whenever I see these questions ' is it okay to do or say this to/with my significant other"

the same answer comes to me first, every single time...

ask your significant other, lol... they are their own person, they are the ones going to be affected by your actions, they are the ones who know better what is okay for them or what is not

we should not be asking absolute strangers about personal affairs... sure asking for input is fine and all that and yes, it can be helpful to have others' perspective, however... you should have the last word, you should know yourself and your partner much better than anyone else... and these are things that involve you and him, so you should be discussing it with him

and if you already did, and he does not see it necessary then that is probably because it is not necessary or perhaps you are being unreasonable or just do not want to accept his reasons

these things might be okay for others, might not be okay for some others... the one and only input that matters here is the one from your significant other and yours, lol

and finally... my own input, not it would not be okay to just ask someone else what to do with their online social life unless you have valid reasons to want to control what they do

if you had the valid reasons to request these things, and then your boyfriends does not understand nor accepts it, then you should reconsider your relationship with him, if it is that bad... if is not that bad then it is probably best to let it go

this is about the actual details of which we really don't know anything about from this post

Yes it's okay but you have to be prepared for them to say no. Or a rational unemotional discussion of why it's important to you.

Yes it is fair. I do not have this problem with my S. O. He barely uses social media. But I see situations where guys post things that maybe they think is ok but it actually embarrasses their girlfriends and it would be fair to ask them to take it down. The opposite is also possible. I think if you post something you think is OK and your S. O. asks you to take it down, why wouldn't you take it down, it might just be a blind spot you have nobody has to get mad about it. JMO!

Not okay. Let them do what they want

AviatorTom · Answer

No, it's not okay. That's too controlling. Let your partner be who they are, which includes who they fraternize with.

If they have to be asked you may need to have a conversation...
