Gut Instincts regarding social media interactions

Hi everyone,

I’ve been feeling anxious lately and need some advice. I’m in a relationship, and recently, I’ve noticed some behavior on social media that makes me uneasy. My partner and I have been together for a while, but there’s a guy who seems to be very active on her social media. He likes all her photos, and she likes all of his posts. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but it started bothering me more.

They don’t seem to interact anywhere else—there are no conversations in the comments or messages, just these constant "likes." It feels like it’s almost every post from both sides, and while I know people can be friendly on social media, something about it doesn’t sit right with me.

I’ve brought it up with my partner, and they’ve brushed it off, saying it’s no big deal and just part of social media, that it doesn’t mean anything. But I can’t help but feel like something more might be going on. I wonder if I’m overthinking things or if my gut instincts tell me there’s more here than I’m seeing. They do meet up often.

I’ve heard stories where something that seems harmless on the surface can be a sign of deeper issues, and I don’t want to ignore my intuition just because it feels uncomfortable to confront. I’ve always trusted my gut before, and it’s telling me I should be paying more attention to this.

What do you all think? Should I worry about this, or am I letting my insecurities get the best of me?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I have a male friend who likes or comments on absolutely everything I post. It is not reciprocated all the time I mean I 'like' the odd post of his. I dont know if my partner would have an issue with it or not, had not entered my head and me and he are not friends on sm anyway. How do they know each other?
