Would you be hurt at this?

Been with boyfriend for almost 2 years. Up till now, we have only really spent weekends together as I live 3 hours away from him. Because of the lockdown, he decided to move in with me temporarily along with his teenage stepson who is 19 and there is also my son who is 9.
I thought things were going okay until I saw a post he was personally tagged in. It was a joke thing, 2 men having a conversation about how they are getting a hard time off their partners and how tough it is. I know it was a joke but I wonder why my partner was specifically tagged in it and now it has got me paranoid he is discussing the tough situation with his friends. Am I being over sensitive?

Oh let that one go . Guys’ joke about silly stuff all the time . They have to appear insensitive to their friends but aren’t around their women . And your dating situation went from weekends to all the time . That’s a huge change !

Try giving him a little space and a little credit ... you’ll be fine

Yes, I guess you are getting over sensitive.

My most of my friends tags me in their nonsense posts. Tagging is used by them to get your attention, as you might have muted other sort of updates/notification. This types of jokes are common these days world vide. I have received tens of such jokes, even I am single and is not in any relationship.

Just ignore it.. And try to make all your family members happy at this time when everyone needs a mental support to go through the circumstances.

Best Wishes 🙂

@Jenni855 There can be many other reasons of doing this, like just making joke of others (this type of fun is common among males), trying to initiate conversation on useless topics, creating an issue in others relationship and enjoying it, or just without any reason.

If there is still any doubt in your mind, better to talk to your boyfriend directly instead of making guesses. Communication gap is the biggest culprit if any relationship. But don't start the conversation that makes it feel that you have any doubt.

I too am going with it's just guy humour, we always assume that our mates are getting a hard time off thier partners.
Talk to him, make sure he's happy and loved.

Well I think it was the wrong time for him to move in seeing that you are on lockdown yes you can go out just stay away from people . But how do the kids get alone and do you have your personal space that's important but if you are on top of each other that's not good. And what he said just let it go because you do not want him to think you are spying on him.

@updown2020 We haven't moved in together permanently. Just staying together through lockdown. He has a job in his hometown and I have mine here.

@Jenni855 Oh okay well then you well get some idea what living together would be like so when lockdown is over you decide to keep it up or not. Well okay it would be for not because he has his job in his hometown or one of you will find a new job or work it out somehow.

I see joke posts about murder and such while this is going on and it’s all light hearted stuff and sometimes I share but it doesn’t mean I or anyone else who shares it will ever participate in murder. These are all jokes and light hearted stuff to keep us going.
