I've been seeing this guy for over a year now. We started off as friends. We were friends fr a few years before then until he said he liked me and then things progressed.

We still act like best friends, as in he flirts with me..and is forever taking the mickey out of me in a friendly way. But we don't speak to each other like couples do in thr sense of all the soppy speak. I.e baby I miss you and love you etc etc it's not like that.
We.see each other once a week or once every other week. and in between we do remain in contact. When we see each other everythings good we get on really well and don't argue.

Only yesterday he was joking around about us having kids he ws like make sure you name our kid ...... an then he said it'll be good he will be my security guard for you etc etc. and he's also mentioned marriage randmly aswell.

But one habit of his which really.annoys me is his need.to follow a random woman every other day on. instagram. I can see his followers increase every day and it's usually a woman he doesn't even know. Not even celebrities since that's normal I guess. And not being bigheaded but half these.women are either thr same as me looks wise or worse I honestly.don't see anything special in any of them. Fair enough we all find other people attractive but I wouldn't go an follow hundreds of other guys. in fact if it was the other way around would he really like that. I don't know if im over thinking it or if it really is a cause for concern but I just.don't see the need for it. he will log on to his instagram and his whole home feed will be full of women taking selfies. is it really necessary?
I even showed a friend pictures of these women and about one of them she said "eww shes ugly" but I didn't tell her about him following her. That's what I mean none of them are anythin special yet he's sittin there perving away.

I don't know about anyone else but I would want someone to be so into me that they focus only on me and not have images of hundreds of other women in their minds.

Having said that evrythng else is fine in the.sense that we get on and he will reply.to me straight away if I message and hl arrange when to meet me.next. But yeh it's just the instagram thing which gets me.thinking I suppose and also the fact that he's so overprotective of his phone. even if I innocently say can I look at your pics or your apps or play a game he just flinches and grabs his phone

You aren't in a relationship, right? Sounds like you're FWB.

He's prowling. That's all. He has sex with you right now and is content to "play house," with the occasional baby and marriage comment.

But I'm the end he knows deep down you aren't the one, so ... still he looks. Keeping his options open.

You should really focus on other aspects of your relationship than to worry about him following random people on Instagram. That's such a non-issue. Are you guys even gf/bf yet? Seems like you're just talking to each other. But to get mad at who he follows on IG?

This sounds like something a 15 year old would get mad and care about.

Because you give him attention and let him "get physical in different ways."

again it's hardly a lot. he initiates a lot.of things. once I got mad.and I stopped talking.to him he seemed to care a lot for someone who doesn't care. he was like after everything I've.one for you you go and do that. he was referring to what he did for me back in the way when wer were just friends

So if everything is going great, why does something meaningless as him following random women on Instagram even matter?

Focus on you and him. Not things that don't matter. Unless he's throwing it in your face or he's like "Im talking to this hawt girl on IG and Imma slip in her DM's", what exactly is the issue? Lots of guys do that. I'm pretty sure I've followed a few random IG women in the past just because, it means absolutely nothing, though.

Because he can't spend time with a woman on the computer.
You're real...that's why he "waste so much time on me".
Sounds like a freak to me....I don't understand why you're so interested in a man who feels the need to "follow" a different women every day...that's weird.

How do you know what's on his phone if he doesn't let you see it?
