So, my boyfriend and I used to be addicts. We both completed rehab and detox and turned our lives around. We have a beautiful baby boy together and I thought everything was good, we've talked about marriage next year. For me, having spent so long abusing myself, when I got sober and free from drugs, I implemented my own boundaries and standards, meaning I wouldn't let anybody take the piss out of me again... this past week, I've found him liking 100s of pretty, blonde, slim, young women's photos on social media. Not just a few, but 100s of them. Now I know it's just liking photos and he's not planning to run off with any of these women but these women are the exact opposite of me. Its made me incredibly insecure, its knocked my confidence massively. I feel it's really disrespectful to our relationship. On his social media accounts he's listed himself as "single"
I said if he wants to act single, he can go and be single. He apologised and said he didn't think I'd react the way I have done. Am I overreacting? I feel if it was me, I'd be disrespecting him and our relationship. We've had to fight through so much to get to where we are as individuals, not just a couple, I feel it's also disloyal. I have my boundaries in place for a reason and I won't be undermined by anybody, I don't want to feel like I'm not worthy or my feelings are any less important than his.

No youre not overreacting. Hes a grown man he knows what he’s doing. You make sure you keep implementing your boundaries and being harsh with them because at the end of the day you need them and the priority should your peace of mind ! You cant raise youre kid condusively if youre miserable from him and knocking ur boundaries to the floor. Think about what that teaches your son as he grows.
@Bubbles thank you. I needed to hear that. I'm not budging on this, I just wanted to make sure I'm not going psycho on him for no reason.

Good stand your ground. Because he needs to respect the boundaries you have in place 💕

Definitely NOT OVERREACTING!!!
