Well, it\u2019s more than that, but here\u2019s the rundown. Prom was two saturdays ago and I went with my boyfriend. We obviously took prom pictures and I thought they looked pretty nice. After the fact of prom, I posted some and I thought he would too. I know it kind of sounds like I do, but I don\u2019t put a whole lot of stock into social media for validation and I don\u2019t really care about those things, but for some reason it bothered me that he said he didn\u2019t want to post anything. I told him it was no big deal and it was fine because I didn\u2019t want him to think I cared about outside validation or that I thought he didn\u2019t appreciate me, i just didn\u2019t know why he wouldn\u2019t want to because we had a great time and I thought we both looked exceptionally nice. To make it even worse, I had a friend ask me about it and when I said he didn\u2019t his response was just \u201coh\u2026\u201d and when I talked about it he assured me I wasn\u2019t the only one who felt this way. I also talked to a mutual friend about it and she agreed with me and said she would text him, but I laughed it off because I thought she was joking. Apparently she did text him and now my boyfriend is asking if I\u2019m mad at him and that our friend texting him annoyed him because he thought it wasn\u2019t a big deal and we already talked about it. And it\u2019s not so much the posting, I feel it\u2019s more of me wanting him to want to. Idk, am I the asshole here or what should I do? Is it dumb of me to want that, because if so I\u2019d rather be self aware and find a way to mature and get over ut", "user": "sillygoose" }, { "id": "1219194", "time": "1652112710", "html": "It's not dumb of you to want that.
