Is it strange my boyfriend has his female best friend as his lock screen on his phone?

[leiladunnn97]

Maybe I'm overthinking but he's cheated on me in the past.
I know for a fact he went to school with this girl and they're in the same swim team and they're absolute best friends but he has this picture of her where she modelled a swimsuit (one piece, nothing revealing) as his lock screen.

i feel a little uncomfortable but is that something guys don't really think about?
Like I have my best friend as my lock screen but she's same gender and she's pulling an ugly face...

We've been together a year. I guess I stayed because I'm weak haha he realised that he messed up and still tries to prove himself to me but now I'm just overthinking every female in his life...

If he cheated on you in the past, then he will cheat on you again. Putting his "Best Friend" as his lock screen is strange, especially when it's a friend who is a girl and in a swimsuit posing as a model. There is more going on and if you already have doubts and worry, then chances are it is valid.

My first serious relationship had me as the chump. After about a year and a half she admitted to me that she cheated on me. I left her that same day but after a few weeks we got back together. My thinking was that I didn't find out from someone else, she admitted it to my face, was sorry and all crying and crap. At the time I didn't say anything, I just told her to get out of my car. Zero emotion and that's what made it worse for her because I didn't react. I didn't yell or call her a deceptive slut, I just told her to leave. But stupid me, I figured because she was honest about it, she was truly remorseful and there was a chance we could still make things work.

We'll after another year and a half the relationship tanked and I'm sure she cheated on me again. I learned a lot from that experience with her and learned not to let idiots like that into my life again. When it all happened I was 19-20... Right where you are it would seem.

I would recommend leaving that sh*hole and find someone better whom you don't have to worry about. He sounds like a player and he is no doubt screwing around behind your back. The fact that he has his "friend" as his lock screen is showing that not only can he cheat on you, but also have other women on his phone's lock screen whom he is very close with... And you'll still stay with him like a sucker. I wouldn't be surprised if he boasts about it to his friends.

He is fk'n playing you and regardless of his excuses or whether or not he is or isn't cheating on you, cut your losses and find someone better. If you can't trust him and your gut is telling you something is going on... It is.

It is somewhat strange. Maybe he s trying to get a response to it from you. Anyway you should probably just ask him. You should be able to just discuss it with him right? If you can't​ talk then something is wrong with your relationship. But if you can't trust I would say something is wrong anyway.

[Calixx]

I feel you should ask your boyfriend about it. Maybe ask him how he would feel if your lock screen was of your male best friend in HIS bathing suit.

Your boyfriend may or may not get upset. But, regardless, it is pretty disrespectful for him to have her as his lock screen. Perhaps it's an inside joke, or she changed it to that. But, I feel you should ask him to change it if it makes you feel uneasy and uncomfortable. He should also respect your feelings.

[dexterakoss]

he loves het

[xxmamichulaxx]

Guys dont make a girl their lock screen or background if they dont have feelings for her, most guys in relationships would have their spouse as a lock screen over a female friend. he's cheated in the past and now has this girl as his lock screen, that seems like a big warning sign that not everything he's doing may be innocent. how long have you two been together?

[menina]

Yes, it's really strange. Especially since he has cheated on you in the past.
I don't think you're overthinking, I believe you have reasons to be worried.
You should talk to him.

[FaithfulGuardian]

What you are having is not overthinking, it is your instinct. So he has cheated on you before and you are still with him? It looks like whatever heartbreak coming, you are half responsible. He having another girl as his home screen means her importance overshadows yours, and it is not about how revealing her clothes are. It is not like it is a celebrity's picture, it is his "best friend".

And a side note: unintelligent women are a turn-off so that could cause a men to cheat/not seeing his girlfriend as important, just so you know...

[881056]

You have plenty of reason to be angry or confused, you're his girlfriend. If any female should be his lock screen picture, it Should​ b you. I personally don't do that thing at all, I keep my lock screen and such as a nice hd nature picture. (not that you asked that part but eh)

I'd try telling him how you feel about it, and that you would like for it to be changed.

[IHatePolls]

Uh oh. As a guy I have my best friend as my lock screen, but that's because we love eachother. We are both single and neither have told each other "hey I like you," but it's definitely there. Most of the time when us guys put a girl as our lock screen it's because we want to always be able to see them because we love them. You might want to confront him about it and if he denies it leave it for a little while.

[callmedarthrevan]

(Wondering why you're still with him after he cheated on you, but that aside) I think you're totally validated in your discomfort.

[jenny33]

Girl!! O no, I would not tolerate that shit! Any girls face on my bfs lock screen is gonna be mine and no one else's and he knows that shit! That's disrespectful

[1truekhaleesi]

I would end it. Especially knowing that he cheated in the past, so he can't be trusted.

[TinaGreene]

It's quite strange, maybe change your lock screen to a guy friend of yours to see his reaction!:)

[Anonymous]

Yeah that is really not good, if it was just a random model or whatever it wouldn't be too bad but because he actually knows this girl makes me think there's a lot more to it.

[Mary_June]

Ask him about it. I will tell you, though, if you're the one he gets into bed with each night, it shouldn't be too much of a bother, but I can understand it being uneasy and uncomfortable.

[lovelylittlelyrics]

Hmmm... could go either way. He has cheated on you before which is concerning, however he could just be good friends with her.

[singlebee]

"but he's cheated on me in the past"

No its not normal that he has his best friend on his lock screen... plus he cheating on you and you saying with him us not normal too..

You have low self esteem and that's why are with him I guess

[Chanel1981]

This would be a problem for me as well. If you have a bad feeling about it chances are you're correct. Always go with your gut!

[Creative_M]

Either he likes her or he fantasize about her and as he had cheated before it might be a sign that he will be cheating you with her

[reptocarl]

I wouldn't like it and why the fuck are you with a cheater?

[reptocarl]

I don't think you're over thinking

[BigJake]

Yeah, real weird. She's probably the girl who got away, that's how they ended up 'friends.'

[dannymexico]

Holy shit that's weird. Maybe he does it to mess with you though. Mind games

[Louxon]

Indeed, it is weird. I think he may be more interested in her than you thought.

[NatashaJ]

no no its normal if you catch him having sex with her in the near future its normal

[Tanya246]

That's very strange u need to talk to him about it. That's not right

[Anonymous]

yeah that's weird unless it's a group shot of them. cuz that could be totally for the memories. To have it JUST of her, isn't really appropriate at all
