This is bothering me so much.

My bf follows a bunch of random local women on his multiple IG accounts. Some are his band pages for music, and others are his work pages anyway. He follows so many women it just bothers me so much now that I'm looking at his following. I want to bring this up any advice?

I would just preface the conversation by saying that you have noticed something that is feels hurtful to you but that you don't think it's intentional but you would like to discuss and come to a resolution together ,then explain the behaviour and why it's bothering you/how it makes you feel about yourself . If he becomes defensive respect your feelings and boundaries and honestly ask for time to yourself to consider the relationship. You have to be prepared for that outcome and really think whether this is a behaviour you can accept or not and be v firm with your boundaries.

I have known and even lived with some in the music industry. Most not famous.

They need to have a following just to be noticed.

You must take this into account. Your talking about his very livelihood and what he wants to do.

If you're not comfortable with that, then perhaps it's not an ideal match.

Yet keep in mind every profession has its own drawbacks. Fireman for instance have little time for a family. And military people keep on moving around.
You could talk to him about it. It's okay to feel a little insecure sometimes, as long as those fears don't project onto him. If you care about him and trust him, you could look at it logically. Most those girls probably already have boyfriends. They're following his band, he needs a following or nobody shows up, so he's going to be social with all kinds of people. Doesn't mean he wants them. If he's your boyfriend, he chose you. And worrying about it won't stop him from being unfaithful if he's going to be unfaithful anyway. Trust your instinct. Good luck.
I don't think there's any harm is asking him about these women. I follow a lot of girls on my instagram account as well and I've met maybe a handfull of them. Usually if a serious girlfriend asks me about it, I just answer honestly that way I can avoid any unnecessary jealousy. If he doesn't answer quickly, he just might need a second to figure it out.

Approach is going to be everything in this situation. Most likely, there's nothing going on, so asking in a non-accusatory tone will help. As a guy who plays in bands, I have definitely had some gfs have an issue with female attention and/or friending on social media. Good luck.

Do you own him? Is he not allowed to have friends. I dont see the problem, he has eyes, he's allowed to use them right? You have to have more trust and not be so insecure. Unless you have proof that he's doing something just let the man breathe . You cannot expect his world to just stop and revolve around you. They are pages that he's following he's not out grabbing azz

@AngelUnforgiven it's what he is paying attention to.

He's in a band and you don't like women following him? I suggest you leave him now. This obviously bothers you and it's not going to stop. Save yourself the heartache and leave him now.

As long as he isn’t messaging them I don’t see an issue
