Is Liking Other Women’s Instagram Photos a Form of Cheating?
New York Post ^ | Nov. 19, 2023 | Isiah McKimmie

QUESTION: I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years and can imagine us getting married and having a family together. The only issue is that he often likes pictures of other women on Instagram and chats with them. It makes me feel like I’m not enough. I’ve challenged him and he says it’s not cheating and is just a bit of fun. Should I just accept his behavior as part of our relationship?

ANSWER: Whether or not this is considered ‘cheating’ is beside the point here. Your boyfriend is doing something that makes you uncomfortable and rather than listen to your concerns, he’s dismissing you. You don’t need to accept his behavior if it doesn’t feel okay for you.

“Shorter answer: Yes”

Concur
Many people struggle with addictions, when the wiring has been changed the struggle is shear will power alongwith bolstering prayer and support. 12 steps isn’t the summit it’s the starting line. Few prevail but one must continuously “endeavor to persevere.”

You’re probably naive about what the article is addressing. Instagram is almost nothing but photos and videos. There are massive numbers of accounts where women post provocative photos and videos in sexually suggestive poses, in bikinis, thongs, skin-tight outfits that leave nothing to the imagination. Many are very sexually provocative. And lots of these accounts are used for dating and hookups.

Setting aside the issue of whether this is a bad thing to begin with, many men engage in virtual AND literal affairs with the women they meet through these accounts. In this context, a man in a committed relationship with a woman is cheating if he spends time browsing these images and videos, whether or not he “likes” them, sends messages to the women, or meets them for a date or hookup.

Self-respecting women should not tolerate this in a relationship. But they also should not be making such posts on social media themselves. It’s a two-way street.

Yes, it is. If the woman or man you promised to love, honor and obey, forsaking all others isn’t good enough to light your fuse in the boudoir and you’re looking at images of other men or women and lusting after them, yeah, you’re cheating.

People chat here. Are we cheating? (I hope not.)

Typically, we post news articles about politics, not soft pron pix of ourselves, to instigate the chat.

chiffon jacquard

Well, that's a contradiction in terms right there.

I was just throwing words up for effect; I really don’t know what they mean, except that pumps are shoes and I think chiffon is a type of fabric.

With the nature of “boyfriend - girlfriend” relationships today, I’m not sure “cheating” for this comes into the picture.

Married? It’s cheating.

I guessed that; just tweaking you, FRiend. Chiffon is sheer dressy fabric that you can see through. It is often the over layer on a satin evening gown. Jacquard is a heavy fabric used for draperies, upholstery and fancy women’s jackets, that usually has raised designs woven into it. But they both can be lime green!!

When we’re here on FR we’re cheating on all the other conservative sites.

This reminds me of my ex-. I didn’t know how to deal with a grown woman who could be jealous of cartoon characters. It wasn’t that I spent more time watching them on TV than I did with her, it was that she noticed how some female characters’ feminine forms were sometimes drawn to looked sexy. She would’ve bet that I would rather have been carrying on with one of them than her. Eventually, she became just another cartoon character to me, and I finally said “That’s all folks!”.

A “situationship”. Women have no idea how to secure committment today because of feminism.

It's not worth it. If you're a guy, go for a test drive. But that's about it. Don't buy the vehicle. It's too expensive. You can't afford it. If you want a vehicle that badly, you can settle on a lease.

You can tell which women are “For Recreational Use Only”.

Well. Whether it’s her job or not, and that’s debatable, acting married with him without being married is not helping

There are some good ones. No doubt about thar. Otherwise, the pickings are pretty slim. The best thing you can do is to leave America.
