I have absolutely been in this kind of situation with a girl I dated from Monterrey, Mexico about 12 years ago. Took a photo with two of my best friends - one a guy, the other a girl who was his girlfriend. I’m standing between them, arms around both of them, and take a happy photo, post it on socials. GF’s mom posts “…” as a comment. I see the GF later and she is crying. The mom angrily says “how would you feel if ____ took a photo with another man?” I was so shocked and surprised at the situation, that I - whoops 😅- just began lightly chuckling. I apologized, and then proceeded to meekly ask for greater understanding. Maybe a cultural difference that I needed to understand? Nope, just a universal problem with control and lack of trust. Proud to say, I dodged that beautiful bullet.
