[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I read through this entire thread and did not see a single helpful post - or even one that sounds sane. Who is on here today?? 
It's understandable to me the OP feels uncomfortable about the FB pics. She wonders about her place in this guy's life. Totally reasonable. Does not make her immature or out of line or in competition with the dead wife. 
Perhaps the man is not able to move on, he is still mourning and not ready for a new relationship. He is dating, he is trying but it is not working. Or perhaps he feels some obligation to honor his late wife's memory. Possibly he feels guilty about dating someone else. Maybe the marital relationship was not perfect and he feels guilty for not being a better husband. As if somehow he can be a better husband now, at least on Facebook ...? 
I don't know. People are complicated. I think it is reasonable for OP to talk to him about it. Gently of course. They have been dating a year, she should know where she stands. Why should she not exist on his social media? It does seem odd. I don't see why approaching the topic is off-limits. [/quote]
