my bf and i have been together for about 4 months now. im 19 he's 21. our sex life is great and occasionally we watch porn together. but sometimes, especially lately, he's been on a "like" rampage on facebook, liking pages that pertain to barely clothed girls or girls asking to be rated. such pages will have titles like "daily hot girls" or "xxx hot girlsxxx"... you get it. i only know this because it's been coming up on my newsfeed more often, when he likes a page or when he likes/comments on the photos. it does make me feel slightly insecure, but at the same time a little disgusted because i don't really understand the point of these pages especially the ones where they ask to rate random girls in the photos. they're so objectified. anyways it's been making me feel annoyed, is it wrong that this bothers me? and is it something i should talk about to my bf?
He is 21 years old. He likes hot girls. Your relationship is 4 months old and you watch porn with him. He isn't shackled by the ball and chain of marriage, lol. I think it's normal.
That would bother me too, esp because its probably easy to get in contact with those girls cause they must all have a facebook. But if your relationship is healthy then he probably won't try to contact them, but just look at their pictures to jack off or whatever, Block it from your news feed.
Considering he doesn't do that behind your back (he knows that u see what/who he "likes"), u shouldn't worry too much about it. He's only 21, it would be very strange if he didn't like checking out girls' bodies.
Looking is one thing, but "liking"? I'm not getting his motivation for doing that. Is he aware that you receive these notifications? I would feel like an asshole for doing that, and I would feel like a dumbass for contributing to the meat market mentality of these "rate my pic" things. Turns my stomach a bit. Personally, it strikes me as an assholishly insensitive kind of thing to do, especially if he's aware that you see these notifications. I don't think it would be out of line to tell him that it bothers you. His reaction to that will be very telling with regard to how you can expect to be treated in the future. Grant it, he is young - but in my book that's not a pass to be an insensitive asshole.
Just tell him it bothers you. Tell him you understand he will be attracted to other women, and that's fine, but that getting these public notifications is a little much.
this is why I've blocked most girfriends I've had on facebook while I'm dating them. It starts fights about what you're liking, who's posting on your wall, why are you talking to this person, whats up with your status, blah blah blah blah blah so unnecessary.
Men want, nay NEED to be berated, nagged and generally made to feel that looking at other women is just about the worst thing they can do. Pressuring them with guilt is one of the greatest gifts you can give in a relationship. Especially in the first months. A healthy dose of unfounded mistrust doesn't hurt either. Yank that chain and keep it short OP. This relationship is going to last forever.
so many of the relationship problems posted on this forum would be easily resolved if the poster would just talk to the person they're on a relationship with, instead of strangers on the Internet.
If I really loved my gf. I wont do that shit on fb. I have a guy friend that does the same on fb and has a gf for 4yrs and he cheats on his gf. You should b careful bcus if my gf was likng other dudes pics I would feel disrepectd. I wont stand for that jive.
So long as it's just pictures / porn I don't see a problem. It's only fantasy & never likely to be realised.
whether realised or not isn't it disrespectful? plus if we don't like someone enough to want to commit couldn't we just explain this saving girlfriends/boyfriends everywhere the trouble of committing themselves? plus - as ever if the boot was on the other foot...
