Dear Vee,
Wale and I started our relationship six months ago, and it’s been an emotional journey since then. When I first saved his contact and began following his social media, I quickly noticed a pattern that left me feeling uneasy.
Wale loves to showcase his world to his followers, and every week, like clockwork, he posts pictures of the people he cherishes most—his immediate family, his friends, his two exes, and even the daughter of one of these exes. It’s a bit of a story he tells through images. The daughter, by the way, is someone he says he embraced as his own because he was so in love with her mother. And then there are his clients, all part of his life as a fitness coach.
Despite the fact that Wale and I are currently dating, my face is noticeably absent from his weekly parade of cherished photos. I find this a little confusing because, while my picture isn’t among the ones he shares with his followers, he’s chosen my picture as his screen saver. This situation makes me wonder, should I be worried about my absence in his social media world?
I’m not one for posting on social media myself; I’ve never shared pictures of him, and I don’t plan to anytime soon. This makes the situation even more complicated. My friend thinks I should confront Wale about this, but I’m afraid. Is it really worth bringing up, or is it just a matter of different social media habits?
I’m a bit lost and need some advice. Should I just let this slide, or is it important to address this with Wale to clear the air and understand where I stand in his life?
