Guys, would you feel some type of way if your girlfriend posted a place you two visited on facebook but left out the pictures you two took together?

For instance, you and your Girlfriend went to a botanical garden and posted pictures of herself and pictures of the scenery, but didn’t post the pictures you two took with each other (basically making it look as though she went alone). Would you feel a way about that not care?

I would probably have the same question in this situation; as I have reading about it. Why would she do that?

So I guess I would feel like something was weird about that. I mean... we took pictures together, there is no good reason to omit them. Why would she deliberately choose to not post the pictures with us/me. That seems weird enough to make one suspicious. Suspicious of what? I have no idea. But it's really a weird thing to do.

I am curious myself. Obviously you don't owe me anything.

But why in the world did you do this? I cannot think of a valid reason any girlfriend would do this. But its entirely possible I'm just not thinking of some perfectly valid reason. May I ask... why this girlfriend made that... odd choice? (just curiosity).

So I did that because he mentioned that he prefers not posting pictures of us until we are married because he doesn’t want people in his business (understandably so because his brother is a NFL player and he has had issues with woman in the past using him to get to his brother) and we have no trust issues between us. He has made it clear that I can post us anytime. But I chose not to because in my mind if he won’t post us, neither will I. What made me ask the question is because usually he will like my Facebook posts but this time he didn’t, and it makes me wonder if he felt some type of way because I omitted the pictures of us but posted the others. Sure I could ask him, but I don’t think he would admit to feeling a type of way about it.

See... I KNEW there must be some valid reason. And there is!

This makes perfect sense. Perfect sense. But you're making this way harder on yourself than it needs to be.

You chose not to post pictures including him... because you know he doesn't want you two posted before you marry.

You don't need to ask him about why he didn't like the pictures or if he's feeling some kinda way about it.

You simply mention (in passing if you want) that you didn't post the pics of him because you know how he feels about posting on social media. DONE

So if he had any worries, suddenly it makes sense. And you don't have to wonder if he is thinking this or that.

This just needs a quick. "just so you know..." and it's put-to-bed!

I was curious. I'm glad you replied.

I’ll try to say something “in passing” when the opportunity presents itself. I can’t help but to be naturally curious as to why he didn’t like the post.

[SteveSmith1985]

The easy solution to that, is to ask him when you mention why you didn't post the pics. It seems like a silly thing to have to wonder about, when you can just ask him.

It would be the ones of ME taking them for her on her phone. I don't need to be in them but would be a bit weirded out if she didn't invite me into some. Posting it online is just ego attention seeking. Something that needs to become less important in people's lives

Honestly I probably wouldn't notice. You're calling attention to it. Yeah I might feel some way about it then. But I probably wouldn't even make that connection otherwise.

I’d be annoyed if a girl did that all the time.
