You don't. That has to be something she wants to do and she clearly isn't in the head space for that. If you're unhappy in the relationship, just leave. Don't drag it out. You tried the ultimatum and no contact thing and it didn't work so I can't see why you'd want to stick around anymore.

Tell him that he either shuts up or you start reconsidering the relationship. You can't stay with someone who blatantly criticizes you without giving a shit about your feelings.

Yeah, I'd just move on. I know I probably forgot to delete some apps after being with my partner.

Hell, even after deleting them, I still get spam emails from those sites. It's annoying as fuck.

I wouldn't consider it a red flag just yet. My partner's uncle is the same way and I don't think he's being malicious.

Maybe she thinks you're really poor?

It would absolutely bother me less if my partner met a friend and said "you know what, not for me" because at least that shows that they made an effort to get to know the people close to me. They don't have to like my friends, so long as they can behave civilly if the occasion calls for it.

If you have some trauma behind certain behaviors, work on that with a therapist. Trying to avoid it instead of learning to deal with it doesn't make things any better.

The example of the friend behaving in a creepy manner doesn't really apply here. You're assuming that this person is going to do something based on your interactions with completely different people. If you want your boundaries to be known before hand, ask your partner to tell their friend in advance so it doesn't come up.

Actively avoiding a specific friend based off assumptions is going to cause a rift all the same. It just sounds like you have some hang ups about people who post more of their body online.

People don't behave like a hive mind. You've had some shit experiences but clearly your BF enjoys spending time with them so it's worth seeing what that is.

I'd be pretty peeved if my partner refused to meet up with a friend of mine based on assumptions.

I don't see how this impacts you in any way. You don't need to follow their social media and so long as you set some firm boundaries about physical touch with her, you should be fine.

You don't have to be best friends but I wouldn't go out of your way to avoid them because that's just going to make things even weirder.
