Wife Is Not Happy About How Her Husband Uses Instagram: ‘Do Men Ever Grow Up’

A woman on the U.K. forum Mumsnet shared her frustration after discovering her husband scrolling through Instagram posts of women in revealing outfits — and then attempting to cover it up.

She explained that her husband was browsing his feed when “a girl posing in her gym clothes to show off her bum” appeared on the screen. When she asked who the woman was, he initially claimed it was “just an advert,” then shifted to saying the woman was “a wrestler.”

Curious, the wife checked the account. She said most of the posts featured the woman in swimwear or underwear, with very little content related to wrestling.

The wife admitted this wasn’t the first time they had conflict over his interest in Instagram models.

Feeling unsure whether her reaction was fair, she turned to the community and asked, “Do men ever grow up?”

Responses were mixed.

One commenter questioned the husband’s behavior, asking, “Does he not understand marriage vows?”

Another reader took the opposite view, saying they would find it controlling if a partner monitored their social media viewing habits. They added that it’s unrealistic to expect adults to never appreciate attractive people online.
