YouWish agony auntI think you're right. He either is with you, or he isn't. It's profane to a relationship to keep his options open like that, and any female friend who is or was either an ex or a former romantic interest is disqualified from being a platonic friend.

He should delete her. But you have bigger issues than whether or not he should delete her. If he's lying about meeting with women, and he's getting stubborn about keeping options open, then he's not as into your relationship as you are.

How would he feel if after you both got together, you kept your options open, kept guys who wanted to sleep with you in your friend's list, and lied to him about meeting with other men? He wouldn't like it.

I think, given your on-again-off-again relationship and the fact that he's keeping his options open, which means a vote of no confidence in your relationship, you might want to end this one and move on, rather than wonder over and over and eventually get left by him anyways.

ImmortalPrincess agony auntIf I got upset every time my husband "liked" or commented on something on another womans facebook page, or they "liked" or commented about something on his page, I would be in a constant state of MAD. Same with me, I like and make comments to things on other mens pages all the time, and they with me.

It's no different then agreeing with, or making a comment about something someone does or says in the real world. It's not like she's commenting on his pictures and tel;ling him how sexy he is, or posting inappropriately on his page, she "liked" a post about the Yankees......I mean come on.....really????

I know you don't want to hear this, but YES, I think you're being petty, and petty is a VERY good way to destroy a relationship.

Pay less attention to what's going on on facebook, and more attention to what's going on in the real world.

AuntyEm agony auntFacebook strikes again!!!!

Did you ask him to take her off? He knows her presence upset you before, don't think it's unreasonable to ask him.
