Question

My boyfriend liked the photo of his friend posing naked, so I broke up, did I do it right?

When you say naked, do you mean bikini or fully naked? Because I’m not sure Instagram allows fully nude photos lol. I don’t care what anyone says here , if my boyfriend is on Instagram liking fully nude photos of women, I am done with him. If it’s a bikini pic? Depends on the photo. There’s a difference between someone posting a pic showing off their skimpy bikini and posing at the beach with her friends.

When you like other women’s provocative photos, you’re showing others that despite being in a relationship, you still have a wandering eye , whether you plan to take that further or not.

Men don’t understand how hurtful these small actions can be and if it bothers you and is a deal breaker for you, do what YOU think is right.

I had to skim the responses to find more information.

Thus far, you stated that a friend posted a racy, none nude, photo on IG and it made you jealous that he liked it.

By itself it can be a valid reason to be jealous and feel upset. However I think how you handled it was wrong.

I would rather talk first and ask questions. Who is she to him? Why did he like the photo? Then express my feelings on the matter. If the conversation is to my satisfaction and my feelings validated, then we move on. If not, then the door is right over there.

You must have had other reasons for breaking up. Liking a single photo is no reason to end a relationship.

I'm guessing you used that as the tipping point in your relationship, that there were other issues.

If you think it is a valid reason to break up, you are not required to get his approval. Why is his female friend sending him naked pictures?

Jessica405 · Answer

I think you were too quick to end it. I doubt there are many guys who would not like a photo like that.

Jealousy can make people do terrible things, but If you think you were right to break up, then you were right. The thing is, once the dust settles will you think you were right?

Med_guy1978 · Answer

Jealousy is a state of mind, if you get beyond this and you find a partner of similar characteristics you both become very accommodating to each other, very understanding and very forgiving. It's a state of mind many and most do not and will never understand. It only works if you are both on the same frequency.

HelpfulWoman · Answer

i'd agree. who needs a partner who has friends who post themselves naked?

Pterodon · Answer

He’s a man and saw a naked woman. OF COURSE HE LIKED IT!

SixFootSexy · Answer

Sounds like you needed to communicate calmly about your jealousy giving him a chance to change, instead of blowing things up off of one infraction. Wild idea.

Yes, you did the right thing.

jahaims · Answer

You set a boundary and he broke it. That is disrespectful. You should make sure you have the same morals and values before you get into a relationship

You Must Be Insecure About The Human Naked Body… Looking At Someone Naked Is Not Sexual And Not Cheating… My Wife Will Tell You This, And Every Woman I Ever Dated… Nudity Is Normal And Natural, Nothing Wrong With Being Naked, Seeing Others Naked… You Absolutely Did Him Wrong

Over reacting. It's really harmless. It's not even flirting. It's just an acknowledgement of her looking good.

Wise4myage · Answer

Unless you have proof of him sexting her, than in my opinion, you overreacted.
