No offence, but you talk about your boyfriend continually and firstly that behavior isn't normal. It usually highlights insecurity or an attempt to coaxe a reaction out of you, so being malicious or capricious and secondly, no one gives a **** about your anecdotal masochistic relationship apropos to every question ever asked on TSR. Again, what you've described here and before, is not conjunctive with "normative" or reasonable behaviour, especially from someone who's caring, he just sounds like a **** really.


If no one gives a **** then why would they ask these questions in the first place? Obviously they want opinions and I'm here to give exactly that. I speak about my boyfriend because this is the only place I can speak about him. Ever heard of catharsis? And I know my relationship isn't your typical relationship - that's exactly why I speak about it so openly. I'm not talking about my life because I so desperately want to, I talk about it because I think people on TSR need some kind of an insight into the outside world and how things work here in ****ty reality where you learn to make compromises on things you don't completely agree with.

You say "no offence" like it excuses your **** attitude. It doesn't. I get people telling me to shut up when I make my boyfriend sound like a good person, then I people like you who let their ignorance dictate their judgements and try to tell me that the person I know better than they do sounds like a ****. Keep your ignorance to yourself. What I write here isn't the full picture of my relationship - it's a snapshot.

If you don't want to hear what I have to say then don't read my posts. If you don't give a **** then act like it and do us both a favour by not replying to me.

Ayylmao.
This just in!

Men like pretty half naked women. Women are shocked by this new revelation.

Just because you are in a relationship does not mean he cannot look at other women. Just as you can look at other men. Looking and liking is not cheating.

You're not important enough to stalk. Unfortunately your ugly personality is stinking every thread.

Facebook is the death of relationships.


Instagram is pretty bad too. And the problem is fuelled by the fact girls with no class or intelligence or sense of self worth feel the need to post sexy semi naked pictures of themselves. I'm not sure what they get out of it other than it makes them feel more confident when they get lots of likes and comments. It's sad that they can't get confident within themselves without having to do that for approval. It also makes them dumb that they think they are more worthy because they look good in a photo, its as if they think these guys commenting actually care about them. They are also dumb that they can't see that there are billions of other girls just like them all over the Internet and they are not special or important because they have a hundred or even a thousand likes. They are just another girl with no sense of self worth grounded in who she is rather than what she looks like.

To be honest part of the problem starts when pretty girls post those selfies of themselves almost every other day for approval, that's the beginning of the problem. If people stopped using social media for vanity and approval everyone would be more confident, because using these sites in this fashion has become a craze and has totally escalated the problem of objectification and valuing people based on looks.

It's just sad. Girls can get used to the idea of guys watching porn because they need to ahem empty themselves but if they are liking and commenting on other girls pictures it becomes a lot more personal as it is actually like their boyfriends are trying to strike something up with these women.

Oh my days yes! I would most probably switch.

Yes, I am immature but if I liked another boys Facebook photos he'd (probably) be all up in my grill....

Liking on facebook is an action which is a communication. Looking and approving of something in your mind is not the same as acting on it. Though less severe than cheating physically, liking or commenting on the photo of a semi naked woman is communicating and acting on what you see. It is like if you are with your girlfriend and you see a hot girl you might look for a second but you wouldn't say 'oh I like what I see here' in front of your girlfriend because that is disrespectful. Girls can see what their boyfriends like and comment on on instagram or Facebook so it's basically like chatting up girl in front of them which is disrespectful. Guys can appreciate where appreciation is due but they shouldn't act on it ever.

Liking a photo is nowhere close to chatting someone up.

So what you are saying is that when a man is in a relationship cannot comment on other women?

Yeah and a woman should not comment on other men. Out of respect

**** that. I would not want to be in that sort of relationship. I would want a partner who is honest.

As long as she loves me I don't care if they want to drool over pictures of half naked men.

You would have to be seriously insecure if you get worked up about something so small.
This just in! Don't be surprised when she posts sultry pix of herself and welcomes other dudes to oogle her :smile:, because that's far more the equivalent lol.
