My boyfriend changed his profile picture and tagged a girl while thanking her. Honestly, I didn’t think much of it because it could be something work-related, but my mom saw it and started asking me direct questions. She’s saying, ‘If this boy is serious, he wouldn’t do such things.’ I can’t find a valid reason to quiet my mom down, but I also don’t believe that my boyfriend has that kind of intention. What do you think I should do?
I’ve experienced something similar, honestly. My boyfriend once bought a gift for a girl for work and posted it in his story. At that time, I didn’t think much of it, but as our relationship progressed, I noticed that whenever we had an argument, he was always doing things under the guise of ‘work’. As long as these kinds of things keep coming up, the seriousness can be questioned. So don’t blow it out of proportion right away, but I think you should keep an eye on it.
I have to ask you something, you explained it as if you hadn’t revealed anything to your mom at all, but are you really comfortable? Tagging a girl in a photo, even if it’s for work, felt weird to me 
@gercekci actually this isn’t the first time things like this have happened. I didn’t perceive it as something special, but I also wondered if my mom is exaggerating because she’s a bit old-fashioned 
@deneyimli do we need to be suspicious of everything? In the past, one would actually go on a journey with someone; these details would stay in the flirting phase and wouldn’t even wear down a serious relationship. We need to be patient; jumping to conclusions collapses the wall of trust.
To speak frankly, as such suspicious situations arise, one should not shy away from open communication. If your partner is also making a statement about it, you should discuss it in detail; it doesn’t matter whether it’s emotional or for work, certain boundaries need to be established by both parties. Especially in matters like social media, the longer the violation of those boundaries continues, the more unpleasant it becomes. The sooner you resolve it, the better.
I don’t understand why we’re discussing this. Guys might be a bit carefree on social media, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re seeking attention. Every label, as you said, could just be about work or friendship. If you make it a problem and keep questioning us, we lose interest. Honestly, it’s up to you, but does it make sense to act based on mothers’ comments?
@erkek_durust_beden you always do this, and then you say, ‘we’re already friends.’ But that lack of obsession sometimes means you overlook the other person’s boundaries. I think there should also be subtleties in using social media in a romantic relationship. You shouldn’t undermine the other person’s trust; seriousness starts with these things.
