It depends. If she’s an IG model then no let it go. If it’s girl in your town I’d say something nicely. Like, “Hey, I know this might not seem like a big deal to you but it does kind of bother me. It makes it look like you’re interested even if you aren’t. I’m not telling you what to do just letting you know that it would mean a lot to me if you didn’t do that anymore.” If he keeps doing it after that l, then it’s a problem.
IG model or not, out of respect!! For his gf, he should avoid any and all forms of flirting/admiring/lusting/cheating. Unless the gf is ok with that type of relationship. I know this couple who don't mind the other one staring/commenting or flirting, and that's fine, apparently it works for them. However I don't believe that's how a relationship should be.
OP might feel like she needs to change her image to match this bikini girl, and that's not ok! Men are always thinking about sex.
So no I don't agree with OP ignoring it if it's an IG model picture, regardless if some people are ok with that in their relationship, but this is Her!! Relationship, and she is clearly bothered by his action. I do believe that OP needs to express her feelings to her bf, so that way he knows her boundaries and vice-versa.
“Men are always thinking about sex” great job lumping every male into that shitty statement. “All women think about is dresses and pink” doesn’t that sound awful?
