Am i being immature?

Hey girls. Soo I'm 22 and my partner is 32. He has a big following on instagram and so do i, since the beginning I've always posted him/us together and once we had our son I would post him with our son as well. I've asked him a few times to post me (in a joke way) and he never does. Not on my birthday, valentines, Mother's Day or even our anniversary. His excuse is that "he doesn't post" which is true to a certain extent. He doesn't post actual posts but he does post stories. He always post his food when we are out (just the food I'm never in the snap shot). He post our son and his work. I'm starting to feel like he is embarrassed of me or something because why can he not just post me? Also he has a lot of "influencer" friends who are very pretty but I'm not like them at all. We had an argument today as I've just had enough of him acting like me asking him to post me is such a big deal. He says it's childish but all of my friends partners post them so I don't see the problem. Am I overreacting or are my feelings valid?

I can understand your frustration but social media is not real life.

@Olivia I do understand that I really do but me asking he to post me shouldn't turn into a massive argument. If he can post what he eats everyday why can't he post me?

Is he an influencer?

Because you’re not food, if he wants to keep you private he wants to keep you private. It’s his prerogative. If he didn’t post you pre your son, why do you all of a sudden feel he should post you after your son is now in the picture? He’s not changed, your perspective has but it will do you more harm than good arguing over posting and not posting. You’re both together and raising a child and that is what is important. From the age gap you’re also both functioning from 2 different SM perspectives. Let the man breathe there’s more important things in life

Sorry for being so blunt about it xx

Are you two in an exclusive relationship? I think this might be less about posting and more about needing to know if your partner is committed. Babies are clout and he still could be DMing other women

Tbh some of the art of social media is letting people have to guess and giving them room to assume. If his page is in anyway monetised then you've gotta let him decide what he posts.

You're being childish dear lol and you're age difference is showing here. Does he misbehave online or with his female friends to make you angry?? He doesn't need to post anything he doesn't want to whether you like his reason or not!!! The more important q is ..is he a good partner and father?? If yes then you're gonna have to stop with the dramas. He'll get tired of it. If you enjoy posting him then go ahead. But you can't force him to post you lol. If y'all can't manage social media then perhaps y'all both need to delete this crap. It does break up people for nothing.

@Kate I think you are the only person who actually gets where I'm coming from in this comment section 😂we are in a exclusive relationship, and I just wanna be shown off tbh. It makes him happy when I post him so i would like the same. I know it's not "deep" but I just feel like I'm a big secret if that makes sense. I don't know if people even know we are together so it would be nice if he just let his "followers" know he's in a relationship I guess

@Lav I feel like my age isn't showing because I know women in their 30's/40's asking for the same thing. If he gets tired of it then he can leave LOL. It's not like I'm asking him to kill for me😂yes he is a good dad and he is a good partner in the ways he wants to be (he will buy me gifts instead of doing things I ask for). But let's put it like this, if he asked me to wash his boxers and instead I washed his socks he would be mad. So to me I'm asking him to post me that would make me happy, not buy me gifts.

@Claritza yes he is

@Mou I get that, thank you for your answer and not being rude like some of the other women😂sometime i regret posting on her because it makes me feel like me feelings are not valid at all

Your feelings are valid ofcourse. However other people's views are valid too. Looks like you are ready to break up with the guy and that's the behind the scenes. He won't post you by the look of things so maybe it's you to think of going idk 🤷🏾‍♀️ the 40 yo demanding this from their partners would be insecure or immature. Delete this socials nonsense. It'll cost you.

@Lav your opinions are welcome but your approach could be way better. can we all remember "lol" means "laugh out loud". What's funny about this situation? Not insecure just want my boyfriend to love me OUT LOUD that's all. You need to remember when you are commenting on post people will read into it. I don't know you from Adam so you coming on here very blunt and rude (in my opinion) isn't needed. Coming with a backhanded comment again "looks like you are ready to break up with the guy"😂when you literally do not know anything about my relationship is so crazy to say.

I asked my boyfriend about this to get a male perspective and he said that he can post or not post whatever he wants BUT if he's an influencer, if he seems available, his following won't be negatively impacted. Not that he's looking to cheat. Being an influencer is just complicated

Everyone gets where you’re coming from I’ve read the comments over and over and I’m trying to locate where anyone has been rude to you lol, because you’re not being told what you want to hear doesn’t mean anyone is being mean to you. Every woman wants to be shown off but as I said if he hasn’t done it before, having a son with him doesn’t automatically give you a leverage to start wanting him to post you. I personally have big time influencer and celebrity friends that have dated for years and NEVER post each other. If you have a good thing at home don’t let your social media expectations affect your reality. Don’t stress him about it, don’t create an issue out of it, when he’s ready he will post you. Also if you follow each other and you post him all the time and your page is open then everyone who cares to know will know he has a woman. Posting you will not change the thirsty girls going after him lol there’s some that even prefer men taken.Social media is not real.

@Olivia there's been a comment that hasn't agreed with me and I thanked her for her opinion. Like I said there are ways to talk to people on this app without being rude. I put examples of how it came across rude to me. And same I also have influencer friends and they be posting each other like it's nothing.
