Should i be mad at my bf?

Recently I got really upset at my bf for having half naked girls on his twitter feed. He didn’t follow the girls that would usually post these pictures but they would often repost other peoples pictures. He said he doesn’t really look at them and just scrolls past them if they do come up and although I want to trust him, I can’t help but think he’s looking at those pictures when I’m not with him. We had set these boundaries way earlier on the relationship so it’s already known we shouldn’t follow people who post like that. He tried defending himself by saying he doesn’t watch porn which I got even angry at because that’s the bottom line and said he follows random people on tiktok but doesn’t really look at their content. I checked out his tiktok later on and realised I couldn’t see his following because he has a privacy setting on. I can’t help but think that he’s probably following people on there, I don’t trust him right now so how do I approach this situation?

It's his privacy and that's the reason he has these privacy settings on. Don't be nosy. And yes, Twitter does send random pics of half naked girls which is a problem. Stop being so controlling.

Twitter doesn’t send me random pictures of half naked girls.

For a while now Twitter has been recommending tweets, like TikTok recommends videos, but I'm pretty sure you have to interact with those sort of posts in order to get them recommended. Don't fully count me on that though.

Dont be mad at him. Just take ur relationship to the next level
No, you're being too controlling. if a new partner tried to 'set boundaries' about what I watch or look at I'd take it as a huge red flag, I believe your own insecurities should not dictate other peoples boundaries. Like where does this end? if you are watching TV together and a pretty woman in a bikini comes on, does he have to leave the room or cover his face? if a girl smiles at him in the street, is he just dumped? :rolleyes:

I understand why you think this is controlling. These are boundaries we had set for each other so in a sense I can’t do the same things I used to do when I was single as opposed to being in a relationship with him. As for your question ”where do these things end?” Well we have discussed what we would not be happy with and not be so we know where things end and where things start because we’ve had this conversation. I believe it’s important to discuss these things in order to prevent arguments related to boundaries being created in the future where it hurts your s/o

for me, it's tit for tat, if we've both agreed on boundaries, provided both of us did agree and he breaks them, i would discuss this with him and then tell him, that if he doesn't want that boundary, then i won't respect it either.

Imo, this is a bit much, if he doesn't follow these kind of girls, he doesn't like the photos, then that should be fine. The fact that he said he doesnt watch porn as a defence kind of tells me that he wants to watch it, and tbh, i don't think it should be as big of a deal as you're making it out to be.

don't snoop, be upfront and honest, he is his own person, allowed to follow who he wants and capable of making his own decisions and you are allowed to do the same.

ask yourself why you don't trust him and maybe you guys need to work on that bc trust is fundamental in any kind of relationship

Well you set those boundaries and this is about to be the cause of an argument and lack of trust, not the prevention. Imo your boundaries are unreasonably excessive and near certain to lead to more issues that you would even feel they solve. To say nothing of how he will star to feel about the badgering and mistrust.

Repression doesn't build loyalty, it drives a wedge between couples that gets bigger and bigger.

The argument would have taken place regardless if there were boundaries set there in the first place. It’s not ‘repression’ it’s basic communication, understanding and respecting your s/o.

Find a guy who isn't heavy on social media.
Like tik tok.....? Corny guy right there.
If he doesn’t follow them then it’s not really an issue. The “for you” part of Twitter is pretty random. I see loads of profiles I’m not interested i or follow.

If his friends follow these girls and reply to them, the tweets and pictures will show up in his feed.

During meetings with my ex, I lost weight, acne and hair loss began, I still had health problems, but I continued to love him, because I did not understand his behavior and thought that I was to blame, he apologized, but I still I broke up with him, do you think it is necessary to give a second chance

No. I am not giving my bf a second chance. If he hurt he hurt you plain and simple and he doesn’t deserve a second chance. If what he did wasn’t a big mistake it doesn’t matter at the end of the day he disregarded how you felt when he decided to do whatever he had done
