I don't know how many times this topic has come up, but the most recent instance was this morning. 

    I was beating my face around 8 o'clock this morning listening to The Fam in the Morning on 93.9 where the topic of whether or not it matters if your spouse likes and comments on girls' or guys' pictures and videos on Instagram, was the discussion. 

    Both hosts and 98% of the callers all agreed that if their spouses engaged in that sort of activity, that was an issue. Most of the guests even said they consider liking and commenting on pictures a form of cheating.

My two cents...

    I am absolutely fine with any boyfriend of mine liking pictures other girls pictures on social media. Big booties, little booties, covered or uncovered booties, boobs, or just regular degular schmegular girls. Instagram is for liking pictures. That's the whole basis of the app and the sole reason for the like button, lol. You like it, you 'like' it. I'm pretty cool on that aspect because as a human being it's natural to find other people visually appealing and so what my boyfriend finds someone other than me cute. There's beautiful woman everywhere and I like the fact that he appreciates the beauty of a woman just as much as I.

    Commenting?.. Now, that's a different case. Commenting takes things to a higher level. I feel liking pictures, depending on your mate, can be very innocent, but when you are lingering on the photo/video to comment, hello problem. That's contact my friend and that's what we not finna do. 

    Once you go that extra mile to interact with that random girl/guy, I would in fact consider that cheating. Whether you do or don't depends on your personal definition of cheating within your own union, but with me, that's a hell no. What is there to say?! You don't need to know them and you've already complemented them by liking the picture. That's it, now keep it moving.

     Although I'm unbothered by my boyfriend liking other girls' pictures and videos on any social network, I would be lying to say I don't side-eye the hell out of him in my mind when I see one of a a girl that is more blessed than I in certain physical aspects, but I am secure within myself and in my relationship enough to brush it off quick. If he didn't want me, we wouldn't be together.

    A past time where this topic has come up I've witnessed several women reveal there reason for being bothered by their guy giving out 'likes' is because they feel that if he finds a woman with attributes they don't have, appealing then he must prefer the woman over them. And for that I do believe has to be a lack of self assurance and confidence accompanying that viewpoint. You have to know in your heart that your foundation is solid. Just because other women are beautiful, that doesn't mean you aren't and that he doesn't want to be with you.

    I feel there has to be a high level of self assurance and self acceptance in being comfortable with appreciating other women's beauty and furthermore, your guy recognizing that beauty. Just as much as I know my guy loves cake, I know he also loves a nice muffin. 

What do you guys think?! Comment your two, three or even five cents.
