My Girlfriend’s Mom Blocked Me on Instagram
Short story
I’d always heard about people with bad experiences with their in-laws. But I knew mine would be different. I’m a good guy. Everyone loves me. And I love everyone. So, in-laws, those should be easy. Not only would it be easy. It was something I was looking forward to. A wiser, older couple to learn from and be mentored by.
My girlfriend and I were sitting on the couch and scrolling through our Instagram accounts.
She asked me innocently, “Did my mom see your story?”
I checked the viewers of my story and responded, “Nah, she didn’t.”
Then I clicked on her mom’s page.
I was confused.
There was nothing there. I couldn’t see her page. Something must be messed up…
And then it hit me.
She blocked me. My girlfriend’s mom had blocked me on Instagram.
But why?
I’m a good guy. I treat her daughter with respect. I love the whole family. So my girlfriend had to do some digging to find out what had happened.
Turns out, I had liked one of her mom’s pictures too quickly on Instagram.
I guess I learned a good lesson. It doesn’t matter how good of a guy you are or how much you love someone’s daughter, they’re always going to find something. Next time I’m on Instagram, I’ll pause a bit before I hit the double-tap. Lesson learned!
