I 25F and my partner 28M, we’ve been dating since the summer 2023 and before we met I was overweight and had trouble with my confidence. After a few years and after dating him, I got thinner and felt better about myself, for context I used to post photos of myself all the time, in bikinis, shorts, crop tops and more before we started dating and he knew this but when I gained weight due to depression I stopped and have slowly gone back to it. I noticed some time into us dating every time I posted a photo of myself (selfie) he’d act dry or his demeanor would be off, and he would not acknowledge the photo but I know he did see it. He would just post a photo (of himself) right after or the next day. That continued every time I’d post something, so I asked him if we were competing or something and he got annoyed with me and we never spoke of it again. It started to bother me when I’d noticed other women who are beautiful and are showing more skin get a ❤️ reaction on their photo by my partner and whenever he would acknowledge a photo of mine the reaction he would leave is a 👍. I know it sounds dumb but it bothered me cause I would expect him to be more reactive to me vs other women. I have communicated this with him on how it makes me uncomfortable but he doesn’t stop. Whenever I looked sexy or attractive he say I look pretty but would be off, I can tell he gets jealous but it’s not like I’ve given a reason to begin with. I took a photo that shows cleavage and it’s a bikini top (I have big breast) and I’m going to post it knowing he doesn’t like it. Mainly because if he thinks it’s appropriate to react to photos like that or of half naked women, it’s definitely appropriate for me to post, would I be the AH for posting the photo knowing how he might feel about?

I don’t know if this could give more context, we met back in 2019 but nothing happened, he reached out to me via FB due to a photo I posted that he thought I looked good in. We’ve been doing long distance since then and like a few months per year he would come to our home town and we would spend everyday together. He works in a different state and his job is very demanding, and besides the liking other women photos, he has never done anything to make me feel like I can’t trust him but I want to be petty to prove a point and yes I have met his family and I see them often.
