male friend

i have had a male friend for many years: the son of my mums male best friend. my friend recently got a girlfriend, and she was angry that my instagram had photos with him on it. to keep things calm, i took down any photos with just him in. however, she’s now asking that i take down any photos containing him, including any group photos. i really down want to, and i kinda want to block his girlfriend. am i being unreasonable, or should i take them down? any advice is really welcome x

Just ignore her she’s insecure and you are a friend of his. He needs to consider if she’s a nice person to see to be honest . Take it as a compliment because she must think your pretty if she’s worried 🙂

Block her. Life’s simple.

even better get a cosy picture with him now, and pop it on your feed - be a bit sassy with it - it will be good for her to see your not a push over :smile:. And get her thinking, i guess you dont know her in person ?.

If I found out someone I'd recently started seeing was taking it upon themselves to contact my friends in such a way i would end things immediately. That relationship is going to be horrendous.

i understand her not wanting photos of the just the two of you up (to a certain extent) but anything more than that especially when they’ve just got together is absurd and i would say to just ignore it and block her x
