I am a 24 year old woman dating a 26 year old guy for the past 2 years. I was looking through his Facebook pictures and I'm shocked at how in love he looks with his exes from high school and college. He is smiling all goofy and is cuddling them and kissing them in every picture. I also notice that his high school girlfriend was always at his family's house and close with his family. His college girlfriend kept away from them as she and his mom did not get along apparently. With his college girlfriend there are tons of photos of them kissing and cuddling and she sitting on his lap all over facebook. He looks so smitten and comfy and happy.
When we started dating he firstly hated taking pictures and refused to be tagged on facebook. Now he has gotten used to the fact that we take pictures but he still looks so awkward and stiff in photos with me. We don't have any cute "in love" couples photos. All our pictures together seem like they are obligatory photo ops. I know its super silly but I feel hurt and a little discouraged looking at his body language in pictures with me versus his exes. |

| Maybe he takes you more seriously as a partner? |

| Maybe he doesn't like you as much as he liked them. |

Thats what a body language expert would say, wouldn't he?

| Could you copy the photos and photoshop your face over the ex's? |

| Maybe you need to cut yourself off from trolling his old FB photos and stop obsessing about his exes. |

| The camera doesn't lie. |

| Maybe because he's older now, and more mature. Most grown men don't exactly relish being in cutesy lovey-dovey photos. |

| He was young. It's not really about the couple. |

| How long have you been together? You can't really compare comfort level in photos of a 6 month relationship with that of a previous 3-yr relationship. |

OP says they've been together two years. Clearly he loved his previous women more.

| Seems to me like he no longer feels the need to use Facebook/social media to validate his choices and feelings. He doesn't want things to posed and public. Sounds like a more mature approach. People who post a lot seem to care more about what others think and proving something to their audience. Maybe he's realized that's not what he wants to do anymore. |

| It's got to be so weird for younger people to have their entire life documented forever for either themselves or others to go back and view. I would hate that. It's just so odd. |

Maybe he took some heat at one point for oversharing on Facebook.
Maybe he's embarrassed about what's recorded there for all to see and doesn't want to add more. Maybe he's gotten older and changed in some ways, including perhaps PDA. Maybe he's trying to build a professional presence online. Maybe he's more insecure about his appearance. Maybe he loved them more. Could you try to worry less and build your intimacy more? |
