Here's the 4-part framework to guide you through this confusing situation. In this special solo episode of HOMETRUTH, Louise delves into the common issue of partners liking other people's Instagram photos, unraveling whether it's a them problem or a you problem.

Learn how to navigate this dilemma with confidence and clarity. Louise takes you through the following steps:

Step 1: Character Assessment: Determine if they are a respectful king or queen, a red flagger, or a previous offender by examining their past behavior and intentions behind their Instagram activity.

Step 2: Assess The Activity. Consider the nature of the content being engaged with on Instagram, including its harmlessness, relation to romance, and the individuals involved.

Step 3: Assess The Impact On You. Reflect on the emotions triggered by their behavior, such as feelings of abandonment, rejection, or insecurity. Understanding your own feelings helps differentiate between a you problem and a them problem.

Step 4: Communication is crucial. Louise provides guidance on initiating conversations tailored to the identified categories: respectful king/queen, red flagger, or repeat offender.

Join Louise as we explore this complex issue, gain a deeper understanding of your relationship dynamics, and uncover whether it's a you problem or a them problem.
