nakano Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Hi. I'm looking on some advice about a facebook issue. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost a year now. I don't have a facebook but my boyfriend does. We were talking about how he looked as a teen, so he started scrolling through his photos on facebook. He had a bunch of photos of his ex-gf on there but none of me. Now it doesn't bother me he has his ex on there because those are just memories in my mind. What confuses me is why he doesn't even have one photo of me on there. I asked him, "how come you have pics of your ex but none of me?" and he said well I can delete the photos of my ex if you want. I said he doesn't have too delete old memories. He didn't seem to understand more of the point that there is none of me. I really want to bring it up again but I don't wanna force him to put pictures of me when its just because of me asking him too. Has anyone had a similar situation? and its not like he doesn't use his facebook frequently because he just asked me how his new updated profile picture looked and it was him with his dog. he is always browsing it on his phone when we hang out too. : \ I was wondering if I should just make a Facebook but add no photos of him on it. Ugh, I don't know why this is bothering me so much. I know it shouldn't bother me but it is. Advice anyone?
TXGuy Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 or you can create a Facebook account and tag him on pictures of both of you. It might be as simple as he doesn't feel like uploading pictures. I don't use Facebook much at all. I only uploaded my initial pic years ago. The only other pictures on my wall were ones I was tagged on.
lilmissjava Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I have to concede that there is a whole generation that this matters to.... But I would say to let him put the pictures up and don't give any grief about it - it's what you want. Or take your own and tag. Don't make a whole new Facebook. You sound young and you might be in a hurry to put yourself right up there with the photos of his ex if you continue to worry about it.
LydiaLong Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 The honest truth: We're never as good or as exciting as his ex.
Poppyolive Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 The pictures could just be uploaded album pictures, or pictures he is tagged in? His profile picture is usually a picture of yourself or some artsy/funny/animal pictures. Get yourself on Facebook to see all this for yourself. My Facebook I don't load pictures, they're all tagged pictures. My profile picture is just me. Some people actively put pictures up and change their status often, others are lookers. Take a deep breath.
Zippy2000 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Well that depends when the last time you had photos taken with each other. I d be more worried if his relationship states was updted as "Single". Nah!.......................In fact with this photo debacle his relationship status should be: "Its complicated":p:bunny:
basil67 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Is it the case that the photos he's tagged in were uploaded by his ex? If so, it makes perfect sense that there's none of you. If you want couple photos, get a FB and tag him in the photos. Or, if he did upload the old ones, perhaps it finds it no fun uploading couple photos when he can't tag you. In short, if you don't use the media, you don't get a right to complain about him not recognising you in that media.

LoveRefreshed Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 yeah... as a dude, I don't do the whole uploading photos thing... or tagging.. or deleting... They just exist in cyber space because someone wanted it there once and I don't care.
clia Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 How often does he upload photos? If you aren't even on Facebook, I'm not sure why you care.
