social media - am i overeacting?

[Kobe]

Okay, so my Gf's ex has been trying to contact her even after knowing that she has a new bf (which i find completely disrespectful), he's called her countless times, left her countless msgs, and she has always maintained that she wants nothing to do with him. I've always said that i have no issues with her maintaining relationships with her exs as long as shes upfront about it.

This guy is obviously still into her, she's told me that she has deleted him from all forms of social media, but today i noticed on my instagram news feed that she had "liked" one of his photos.

The issue isnn't the "like" itself but more so that she had maintained all along that she wanted this guy out of her life, yet her actions contradict what she had said, just felt like a mini kick in the guts after i found out, he still tried msging her telling her how much he wants her back after knowing i was now in the picture.

I confronted her and she said she was sorry and that she only liked it because she knew one of the girls in the photo and thought nothing more of it.

I can't help but feel like I have my guards slightly up again , and my trust for her has decreased a bit.

Do you guys think im overacting?

not at all if my boyfriend liked any girls photo ex or not its a kick in the gut im sorry that that had happened but i dont understand how she would have liked one of his photos on instagram if she deleted him from all the social media sites like she claimed?

Yes I think it's a little too much from one 'like' but she said she got rid of him which means she lied so you have the right to be upset. I think the thing here is that this guy is becoming a bit of a distraction and it's making you fear that you might lose your girlfriend to him. If you trust her in this relationship respect the things she does, let her have a bit of freedom. Show her why you are better and worthy of being a boyfriend and that this piece of crap doesn't stand a chance. I'm not trying to bash you here because you clearly have done nothing wrong, I just don't want you to fall into this guy's trap making you pissed about it. Wish you the best

No your feelings were hurt, but try and let it go now or you will start freaking her out. She's with you and obviously wants to be
