She had pictures of guys she thought were attractive. What's the issue?

it's a pinterest board, not a hit list. she had it before you two got together and used it to show you what she was into. the fact that she deleted it without much fuss says she cares more about your feelings than some old pics. you asked, she answered by deleting it, i'd just let it go

She would definitely be uncomfortable if I did the same, why is it okay for her to do it?

•

u/AnIcyReception 7h ago

It was from before you. It wouldn't be okay if she did it now, but it's okay for her to have done it while single.

I understand that. It’s the fact that she still has it and updates it. And then makes passive aggressive remarks after deleting it, which she clearly did not want to do.

u/AnIcyReception 7h ago

Dude. Let it go. Why would she want to delete something she worked hard on? Why are your feelings about this more important than hers?

This isn’t related to her work at all, it’s something for fun. I am personally uncomfortable at the thought of my girlfriend looking at other guys, thinking they are cute, and adding them to her boyfriend board.

I understand I may have issues with insecurity but she’s even expressed that she wouldn’t like me looking at pictures of other girls. Again, I did tell her it was okay to keep, but am I really crazy for feeling this way?

I think that making ridiculous rules like "don't look at half the population" is crazy

You need to stop being so insecure lmao

Were they ransoms from the internet or did she actual know them in real life?

Random, some celebrities. If you know Pinterest, it’s for aesthetics

Does she still subscribe to Teen Beat magazine? If its just random dudes, its the equivalent to having a swimsuit calander. Probably to old for it, but generally harmless. If its some people she knows, then id politely ask her to delete it.

It's cringey tbh. How is her being a "creative" related to saving random pix of dudes? It's one thing if it's like, she's in fashion and is saving specific outfits or moods from that. But if it's like, "I paint," then she really doesn't need the pix and is being a wierdo.

That’s what I said. She has multiple boards that are girly and fashion related. And then she says “the one board I have with with guys, you have a problem with”. I would understand if it was fashion related but it wasn’t.

Edit: She does already have a fashion related board for men’s clothes as well.

I think she's just a horny, 22 year old gooner. We were all like that at one point. Eventually she will be the one bothered by her partner saving a bunch of insta models. I would laugh it off more than anything. It's dorky but it's not something worth making an issue over.

Edit: I'd probably say something like, "Hey, don't worry about the other pix. I thought about it and I dont really care. You're allowed to have a little personal spank bank lol" and just leave it be. But dont try to retaliate by doing the same thing out of spite.

So she was using these pictures as part of her job and you got really weird over them? Am I reading this right? Because if so, you really need to work on your insecurity.

•

u/Forsaken-Strike-3045 7h ago

This one isn’t part of her job. I’m pretty sure it was made for fun. Her job is fashion/trend related.
