Okay. I agree with that. I also agree with the people who say it’s rude to tag people without their permission, and weird to tag a photo from that long ago, especially of an ex.
I would really, really hope that just about any spouse would readily understand that what we think is love at 23 (and I first got married at that age, so I know whereof I speak) isn’t necessarily how we would define it later in life. If the rest of that caption DIDN’T make everything hunky dory, then I think she may be suffering from some serious insecurity issues.
Sure, if she discovered it on her own. But he was actively still tagging his pictures of her, which was bringing it to her attention, which could enhance the feelings of insecurity. Plus, have you not been reading the earlier threads? This is not a secure and happy relationship…
But my point was (and I guess I’m doing a poor job explaining it)- if she was bothered by the picture to begin with, the rest of the caption probably wasn’t going to help.
Maybe the new wife is also 23…
I’ll pit my smartphone, but not for the reason given in the OP. My phone started telling me that there was a large update to download, but that it didn’t have enough available storage and I should delete some stuff. Well, there were some pictures on there that I didn’t want to lose, so I connected it to my desktop so I could copy the pictures and free up some space.
So where the hell are they? I opened File Explorer, started looking through the directories on the phone, and couldn’t find some of them. I could view about a dozen pictures on the phone, found the .jpg files for three of them, and the rest were nowhere to be found.
While the phone was connected to the desktop, apparently that allowed it to use the disk space on the desktop to download and install the update. It includes apps that I don’t need and didn’t ask for.
Every time computers try to predict what I want, and to do things automatically, and to make it easy, they fuck it up.
Sounds like Dan’s problem, not yours.
Problems with smartphones? How ood…
Once again Facebook is ruining lives. When are you people going to realize the evils of Facebook? When it comes to Facebook just don’t even.
Until Dan ends up living on his living room couch.
Nah, Dan had it handled if only I didn’t alert his wife.
Regardless, netiquette isn’t slang for “things you shouldn’t do in case your friend has been constructing a house of lies for his wife”.
Well, if I ran into Dan at the travel agency where he was booking a huge surprise trip that he wanted to surprise his wife with, and I checked in and mentioned Dan was with me without vetting it with him, . . . . .
Nope, it was the caption I wrote when I originally posted the photo, more than a year ago.
And, yeah, I guess my main complaint should be against Facebook, particularly the way my attempt to edit the photo/post caused it to instantly send an alert that I had just “posted” a new photo. That’s what my wife’s phone said: “MisterRik has just posted a new photo”.
I think your “main complaint” should be about doing something stupid and then blaming technology for it.
It’s only stupid if you care more about your wife than an old girlfriend. :~}
Seriously, I don’t have ANY pics of old girlfriends on my computer or phone (OR on a secret hard drive named “Boring Spreadsheets For Last Place I Worked” so don’t even bother looking at that…)
If I did, and if I was editing one of those photos, I think my wife would have reason to get upset. Because (in my case at least) it’d be because I was unsatisfied and wondering if things would’ve been better on the path not taken.
Was this the one who hit on you when you were spending 8 years in the homeless shelter?
I could see posting an old pic, maybe. My wife scanned in her 8th grade date to some dance before. But captioning it and tagging someone from 27 years ago?
I think this is the uber hot cheerleader who’s the reason he’s only attracted to teenagers now.
Ha! Ha! You use facebook.
this is called emotional cheating and that’s just as bad as regular cheating.
