Would liking an exes old photo be considered cheating?

Just food for thought. If you were in a long term relationship, would this be considered cheating?

If you think that you really need to redefine, and narrow, your definition of cheating.
It sounds insane. No person who thinks this will ever have lasting, healthy relationships. It sounds like crippling insecurity.

This was just a rhetorical question, solely due to the rise of social media and how it can affect relationships. Personally I wouldn't care if my boyfriend liked old pics, cause they're just pictures it literally means nothing. Not every question on here is about someone's personal life. Again it was just food for thought. No bad vibes here please :)

You're right, not every q is about the views of the Asker.
But by asking qs, you perpetuate ideas. Some ideas which honestly should be squashed, because they are so ridiculous. I didn't phrase my answer to include that, but it's another reason I don't like some qs like this. It implies a high level of intolerance of other peoples' behaviour, and that is not a good, yet all too common, occurrence in today's society.

I don’t think so. A lot of people just like pictures out of habit. Either way, unless there’s an intent to cheat I think it’s unfair to interpret something so meaningless in that way.

Not cheating, but it might cause problems. And it depends on the photo.

[Adam1978]

No it's not.

Duh.

I think by asking this question you already know that but you're just here waiting for someone to tell you it's okay, it's not baby bo.
