I have a jealousy over it for some reason..i feely silly but it's how i feel. The friends he follows "like" pages of hot girls-which show their butts, bust etc etc..you can imagine..so if they like a certain picture it will show up in the news feed and my boyfriend will see. So far he doesn't "like" any of those pictures or follow those pages but it's annoying that i know this is so easily accessible. Atleast with porn or looking up pictures you actually have to put in some effort..you click on instagram and it's right there because these guys are liking these pictures left and right..i just feel jealous about it. I obviously know he isn't running off with these people on it but it bothers me thinking that he is looking at these pics rather than texting me or doing anything else. His ex is also on it and although he doesn't follow her etc--she is friends with his friends..so if they like a picture of her--he will obviously see it as wellI don't want to say anything obviously but I am just feeling very very annoyed about it and angry. Am I overreacting and just look past it?

 Yes you are way overreacting. He isn't even the one liking these pages, he is just friends with people who do. Yes he sees them. He also sees Maxim in the supermarket and Victoria's Secret ads and all sorts of other overly sexualized images of attractive women. He can't avoid these without locking himself in a bubble with no internet. It sucks, but there isn't much we can do about it. Why would you have more of a problem with one of the most innocuous sites on the internet and no problem with porn? I mean the lack of effort he's putting in should be a GOOD thing, not a bad. It means he's not interested in seeing those pictures, they are just there. It's like going to the mall. You don't want to see a million ads of supermodels in underwear, but you can't help it.
