Okay, so my Gf's ex has been trying to contact her even after knowing that she has a new bf (which i find completely disrespectful), he's called her countless times, left her countless msgs, and she has always maintained that she wants nothing to do with him. I've always said that i have no issues with her maintaining relationships with her exs as long as shes upfront about it.

 

This guy is obviously still into her, she's told me that she has deleted him from all forms of social media, but today i noticed on my instagram news feed that she had "liked" one of his photos.

 

The issue isnn't the "like" itself but more so that she had maintained all along that she wanted this guy out of her life, yet her actions contradict what she had said, just felt like a mini kick in the guts after i found out, he still tried msging her telling her how much he wants her back after knowing i was now in the picture.

 

I confronted her and she said she was sorry and that she only liked it because she knew one of the girls in the photo and thought nothing more of it.

 

I can't help but feel like I have my guards slightly up again , and my trust for her has decreased a bit.

 

Do you guys think im overacting?

I think I would react the same way if I were you - but seeing it from a 3rd party, there is no need to get too bothered by it. Let her know how you feel! She does seem like she really does not want anything with her ex.

Now that you know the story its not a problem is it? If it still is then you're overreacting.

It's a bad situation but it's being caused by the obsessed ex. On FB if someone is tagged in a photo, their friends can see it regardless of who posted it. There's no reason to believe she isn't being honest in what she said about the pic situation. Unless you have other evidence you should drop the matter. And from what you've said, she doesn't need to be reminded to stay clear of her obsessed ex. Best you can do is keep an eye on things.
