I'm kind of disgusted and mad that my girlfriend has a picture of a half naked guy... with a puppy on her phone...

The thing is, I see her on the phone all the time. It annoys me and I said something and she was like well you had a girl on your phone so now were even.. and I did, but that was when I started talking to her and we werent dating a year ago!

So im not sure what to do.

I have really bad trust problems to and have had some rough stuff in the past sooooo a picture of another guy..doesn't really help...

What should I do? it really bothers me now..

Ciar agony auntAs the others have said if it's a celebrity or an anonymous model then it has no real significance to her. If it's an ex or someone she knows then it's poor judgment on her part to have it as a background.

Do you watch porn? And if so what does your girlfriend think about it? And if she objected to it would you stop watching it?

If it's her ex, it would be of significance. If not, it's like you having a poster of a supermodel in the bedroom.

If it's a celeb or a random picture of no one she knows then I would say it is not a big deal to concern yourself. I know married women who have shirtless or even more exposed pictures of men on their phones as backgrounds. Married men that have the same with women photos.

Some are interested in that kind of thing being their backgrounds. But I do say, even if your body is not like what is in the photo- you do NOT need to be concerned.

She obviously isnt trying to hide it from you- that should be a good sign.

She didn't like you having the phone of a womnan on your phone, and she is basically 'paying you back'. Tell her that you are sorry if the picture on your phone hurt her, you didn't realize that it did, and you can see now that it would have been a bit hurtful. Tell her you don't like her having another man's body on her phone, it doesn't give you a good feeling. Tell her if you ever do anything it makes her feel uncomfortable, to just tell you and that you will put it right (within reason of course). Otherwise, you will just have to see it for what it is... a bit of fun, and let it go.

Honeypie agony auntIs he a celebrity or an ex bf?

If he is the first, it's not really a big deal. If it's the latter, I'd not be OK with it.

What YOU have on YOUR phone is up to you, what she has on hers.. up to her. There is no accounting for taste.

I think the more you stress that you don't like the more "fun" she actually think it is. I would ignore it (unless it's an ex).

It's kind of immature of her, but have seen it a lot with your age group.
