My (25F) boyfriend (24M) deletes every selfie we take together, says he ” doesn’t like pictures”

r/

Together for almost a year. Every time we take a selfie, he deletes it from his phone right after. He says he ” doesn’t like how he looks” and doesn’t keep any photos of us. He won’t even let me tag him in pictures. I feel hidden, like he’s ashamed of our relationship. He swears it+s about self-image, not me. How do I express how much this hurts without making it all about appearances ?

TL;DR: BF (24M) deletes every picture we take. I (25F) feel erased. How can i talk to him about this without attacking his insecurities?

    How long have you been together? Has he told other people you exist?

    Hmm… He’s either got low self-esteem, he’s hiding an affair, or he’s in witness protection.

    Do people in his life know you’re together? His friends and family?

    Never mind. OP isn’t even a good shitposter. You can clearly see that yesterday they posted that they were a 29 year old man with a 26 year old girlfriend.

    Does he post pictures of himself or let others post pictures of him?

    If he’s consistent in wishing to have no pictures posted, then he just doesn’t like it when people post pictures of him. It’s a preference he’s allowed to have.
