my boyfriend is constantly liking his exs pictures on ig, facebook, etc.?

[Briana]

okay so ive been sating this guy for about 8 months now. hes 24 and im 21. basically ive been getting really upset about how he likes alot of his exs pictures on instagram and any form of social media basically. its not just exs either alot of girls are also just people that hes "been with" in the past. hes always trying to tell me i have nothing to worry about but it honestly really bothers me how hes liking things and they are liking his stuff back all the time. should i be concerned about this or am i completely overreacting? also these girls arent really my age theyre more closer to his age which also worries me even more. someone please help before i go insane!
also this is something i bring up to him constantly and hes already broken up with me about this. its just hard to see and it honestly makes me feel like shit pretty much.
and oh trust me i agree that being friends with exes can be okay. but i find it out how the girl will constantly like his pics on ig but if he puts a pic of me or anything that has anything to do with me they wont like it. idk it just seems odd to me.
i guess im constantly looking because it seems to always be going on all the time. sometimes its not even me finding it my friends are the ones telling me what they saw. and social media wouldnt be a problem if he would only let people know hes in a relationship. his ig shows that he is no relationship with anyone he looks pretty much like a bachelor. and for a while i didnt even have an ig because it was causing so many problems and i didnt want to see anymore of his ex lovers or hookups liking his shit and him liking theirs. he also had me blocked for awhile just so i couldnt see anything anymore. but we recently stopped that and started following eachother and its literally happening all over again.

It's okay to be friends with exes. I am; plus, most of my friends are guys.

Look, clearly no one clearly explained the rules of dating to you.

\First is that dating is not marriage. You date to meet new and maybe even different types of people. Its like a sampler buffet. Try everything see what you want more of.
If the guy is a jerk then find a new guy.
this whole, "fidelity in dating, we have to make it work," is simply fear or laziness that you will have to start over with someone new.
THE HORROR.

OR
you either accept how a person is and stay or you realize the person isnt what you want to be with and you move to the next table. People are not required to change who they are for you just because you expect them to.

Also he is clearly still attracted to his ex and it would seem several dozen other women on the internet, so is this really the guy you want to be with? Your reaction is normal but you putting up with it seems silly to me.

Oh one edit: this whole "your age, his age" bit. 24/21, same age group. He is in no way an "older man." Seeing how he is acting like he is 12 he hasnt even matured to his natural age yet.

He's already broken up with you over your constant complaining about this and if you continue, he will do it again.

Right now, it seems that he's doing it because he knows it will push your buttons. He's also showing you that he will not allow you to run his life. This is something he can control and doesn't want you to have a say in it. But, he really doesn't care about you if he knows how much this upsets you, yet he continues to do it.

Another issue here is...why are you constantly looking at all these Facebooks and Instagrams? And you you seriously think an ex of his is going to like a picture he posts that has YOU in it? Hardly.

Other than this issue, how does he treat you in real life? That's what should be the important factor in your relationship. But, just know that if you're going to keep making this social media thing a big problem, you're going to lose him.

If you two have a solid relationship you need to straight up tell him it bothers you and explain why. However, I believe you may be over reacting. I'm best friends with one of my exes and honestly I still have feelings for her that will never go away. Butttt I'm absolutely headoverheels for my current girlfriend and would never do anything to hurt her. But yoi need to talk to your man and most importantly have a little faith. Its just instagram he might just be acting nice. But he is with you not them aand that should mean more than anything.

Your Over Reacting Chill Likeing Pictures Does Not Mean Anything Unless He is Actually Flirting With Ladies in Comments Or Anything Dont Worry About it
