I have a friend who has been divorced for probably 3-4 yrs. He has been see'n a girl for about a yr to 15 months. She was in a serious relationship of about 4 yrs before meeting him. He is mad that she has no pictures of them on her facebook and still has a few of her and her "x". He has a few of him and her, but I don't think many, mostly of him and his kids.

I think FB can/is a problem and not to care what she has on it, only concentrate on how they are doing. I think it also has to do with him telling her that he loves her and she hasn't said it yet. But when I have seen them together she shows that she does, imho.

they both are in their mid-late 40's and he is acting like a "punk", if you ask me.

Does he have reason to be mad? He won't listen to me and I think I'm right......but I have been wrong before.

His wife did cheat on him so he doesn't want to go through that again, I'm sure. So in a way I can understand.

BTW, she was ending her serious relationship when she met my friend and, as far as I know, hasn't talked much with her x. She is a pretty good woman, imho.

All help appreciated. Hope he will listen to all of you, cause he doesn't agree with me.

I think he should talk to her, but Facebook doesn't seem to be the main problem. She might not even care or notice the pictures on Facebook. I don't look at my pictures from 8 years ago very often.

He's a bit old to be acting that way.

JMHO of course.

I think he has a right to be upset.

Facebook is not the issue, but being together this long without saying she loves him is a problem. Do they hang out with her friends and her family as a couple?

I think if this were a woman posting, other women here would be saying it was right to be concerned. And what's good for the goose is good for the gander -- men have a right to respect and commitment in their relationships, too.

she's on the rebound, and your friend has insecurities; that's what the problem/s is, not FB, imo, although, FB isn't helping the situation.

Is she on FB a lot?

If not, it's probably not intentional.

I mean, if her last post was July 2012, he needs to relax.

Yeah, my first thought was that he's filling a void for her. She hasn't told him she loves him in 15 months and isn't publicizing their relationship on FB (when it sounds like she has done so in the past, and has yet to remove those). Who knows.

Off topic - I don't know why people add SOs to FB. I have never and will never for this reason alone. People read way too much into minor actions.

both in their 40's?

he should be dating a younger woman, I guarantee if he does that he wouldn't even care about her facebook account.
