Why does my boyfriend still follow his exes if they never talk?

[Anonymous]

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 months. He hasn't had a serious relationship like this in well over a year to 2 years ago. He seems to have "dated" quite a few people within the last 2 years. He had a serious girlfriend of 2 years, but nothing really since then (until we started dating). When I asked/bugged him about all these other girls who he dated he said most of them were very short, maybe a month if that and when I asked him he said "none of them were that serious and none of them were tge right person" when I first met him I thought him amd I would be just a one night stand but he wanted a relationship with me and said I'm the one he wants to be with, even talks about having a child one day, but he still has a few of his exes on social media, but he doesn't talk to them ir associate with any of them, and I havnt daid anything. I don't think I have anything to worry about, but I'm not sure.

Ultimately it comes down to trusting him — either you do or you don’t. It’s pretty normal to feel a bit unsettled by a messy dating history, but if he’s telling you you're the one and isn't actually interacting with them, those follows may just be digital clutter he hasn't bothered to clean out. Since you've been together 6 months and are already talking about a real future, you either have to trust his actions or decide if this is a dealbreaker for you, but bringing up old, casual flings and short term relationships now will probably just cause unnecessary drama.

So he follows his exes. And? The past is the past. Sounds like you have serious trust issues

When you enjoyed something, you don’t throw it away even once you’ve outgrown it

Maybe he just never bothered to unfollow them? Hard to say.

My aim on GAG is to decode messy relationship behaviors so your heart doesn’t go through the emotional blender 💋

Him still following exes is usually laziness, ego boost, or “no hard feelings” vibes, not automatic cheating energy. The real green flag is he isn’t talking to them and chose a serious relationship with you.

If it bugs you, calmly say it’s a soft boundary, not a jealousy meltdown. His reaction will tell you more than his follower list ever will.

He just is keeping up with them, no big deal if they don’t talk
