This is sooo off topic from diet, but has anyone else had relationship issues because of facebook? I have an insecure boyfriend who is always making comments about men liking my pics and he is continually questioning me about who messages me and has mentioned looking at the messages. We end up in an argument every time. So, last night I unfriended him and now he's pissed, lol. I handled this situation in the way that I thought would be best. Opinions? :)

    He sounds like a clingy sod to me, tell him to back off and let you have a life outside of him.

    How on earth did un-friending him seem like the best option? Of course that's only going to fuel his insecurities!

    I love when people use Facebook to get back at their spouse, it's a joke.

    Drama, drama, drama. OMG.

    Facebook is not the meaning of life.

    Dump him. He's insecure and you're only fueling it.

    What sort of pics are they? Normal pics, or sexy poses with minimal clothing?

    If they are normal pics that you could send to grandma without embarrassment, then he is really insecure. Whether you want to sort that out with him is up to you.

    If you are posting sexy things on Facebook to get attention, then he may have a point.

    I think you are mistaken. He is constantly checking in on me because of his jealousy and insecurity issues.

    ya unfriending him definitely not the right decision, now he knows your on there talking to other guys and has no way of even seeing what your chatting about....that will make him way more insecure. You need to take his feelings into consideration...how would you feel if the roles were reversed?

    It sounds like he may need to figure out why he is so insecure. If it continues, I’d probably break up with him because I couldn’t deal with that because insecurity is not just Facebook deep; it’s going to spill over into everything he does.

    My husband does not even have a facebook. Well, he does but he never uses it, he only set it up under a fake name so he could get extras for some poker app game he plays on his phone. His fake facebook is not linked in any way to either of my face book accounts (my real name one or my modeling one).

    Occasionally, his friends who are on my FB will try to start drama offline by referring to things I post on my FB which they blow way out of proportion. The last time, my husband got really upset until I showed him the actual post I made on Facebook. He took the actual post and compared it to what his friend said I’d posted and told his friend to grow up and stop starting nonsense. His friends have been good ever since. ;)

    Hahaha! It's not about getting back at anyone. There is no vindictivenss, I simply want to avoid the endless amounts of questioning.

    I think you're mistaken. You thought deleting him would delete your issues? Wrong.

    How about deleting your facebook account. Or, your boyfriend.

    Insecurity is insecurity, no matter what she is posting.

    The issue isn't really with my pics, for he knows I'm attractive. The issue is with me being friends with men...period.
