Liking the opposite sex’s pictures while in a relationship is harmless, as long as it is done correctly.

Being in a relationship with someone doesn’t end a partner’s biological disposition to the opposite sex.

It is in our basic instinct as human beings to be drawn to the opposite sex.

This isn’t unusual.

This is why advertisements are made out to appear visually appealing to the viewer.

Sexy models are used to sell everything from cars to a toothbrush.

Advertisers know how the human eye works and they play into it.

Merely liking the pictures of the opposite sex is a human reaction to what appeals to our most basic instincts.

The only time that you should be worried in scenarios like this is when the person you are with is liking a particular person’s pictures obsessively.

You observe your partner constantly lurking on the pages of this woman’s social media accounts every day, as he incessantly likes her pictures and comments on them.

This is when he has crossed the line and entered into obsession.

He has gone a lot deeper than mere human instinct or admiration.

In a scenario like this, have a talk with your partner.

He is naturally going to be defensive when you begin this conversation.

Mitigate this by introducing the topic without pointing fingers or making accusations.

You don’t want him to feel like you are accusing him of infidelity from the get-go.

The truth is, it’s conceivable that he doesn’t realize that he is infatuated with this woman.

Sometimes, when a person is so enamored with someone else, they don’t realize that their actions have become obsessive.

He doesn’t realize that he is on this woman’s social media on a daily basis and incessantly liking her pictures.

It takes someone like yourself drawing attention to this behavior for him to finally acknowledge that he is being obsessive.

This is the approach to take if you have observed that he is obsessively liking a woman’s pictures on a frequent basis.

What was his social media behavior like long before he met you?

There are guys who habitually like the pictures of the opposite sex on social media whether they are in relationships or not.

Is this who you are dating?

A guy that is in the habit of liking pictures of the opposite sex regardless of whether he is in a relationship or not?

In this case, liking the pictures of the opposite sex is second nature to him.

It is what he does.

This means that he was liking the pictures of the opposite sex when he was in previous romantic relationships too.

In his mind, there is no harm in it.

It’s much tougher to get a guy that has had a history of liking the pictures of the opposite sex to break out of this pattern of behavior.

This is where you have to be open to the reality that a compromise is required.

Without any form of compromise, where it is all or nothing, he is susceptible to liking the pictures of the opposite sex behind your back.

If you don’t believe there is a middle ground with this issue, you are better off letting him go.
