My boyfriend doesn't want me to use our picture as my Facebook profile picture?

Question - (14 March 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 14 March 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My LDR boyfriend told me today that he didn't like me putting a picture of us as my Facebook profile picture online.

After he added me he told me that he had all kinds of people, good friends and almost strangers, on Facebook and he didn't want to share his personal life with the rest of the world. That's why he didn't want to do the "In a relationship with XX" thing, he also didn't have any pictures or personal information there. I didn't mind as I didn't use FB very much anyways.

But he has a couple of his exes as his friends there and I told him it's weird and he should delete them, he said he's not doing anything with them. I know if he wants to contact them, he'd do it, from FB or not. So I let it go. But today I was pissed as I believe I get to decide what pictures I post on MY page. He explained that he didn't want to expose his personal life there to the world and he really didn't like this idea.

I told him I could be considerate for him, if he's doing the same for me. I said if he'd like to delete those girls, I'd change a picture. He said we'd talk about it tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, I think again and wonder if I'm over-reacting on this. Is his request reasonable? He never made any request like this before and he said "Don't take this personal, I don't want anyone posting pictures of me online."
