Her Boyfriend Keeps Sending His Married Friend Photos Of Girls With Flawless Bodies, And It’s Making Her Insecure
When your significant other does something that leaves you feeling less than or inferior, and they don’t stop after you express yourself, it’s hard to figure out how to move forward.
To be fair, it might leave you questioning if you should keep seeing that person or end things then and there.
This 24-year-old girl has a boyfriend who is 26, and he’s developed a routine that makes her feel super insecure.
Her boyfriend constantly sends photos to his married friend of girls with flawless bodies, and his friend reciprocates.
These girls in the pictures are completely perfect, with flat stomachs, toned muscles, and huge chests.
She and her boyfriend have an open phone policy, so she does look at his phone and witnesses all the photos.
It’s like a slap in the face to her and sends the subtle message that he values certain characteristics that she doesn’t have.
“It hurts me and feels disrespectful,” she explained. “I know he loves me, and his friend loves his wife too, so I don’t think either of them would ever cheat.”
“Still, seeing these pictures makes me uncomfortable and insecure. I’ve told him that while I understand he loves me, I don’t like this “habit.”

“I didn’t want to be too strict because I realize it might mean nothing to them and is just something they enjoy looking at.”
It’s not like she hasn’t voiced her concerns to her boyfriend about the photos; she has, and he’s done nothing to curb the behavior or make her feel more comfortable.
She’s left wondering if you would find this problematic if your boyfriend was doing this. She’s also curious if this is simply a normal thing she shouldn’t be so upset about.
What advice do you have for her; do you think this is an example of boys being boys?
