AITA for confronting my wife about a coworker still liking her posts after she blocked him?
After my wife’s past kiss with a coworker, I noticed he was still liking posts on a second account of hers even after she said she blocked him. When I asked why, she got defensive, and now I’m left wondering if I’m overreacting or if she crossed a line.
My wife cheated on me about a year ago with a coworker, and although she blocked him on her main account, he was still liking posts on a new book review account she created. I asked her to block him there too; after some delay and excuses about the account being public, she finally said she blocked him. But I noticed his likes persisted on that account, so I tested with a friend and found likes disappear when you block someone. When I asked her why his likes were still visible, she got defensive, and now I’m unsure if she told him to unfollow me or if it’s a glitch.
The backstory: about 12 to 18 months ago, my wife kissed a coworker. She's blocked him on her regular social media accounts, but created a separate book review account connected with her Kindle reading. That same coworker followed her there and liked several posts. I felt uneasy about this and asked her multiple times to block him on that account too. Initially, she said the account was public and anyone could follow, so she didn’t want to block him.
"She said it was a public account so anybody can follow her."
After weeks of back-and-forth, she finally said last night that she blocked him on the new account. I tried to trust her, but later wondered why his likes were still visible. I ran a quick experiment with a friend and found that blocking someone removes their likes, but his likes were still there on her account.
"The likes still being there made me question whether she actually blocked him."
When I brought up the discrepancy, she reacted defensively, and now I’m not sure if she told him to unfollow me or if this is a glitch on the platform. The whole situation is making me question trust and feel anxious about boundaries in our relationship.
🏠 The Aftermath
Presently, the tension over the coworker following and liking posts on the second account continues to weigh heavily on me. My trust feels shaken even though she claims to have blocked him.
The defensive response from my wife when confronted has made open communication difficult. I’m left uncertain whether this is a technical issue or if there’s more going on behind the scenes.
Our unresolved feelings around boundaries and past incidents are creating a strain that impacts both of us and our ability to move forward.
"When I brought it up, she got defensive, and now I don't know what to believe."
I want reassurance and clarity, but the mixed signals only deepen my insecurity.
