I [F23] have been with my boyfriend [M25] for about one year. Overall, our relationship is generally good, but sometimes I feel insecure because he follows many girls on Instagram and likes their photos. I know this doesn’t mean he is cheating, and he has never given me a reason not to trust him, but I can’t help comparing myself. I’ve tried to ignore it, yet the feeling comes back. I don’t want to sound jealous or controlling, but I also don’t want to keep it inside.
Has anyone gone through this? How can I talk to him without starting an argument?
TL;DR: I [F23] and my boyfriend [M25] have been together for one year. He likes many girls’ photos on Instagram, which makes me insecure. I don’t know if I should bring it up or let it go.

Does he know the girls he’s following and liking? Or are these random girls?
Recently my ex broke up with me, and besides her many faults this one was one of mine.
Take this with a grain of salt. I never physically cheated on her and I was doing whenever i was angry at her.
I also was in their DMs , i flirted and sent a few pics.
I had no intention of doing anything i was just upset. So maybe just see if there is some underlying insecurity.
consider your own relationship with social media. Are you checking his activity? that can fuel insecurity and create problems where none existed. sometimes the healthiest thing is to mute or unfollow your partner’s activity so you’re not constantly monitoring 😀
