Dear Abby: Husband's social media seems to serve one purpose

When it comes to online behavior, a husband's Instagram activity can be a contentious issue for his partner. Recently, an individual was left feeling hurt after discovering their spouse's account featured predominantly women who flaunted their bodies in provocative poses.

Experts argue that this behavior can be viewed as a form of lust rather than emotional cheating, with the latter involving the establishment of an infidelity relationship. However, some point out that looking at scantily clad women online does not necessarily pose a threat to one's marriage. Rather, it could be seen as a harmless pastime for many men.

The notion of "looking with lust" is likened to the old-fashioned practice of admiring Playboy centerfolds, which once hung in garages, sparking debate over their objectification of women. It seems that, like the risquΓ© magazines of yesteryear, an Instagram account featuring a plethora of scantily dressed women can be viewed as an innocuous indulgence for some.

Meanwhile, a hairstylist is grappling with hurt feelings after learning that another niece has offered to do her sister-in-law's hair on the wedding day, thereby potentially upstaging her. The hairstylist had previously agreed to style her sister-in-law's locks but feels betrayed by this new development. A piece of advice from Dear Abby advises drying off tears and waiting for results before taking any drastic action.

In another case, a couple is struggling with communication issues, where the wife constantly questions, doubts, or disputes everything the husband says. The tension has reached breaking point, with the husband now preferring not to engage in conversation due to fear of being disbelieved again. Dear Abby counsels that this anger should be expressed directly and that both partners seek counseling from a different therapist if necessary.

Ultimately, relationships involve navigating complexities and nuances; it's essential for individuals to address issues promptly rather than allowing resentment build up over time.
 
I think its pretty normal for men (and women) to follow ppl they find attractive online, esp if its just about looking & not anything more 😊. Its like, we all browse through fashion or sports websites without thinking twice right? But when it comes to spouses, people get hurt easily πŸ€”. Maybe some guys should be honest w/ their partners about what they're doing online & listen 2 their concerns too πŸ‘. On the other hand, I feel bad 4 that hairstylist - getting upstaged on her own sister-in-law's wedding day? That's just awkward πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈ.
 
Ugh, I mean... I guess some people just can't handle the fact that their partner is interested in other things online πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. Like, newsflash: Instagram isn't exactly a private platform anymore! You're sharing it with your followers, so get used to the scrutiny πŸ’β€β™€οΈ.

I do think, though, that having a bunch of hot women on one's feed can be pretty distracting... but, hey, maybe it's just me πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. As for the hairstylist drama, girl, dry off those tears and remember: it's just hair πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈ. And don't even get me started on the communication issues... I feel you, babe 😩. But honestly, can we all just take a deep breath and communicate like human beings instead of resorting to passive-aggressive behavior πŸ€”?
 
I think its kinda cool how these online things can bring out emotions, you know? Like, a guy gets hurt because his wife sees him looking at other women on Instagram, but is that really something to get upset about? I mean, maybe he's just looking at some cute pics, who cares? And then there's this hairstylist who's all like "I'm gonna upstage my sis-in-law" and its just a big mess. But you know what? Relationships are messy too, but they're also super beautiful. We gotta learn to communicate and talk things out, or we'll just keep on stressing ourselves out. πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ€·
 
Ugh, I feel so bad for the hairstylist πŸ€•. It's like they really invested their time and trust into doing her sister-in-law's hair and then get blindsided by this new offer 😱. It's all about communication and setting boundaries in relationships... if someone agrees to do something for you, it doesn't mean they can just back out later πŸ’”.

And I totally get why the husband was hurt on his Instagram account πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. It might be harmless to some people, but for him, it felt like a betrayal of trust πŸ’―. Relationships are all about emotions and feelings, not just logic and reason 😊.
 
ugh, men and their Instagram obsessions πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ... like, can't they just keep that stuff separate from the rest of our lives? πŸ™„ I mean, I get it, some guys are just naturally more into the "objectification of women" thing... but come on, doesn't it get old after a while? 😴

And on a completely unrelated note, who else is tired of these "Dear Abby" columns that are always like "just talk things out and go to couples therapy"... like, no thanks, I've got better things to do with my money πŸ’Έ. Can't we just get some real advice for once? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
πŸ€”πŸ’‘ I think its not just about the content on their accounts but how it makes them feel πŸ˜”πŸ‘«. Marriage is all about trust & compromise πŸ’•, but this online behavior can be a deal breaker for some πŸš«πŸ’”. Like, if ur partner is only interested in 'checking out' women online and not making an effort to connect with u IRL πŸ‘₯, that's gonna hurt πŸ’”.

And can we talk about how toxic it is when ppl assume their partner is always gonna be right? πŸ™„πŸ‘€ Newsflash: we're all human, we make mistakes & need to communicate openly πŸ’¬. If ur partner is not communicating effectively with u, that's a bigger problem than what they post online πŸ“±.

But at the same time, I think it's also important for us to relax and not be so uptight 😎🌴. Like, if ur spouse posts some cheeky pics, it's probably just them being themselves πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ, not necessarily a sign of infidelity or anything πŸ‘€.

Anyway, I'm all about finding that balance πŸ’– between giving each other space & not judging each other too harshly πŸ™. After all, relationships take work and patience ⏰πŸ’ͺ
 
I'm like "yaaas, play the Playboy centerfold gallery" 🀣 and call it an afternoon. I mean, who doesn't love a good eye-candy session? But, on a more serious note, if you're married, don't be that dude who's just scrolling through Instagram all day, 'cause your wife is gonna be like "honey, where's the beef?" πŸ˜‚. And, hairstylists gotta watch their backs, folks! You can't get upstaged by your own niece on someone else's special day. That's just basic business etiquette... or so I thought πŸ€‘.
 
I think its all about respect & trust in a relationship 🀝. If your partner knows they're not bothered by you checking out other people online or seeing provocative pics, then thats cool I guess 😐. But if it's making them feel insecure or hurt, that's when you gotta talk to them about it, you know? Maybe there's some underlying issues you're both ignoring πŸ’­. And in the hairstylist situation, it sounds like she felt disrespected & betrayed πŸ€•. I think its super important to communicate openly with your partner & work through problems together πŸ’¬. Maybe they can even try couples therapy or something πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ? Anyway, relationships are all about navigating stuff & not letting resentment build up πŸ˜”.
 
πŸ€” I mean, I get why some guys might have an Instagram account with a bunch of hot girls in it, but honestly, it feels like they're trying to prove something or show off their masculinity πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. Like, can't we just move on from all that objectification stuff and focus on real relationships? And what's up with people getting so hurt over this kind of thing? It's just social media, right? πŸ“Έ A hairstylist being upset because someone else is doing her sister-in-law's hair on the wedding day... yeah, I get it, you want to be in charge and feel important πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈ. But can't we all just get along and support each other? And couples who are struggling with communication issues need to talk things out, not shut down πŸ—£οΈ. It's all about finding a balance and being understanding of each other's feelings 🀝.
 
OMG 🀯, can you believe some people are really struggling with their relationships? Like, I get it, communication is key, but don't wife-gate your sister-in-law for doing a haircut, girl! πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈπŸ™…β€β™€οΈ It's just hair, not the end of the world. And honey, if you're feeling hurt because someone else wants to do your hubby's sister's hair, maybe take a deep breath and realize it's not about you.

And omg, I'm so over couples who are always questioning each other's words like they're crazy πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ€―. Like, if you don't trust him, communicate that directly, don't assume he's lying just 'cause he says something you disagree with. And if it's really a major issue, seek counseling together (or separately, idc). Relationships are all about growth and compromise.

Let's be real, some guys might just check out scantily-clad women online 'cause it's lowkey harmless πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, I've seen my guy do that too, but only when he's stressed or bored (not on the sly πŸ˜‰). And honestly, if you're feeling hurt about it, have a convo with him about it, don't just assume he's cheating. Communication is key, folks! πŸ’¬
 
πŸ€” I think its pretty normal for guys to look at attractive women online, but when its a married man and his wife feels hurt about it, that changes everything 🚫. Its not just about objectifying women, its about who he trusts in the marriage. Some guys might be able to handle the feeling without jeopardizing their relationship, but for others, its a red flag πŸ’”.
