Asking Eric: My Husband Keeps Posting Unflattering Photos of Me Social Media

The advice columnist says the wife should ask him to keep her photos private because his public feed reaches a large audience.

  • A wife known as Photo Shy is married to a man with a large social media following who frequently posts unflattering photos of her online. She finds the habit daunting, as he believes his photos are perfect after just one take.
  • Because of his former career, the husband maintains a large audience and rarely reviews photos before sharing them. He holds a different standard for image quality than his wife, often disregarding her discomfort regarding his posts.
  • When she objects to the "extremely unflattering" images, he removes them begrudgingly. She struggles with him posting these photos without considering her preference, creating ongoing tension in their marriage.
  • Advice columnist Eric Thomas suggests she ask him to stop posting pictures of her on social media entirely. This avoids debating "what is a good photo," which could distract from the core issue.
  • Thomas notes that since the husband's platform acts as a professional space, it requires a different standard than a private diary. Establishing these boundaries helps protect Photo Shy's privacy while managing his public-facing content.
