We've been dating for like 2 years now and he won't let me follow him on Instagram, doesn't use WhatsApp with me, and gets weird when I ask about it. I feel insecure thinking he's hiding something. Is this something to worry about or am I being controlling?
Two years is more than enough time for basic transparency in a relationship, so your insecurity makes sense. The thing is, he gets weird instead of just explaining, and that's more suspicious than the privacy itself - there are people who genuinely like keeping their social media separate from their personal life, but then they talk openly about it. Maybe you could have a conversation when things are calm, without accusations, so he can explain what his problem with it is. If he keeps dodging or getting defensive, then yeah, you have reason to worry, because a relationship needs to have mutual trust and communication, not secrets that leave you feeling excluded.
