Trust and Jealousy • hazelella • 20d ago

My boyfriend, who is 28, follows girls on TikTok, and I'm 25.

**Context:** My boyfriend and I have been together for over six years. Recently, I've noticed that he's been following a lot of girls on TikTok. I want to clarify that I typically don't mind him following other girls, but the current situation is different. Out of the approximately 250 accounts he follows, around 200 are girls, and they are primarily Asian. For context, I'm Hispanic and don’t resemble them at all. I know this might make me seem insecure, but it's tough not to feel that way. It definitely makes me uneasy, and I’m unsure how to address it without starting an argument. I want to emphasize that I’m not constantly checking his follows; it's just something that’s been on my mind. He mostly just follows and occasionally likes their videos, without much interaction. How should I approach this? I want to avoid coming off as controlling; I simply find it bothersome. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It's completely normal to feel uneasy about this! Approach your boyfriend gently by sharing your feelings without accusations. You might say something like, “I’ve noticed the accounts you follow on TikTok, and I just wanted to understand your thoughts on it. It makes me feel a bit insecure.” This opens the door for a conversation without sounding controlling. Honest communication is key, and it can strengthen your connection!

This opens the door for dialogue without sounding accusatory. Emphasizing your feelings can foster understanding and strengthen your connection. Good luck!

It's completely normal to feel uneasy about this situation. Start by having an open, honest conversation with him. Share your feelings without accusing him—focus on how it makes you feel, not on his actions. A gentle approach can help you both understand each other better and strengthen your bond. You've got this!
