There is a man I have known for many years with whom I've a budding relationship. Because of certain issues which happened last summer (long, long story), we are not a "couple" at the moment, but are at the point where we are trying to build up trust in one another.
I will admit that I am extremely suspicious of him, and I look at Instagram accounts of women I think he's interested in. I know that I'm going to get flack for this. However, I found that he has "liked" the photo of one of the women just two days ago, and she is naked in that photo. I confronted him on this, stating that I feel he is being deceptive, etc, etc and he feels I am being unreasonable about it. He's liked many of her photos, all of them are photos of her body.
Now, in his defense, he is a photographer by hobby, and she likely is as well. That is probably how he knows her, and has never met her offline. She lives many states away. However, as she has one of those "perfect" bodies, and I've confessed an eating disorder, body dysmorphia, and a general issue with my body overall, I feel this makes it even more unacceptable.
I wouldn't have known if I hadn't snooped, but then again, it feels so underhanded, almost like "What she doesn't know won't hurt her." We're not truly IN a relationship--so what happens, down the road, if he gets sick of me? Is this behavior showing me he'll seek out comfort elsewhere?
What do you all think?
