Boyfriends' Profile Picture...?


Question Posted Sunday September 15 2013, 12:18 pm

My boyfriend recently changed his profile picture and it's him and his ex in his arms.. Should I be worried? I had my best friend ask him (I know I shouldn't have done that, but I was freaking out) and he said that it's his ex and she's dating his friend. She got really jealous a few days ago when she saw us together (This was when I didn't know who she was, but then when I saw her in the picture that's why I freaked out). I don't really want to talk or ask him about it because I don't want him to think I'm jealous and stuff... He hasn't changed his attitude around me and he still tells me he loves me, but should I be worried?

This whole scenario doesn't look right. Something isn't right about that.

You should be concerned that your boyfriend has displayed a profile picture of him and his ex up. Not only is it a picture of him and his ex, but it's a picture of him and his in his arms. That's definately not the right symbol for an 'ex' to be displayed or kept if he's in a relationship with someone else.

He told you who she is, but he certainly didn't tell you what was the reason for him putting up a picture of him and his ex. There is no reason for him to do that unless he's back with her, or he has feelings for her and wants to get back with her. Unfortunately, he may lie to you and he is probably keeping something(s) from you.

You should address this to him and demand the truth. He may or may not give it to you, but don't be no fool. Any person who puts themselves in this situation does not have good intentions and is not a person that you need to be with.

This MAY sound like it's not an important matter, but it is. It's the "little" details like this that matter the most.

He may be lying to you. Investigate more, but as you can see, this should have never happened. You now know that something just isn't right just by the looks of it, so don't be fooled so easily.

Yes


An ex is the past and should stay the past. Someone who isn't with someone should never have their ex as a profile picture. Not to put the icing on the cake, but he has it up for everyone to see. I am sure he is well aware of the fact that people will most certainly think they are back together.

Guess what, It's a crock of shit that he loves you. A normal human being in a relationship with someone wouldn't go and put a picture of an ex on their profile unless they have bad intentions. Unfortunately, He is lying to you. The fact that he even has any photo laying around is a big no no. It's rude and inconsiderate, Fuck him.

You already know something's not right. There is no reason for his picture to be with him and his ex, unless he still has feelings for her. I mean he's dating you, she shouldn't be in his pictures.
She still has feelings for him if she's getting jealous.

If you can't openly talk to him about things like this, then the relationship won't work. Couples should be able to talk to each other about situations like this. If you bring other people into it, like your friend, the relationship won't last very long. You need to go directly to him and talk to him in person.

Tell him that you're not comfortable with him having a picture of him and his ex as his profile picture. There seriously is no reason for that, even if they're friends.

In my opinion, you should be. I think showing pictures with his ex is kind of weird because he's not with her anymore and if she got jealous of you guys and then he did that then he must still have some kind of feelings for her.
It doesn't mean he doesn't like you and try not to take it as if you did anything wrong. they were probably together for a while and he's having a hard time moving on.
Tell him how you feel and encourage him to cut ties and give him some time to let her go but like I wouldn't want them hanging out alone.
If he can't let her go and focus on you in a few weeks, it's probably time for you to move on.
