My ex moved away four months ago and now he is back after having a hard time in the new place. We our back together but taking things slow. My sister took a video of our reunion and I showed it to him and he thought it was so sweet. I took a screenshot of it to post on fb. I asked him it was okay but he kept on talking so I did it anyways. I didn't imply to the world we were back together or anything, just that I missed him and it was so good seeing him. This morning I was on his fb and the picture was gone. I was upset about it and took some advice from a few people guys and now I understand how he might be feeling

 

I did get advice from that because we're starting over and taking things slow, it might have been to much for him, and I made have crossed a boundary and might be a lack of privacy. And that I also didn't get an answer from him to post it. I really feel like I need to apologize about it and tell him I'm sorry for posting it without his permission. I was just so happy to see him and i'm someone who likes to document things (Probably because I'm a filmmaker and photographer). Do you think I crossed a line and should apologize? I feel bad that I did this to him

I am one of those people that do not like any aspect of my private life on social media, especially relationships, perhaps he is the same way.

 

Privacy is not sacred anymore and when you put things out there for the world to see, it is really difficult to take back.

 

I would apologize for jumping the gun.

I tend to be the same way.

 

OP, you contradicted yourself. First you said you're back together but taking things slowly, then said you're not implying that you're back together. So which is it? I think it was not a great idea to post this before you two have clarified what your current status is.

Im sorry I meant to say we are taking things slow and are together, but I didn't post on Facebook that we were back together. I didn't want people to know yet or anything.

No, you were 'implying' to the world you were back together -- to make sure other girls he might have been involved would back off. And you did it without his permission or okay. And save the 'documenting things' excuse and stop living your life online.

Instead you posted a screenshot of your reunion with your ex? :confused: How exactly were you expecting everyone to interpret that?
