My SO amd I have been together for 5 months and he has yet to post a pic of us on instagram or Facebook or even Twitter. I have posted some of us (recently took them off cuz I was tired of looking stupid). He's got a wHole bunch of followers and I feel like he cares more about losing them thirsty girls on his instagram than he does about posting a picture of us. Should I drop it out what?
 
Usually if you have to ask yes. But if yourr feeling some type of way address it. Some people are just private.
And thirsty ig people will stay thirsty forever

I'm mostly upset because he posted pics of a white girl that he had a fling with a while ago because she was covered in tatts and she looked good on his IG but since I'm not he won't post any of me. At least that's how I feel.

Oh now thats weird. id definitely address that.
 
Sorry you're feeling this way celiabug

It sounds very immature of him to put social media above your relationship.
If you don't mind me asking, how old is he?

I don't know any facts other than what you've shared, but maybe he's not as ready as you are to be in a committed relationship or doesn't want others to think he is. Just a thought. But yes, I agree that you should talk to him about it.

He's 22 and that's what I'm thinking. I'm going to ask him if he really wants this relationship because I'm tired of feeling like he's hiding me.

I would be pissed. I'd fall back and make sure he is as committed as you. I surely wouldn't post any pics of him at all. I'd remove every single one. Keep your eyes open.
 
Instagram is the relationship theme of the week :lol:

I didnt see the issue until you mentioned the white girl. But I will say if he posts the picture, look forward to lots of friend request of people being nosy.
 
How long was the white girl in the picture (no pun intended at all)? 5 months is still pretty new. Does that include before yall were official?

Good idea! Get somebody who is going to be proud of being with you because you're the prize!

Thank God I don't define me and my SO's love for each other through Facebook or Instagram!
That's so whack! :lol:

It was basically a one night thing

Oh HAYLE nah. I am not a person to parade my true business on social media (I've never had a relationship status on FB, even though I've been in plenty since I've had a page) but that is crazy. He posted a one night stand on IG but won't post his SO?

That ain't right. I hate to say it, but he's CLEARLY hiding you for a reason.

I think you are younger than me, and most people you alls age do use Instagram as a source of popularity and validation. Ordinarily I am against making a big deal about social media, but in this case I understand your annoyance.
 
And this is the skinny dude right? I'd post a pic of Morris Chestnut, shirtless, talking 'bout how good Best Man Holiday was :look: and I wish he would say something :look:.

Then just talk to him about it in a calm way. Because if he was hiding you then you wouldn't be introduced to family and friends. You two may have a different idea of what putting pictures on facebook means.
 
Communication is important, so I say talk to him about it. You have a right to be happy in your relationship and if you aren't, then let him know. If you decide to leave, he can't ever say he wasn't warned.


I am VERY private, so you won't see pictures of me and an SO on social media unless I am tagged in it. I also don't do the "Single", "In a relationship" thing.

In a span of two years, I watched someone's status go from in a relationship to Married, to Single to Engaged and Married again. Two different women.

What I DO notice on these sites is the women are so quick to post 50-11 pics of them and their SO, and their SO posts none. Women will "like" every single status their SO posts and their SO doesn't do the same. (I'm not saying it's wrong or stupid. It's just an observation)
