouldn't worry, he's harmless. To me, that's not the point. It has gone too far.

So, am I overreacting in these instances, or are these things a little disrespectful to our relationship?

Yes, you’re overreacting. You sound almost jealous. Your partner can’t control how her friends use social media.

And she’s allowed to have friends, by the way.
