He is interacting with other women on IG, is it normal?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend wrote 'omg' on another girl's story where she shared herself. He also liked her story yesterday. Is this normal? And she's not even his friend, they don't have a close friendship. And we have been dating recently.

[ohsheeT]

Well it might be kinda normal. But not

Imean When you're dating somebody and you want to be with that person. You don't go looking someplace else

I gotta look at it as if I was dating someone and if I was to do that. Then I'm not really respecting the girl I'm dating and for me it would be wrong

[PeachyPie93]

Not normal lol
Only super horny promiscuous guys do pathetic things like that. Especially in the beginning that is the time they should be enamoured by you and super interested in getting to know you, if he is giving others attention already he is a promiscuous loser and you should drop him quick since he isn't the one.

It’s definitely normal for a man who still has a wandering eye. An undercover f-boy would do exactly this, not a man who’d never want me to feel hurt or disrespected (like my fiancé).

[Stevepro68]

Yes I do that all the time and not it's not flirting. Hope that helps

[MrChinaski]

Does it matter? Genuine question. Either you trust the guy and it doesn't matter, or you don't trust the guy and should leave the relationship. Both are viable options.

Does the ig girl look better than you do?

[Asker]

it does not make any difference, but she is cute. I don't know better than me

[BarryLiverstone]

It may make a diff if the ig girl was not attractive. If she’s cute then he’s reacting because he likes her appearance

[BarryLiverstone]

As a guy he may have even felt turned on seeing her story. You could ask him to confirm

[Asker]

should i be worried? like does it count as cheating? i dont like this behavior of him but dont know whether i am overthinking or not.

[BarryLiverstone]

No reason to be worried if you talk to him and he’s not deceptive about it. But you are his girlfriend right?

[Asker]

yes, we started recently so, i feel like if he does it now, he is not serious about me. For me, it is a red flag.

[BarryLiverstone]

If that’s crossing your boundaries then it’s worth letting him know. That while he has eyes and can admire beautiful things like flowers and landscapes; that you are his girlfriend and he should be respectfully not leaving comments on her story. That others would see his behavior and question why your boyfriend acts like that.

Tbh he may not even be aware he’s crossing your boundary. But you are ok with him seeing beauty with his eyes right?

[Asker]

yeah sure he can see beauty. But, i believe we need to put boundaries on our social media as well once we r in ralationship. social media is way of communicating, not just social media any more.

[BarryLiverstone]

What boundaries would you want on sm?

[Asker]

no following exes, no flirting in DMs, liking, commenting on girls pictures if they are not celebrity, or friends etc.

[BarryLiverstone]

Seems reasonable. Liking a pic could be subjective. If you let him know those boundaries did he agree to them?

[Asker]

we haven't talked about it yet. and i know he had some online flirting with that girl before me. that is that is why extra worrying for me.

[BarryLiverstone]

Ok.. so that’s why you asked. She’s not a random stranger. You are worried that he is still flirting or sexting with her., and for all you know she’s flirting with other guys.

Best to talk about it. He’s your boyfriend now but he can’t read your mind. You don’t have to tell him that flirting with her in the past was wrong as he was single. But not that he’s your boyfriend, you would prefer he doesn’t talk to her anymore

U Share a pic, let me say omg lol
