writes:This question pertains to self esteem and insecurity. My bf and I are expecting. In the past, we've had issues concerning social media and the pictures I chose to post. I argue that my pictures were hardly provocative, but he was uncomfortable with them nonetheless. This created a lot of tension in our relationship, so much that I deleted lots of friends and pictures, and eventually we chose not to be connected at all on social media. It's recently come to my attention that he's been "liking" photos of many women on social medi. AND A Lot Of These women aren't dressed or posed any different than the photos I had that he had a problem. I realize social media is this construct; it isn't what's REAL but it seems to be problematic in our relationship. I love this man, but he's opened a side of me that I'm very uncomfortable with. I don't want to feel so insecure, especially now that I'm 7 months pregnant and I want to feel loved and secure with him. Honestly, we have no other troubles but I get really self conscious when he's on his social media accounts and I don't like it at all. Any suggestions as to how to approach this situation?

 Speak to him. Open up and tell him how this is making you feel. Work together to earn trust respect and self esteem.

 Couples counselling. Now. You have a baby on the way and you both need to be mature about this, dropping all social media concerns.

 Why not put your foot down about it? You deserve all the support you can get. He needs to grow up. He has responsibilities now and they don't include a fantasy life on social media.
