Should I be mad or I am overthinking?

Hi,long story short I saw my partner following some electrician girl on fb. She has a bit of a following but nothing much , she post everything about that stuff and occasional selfie , but she is in a lot of pics from behind and stuff , I would say slightly to get attention, a lot of men obv comment on her pics not just about what she posts but anyways , I saw my partner has liked many of her pics including her selfies ,and in gym, which has nothing to do with electricity stuff , and he has commented on a few too. I got a bit upset because I think it's unnecessary to do that , and it gave me a big ick. Surely he finds her attractive hence he has liked pictures because I don't see him commenting on any sparky guys pages he follows.. he thinks I am overreacting , but it made me feel so icky . Do you think I am overreacting?

I'm old, and can't imagine being with a bloke who followed anyone and 'liked' their stuff. It just sounds really teenage behaviour, so would put me right off.

He probably doesn’t mean anything by it, but it’s given you the ick, and that’s all you need to know.

No I don't think you are over reacting. He is in a relationship with you and yet he is acting like a single guy giving another woman attention.

@Riverlee I wouldn't care if it was just electrical stuff she post but mainly it was her pictures and selfies

I envy the generations who got to enjoy their relationships phone free. Its really fcuked up the future in terms of relationships. It is plain awful to have to watch your partner look at women he wishes he could have. He shpuld be giving YOU that attention. But hey ho. Phones are here to stay.

This wouldn't bother me. The sole purpose of social media is to be sociable. I wouldn't feel threatened by my OH liking other women's posts online.
