I Cannot Tolerate Extreme Insecurity In a Romantic Partner

I have a business page for our farm and I put a picture of myself up to show people it's not a scam, there is a person available to speak with.
Well, I got a message from some older fellow who was hitting on me, telling me how beautiful I am and wanted to 'chat'. I immediately blocked him, didn't even answer.
My boyfriend and I have had issues in the past because he doesn't like other men complimenting me and when he finds out I talk with male friends (who I grew up with or from high school - not romantic exes) he accuses me of 'cheating on him'.
So, I was honest and told him about this message and his response? "I don't see why you put a pic of yourself on that site anyway. What do you expect?". I was livid! I told him I'm not responsible if people view my pic and hit on me ... putting my pic up isn't "asking for attention".
You know, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. If I don't tell him and he finds out I'm a cheater and if I am honest and tell him I'm asking for it! Seriously???? I guess this pic was "asking" for some creeper to harass me. FML

If you put your picture out there are you actually surprised at the creepy men responding to it?? Why would you do it in the first place then tell your suspicious, insecure boyfriend? I'm so confused

@Fernie It's a business page ... a lot of people use their picture and I'm sure creepers happen no matter what. I tell him because if he finds out on his own I'm a "cheater" .. read the post. I want to be honest with him so he doesn't come unglued on me for something I'd never do. I'm not surprised at the creepy men responding to it, there are creeps everywhere whether you use a pic or not, my post is about how he reacts.... It's not like I was showing a lot of cleavage, etc.
@Hazeleyedforever1968 you weren't showing any cleavage

@Hazeleyedforever1968 Oh, sorry...I missed that first line in your post. Still...I don't understand anyone staying with partners who are so insecure they think you are cheating all the time and are threatened by your friends. That is not love and there is no trust
