Basically the title. We both have access to each other’s accounts, so I can see the viewers on the stories she posts. For context, she previously reposted something saying it’s the bare minimum for your boyfriend to remove all the girls from his friends list. I did that. I removed all the girls except family. She has admitted that this standard doesn’t apply to her and that she’s allowed to keep her male friends while I wasn’t supposed to keep female friends. I don’t agree with that, but that’s a separate issue. Now, regarding the thirst traps: she posts them and tells me they’re not for other men. I don’t have a problem with her posting them if they’re genuinely just something she enjoys posting for herself. What bothers me is that there are guys who regularly view those posts. When I tell her I’ll remove those guys, she gets angry and says I’m being controlling. Her argument is that the posts aren’t for those men. That’s where I’m confused. If the posts genuinely aren’t intended for those guys and she doesn’t care about their attention, why does it bother her so much when I remove them from her friends list? I’m not saying I know her intentions. I’m asking how other men would interpret that situation. How do you guys feel about your girlfriend posting thirst traps while in a relationship, and would you be bothered by the men who regularly view them? submitted by /u/dartlord74
