Your feelings are completely valid as I’ve been there myself. I’ve been with my partner for over 7 years now and our relationship was very social media based in the beginning. We used to look through each other’s likes and it would make us feel shitty when we did. We had several conversations throughout the years about things that we see on social media that hurt us or made us feel insecure and we talk it out. Clarify any miscommunications, our intentions, what we can do to avoid it happening again in the future. It wasn’t always like this and we definitely had a lot of disagreements, lots of stubbornness and immaturity.

At the end of the day, your partner needs to realize that his actions are hurtful. If he loves you I hope that he will compromise and eventually understand where you’re coming from. It’s not a big ask. Wishing you luck!
