    Why is he even looking at pictures of you on your friends FB page?

    I'd tell him to grow up, what does he expect you to do, not interact with any other men until he says it's ok?

    As for not believing you, really? Does it matter?
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear

    You could ask your friend to take them down, but I've no idea why you would.

    You told him the truth about who the man was, he doesn't believe you, its none of his business anyway.

    Its no longer your job to pander to him.

    Could your friend caption them to make it obvious it's a random stranger?

    Or take them down, I don't think it hurts to be considerate of other people's feelings.


    I agree.

    Good for you for caring and understanding how he might be feeling right now.

    Whether she takes them down or not he's going to believe what he wants to believe now. Its not the pictures he's upset about its the fact that he thinks she's with someone else.

    It is often advisable to have a total break from someone when you split up with them. No calls, texts, emails, tracking what they are up to via facebook and the like. Remaining friends is possible after a while, but things can be way too raw and sensitive, for this to be achievable in the very early days after a split. As your ex's over reaction to you being in the same photo as some random bloke is proving!

    There is no need to ask your friend to remove these photos from her account, you have done nothing wrong. Once you start tiptoeing around someone and their emotions it can be a slippery slope. I would suggest that you agree to give each other a bit of time and space to move on and maybe in a few months get in contact again as friends.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Why does it matter who the bloke is, if you know him or not, or whether the ex believes you? Key word ex.

    Ignore him and leave him get on with his tantrums.
    .................:)....I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on ...:)
  • Its non of his buisness what you are doing with anybody, so I would just ignore him and move on.
    I personally dont like facebook for many reasons, people cant help but nosy about others, and other people boasting about their lives.Also them leaving all that beheading stuff on as well is distastefull.
    Its about time people kicked it to the curb as its basically rubbish and causes more problems than its worth.
