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.

I think the closest she is going to get to marriage with him is in her imagination. Perhaps later she will “settle” for someone not a Chad but will never be satisfied with who she settles with.

The guy could simply stop hitting the “like” button on some bimbo’s instragam if his gf was so upset though she seems kind of controlling

Two years of dating and you “imagine” having a family together? Forget instagram and just ask him if he want to get married. Otherwise the clock is ticking......

Not a wise guy. He wouldn’t want her liking other dude’s pictures and chatting with them. You reap what you sow.

No. My wife and I, going on 20 years next year do it all the time. Our saying is, are you breathing? Yes. Then you’re looking. Now having desire or other thoughts about that person hopefully of the opposite sex, well that would be a hard NO.

it’s one thing to look at flashy cars you’d like to drive but when the urge to Take a test drive becomes overpowering, There may be a deal in the works. if you are a Chevy but your boyfriend is checking out Porsche’s, don’t be surprised when he takes a test drive. just fyi.
