So I have dated my current girlfriend for almost 4 months now, and I have a simple question:
- Is it appropriate or not appropriate for my girlfriend to post a picture of her guy friend on instagram? The guy friend happens to be her ex-boyfriend by the way. But they dated for 2 weeks about 2 years ago. The picture that she posted is of her having a video conversation via IMO (Skype like video calling app) and she took a picture, or a screenshot, of her and her guy friend. The guy friend's face happens to occupy like 90% of the photo, while my girlfriend's face occupies 10% of the photo or screenshot on the top left hand corner. The reason she posted the picture, and video called her guy friend, is because it was his birthday. What made me even mre unsettled is that she has never posted a picture of any of her other guy or lady friends on Instagram. Ever!
I told her the picture makes me extremely uncomfortable, and we had a huge fight about it. I then decided to not follow her on Instagram anymore (she has a private account) since she refused to delete the picture. I unfollowed her so she can be free to do whatever she wants without risking upsetting me. But I was extremely hurt and felt like she disrespected me. She posted 2 pictures of me on her Instagram, reffering me as "KindBae". The guyfriend knows that I am her boyfriend.
I am an introvert, and she is extremely extroverted and very outgoind.
Am I being unreasonable in being uncomfortable and upset about what she has done? Is it normal for girlfriends to post pictures of their ex boyfriends or guyfriends with "heart" symbols all over the place?
Leave. You are is comfortable and she won't compromise.
You are being a tad sensitive about the whole thing imo. She wants to be with you, thus she is. Enjoy that and don't fret the small stuff.
