What does this mean?

My bf got a notification saying “1 person has sent you a post” or something like that on instagram. It happened earlier and I moved forward. Normally notifications will come up saying who it’s from right? Is this a normal notification? Asking because I have struggled to trust my bf for a while due to the things he’s done previously that I will never have an answer to. I’m trying to work through my issues but I did ask him to do couples therapy with me because although he says he doesn’t need it, he acts so wrongly sometimes towards me and our relationship also broke down and hasn’t fully healed yet. He’s convinced we don’t need anyone else “interfering” yet I’m not convinced we can both move through our issues. I know I need separate therapy anyway and I am on a waiting list. I don’t know how long it’ll be. Some of the things that he’s done and said have really betrayed my trust and they’ve happened recently. He’s not very open with things either like friendships or anyone he’s friends with at work and has hidden girl friendships from me. I keep doubting our years spent together, the level of trust I put into him and now I don’t feel like things are going to be right with us unless we seek professional help.

If there's previous betrayal or trust issues maybe you should both delete Instagram. My husband and I deleted it (we never had trust issues or anything like that, but being in a committed relationship, and not using it for like a small business or anything, we decided it was unnecessary and a waste of our attention and time.)

@Tiffany thank you but if I mentioned doing that he would say it’s controlling. We had an argument tonight and he’s instantly being defensive when I’m trying to explain my feelings and literally saying I know I need help but I can’t trust him right now and it’s okay if he doesn’t want to be with me. Then I question his phone habits that keep changing as of recent as well like he suddenly has started putting silent mode on and do not disturb mode on but on do not disturb apparently my texts go through and his parents and it makes sound however it won’t make sound on silent tho. So I don’t think he’s being honest about it. He used to put his phone on silent and just flip his phone over so it didn’t light up. It used to buzz as well in the night and apparently he’s never had it buzzing on silent mode because he’s never touched his settings. Which he very much has because I remember it used to buzz but it wouldn’t make a notification sound. I feel like he’s trying to make me out like

I’m being ridiculous but he can’t even respond when I ask for an explanation for his behaviour in general recently or the fact our sex life has suddenly increased and the fact he’s started doing new things I sex I didn’t even know he could do. I then end up feeling guilty and bad because I keep double guessing myself and thinking im a terrible person for even asking. I don’t know what to do but I cannot trust him right now

I think for sure, there’s other ways to keep on contact with friends. I only have Facebook for marketplace cus we use it enough and peanut. Imo someone in a relationship doesn’t need Instagram, twitter, Snapchat cus you’re a grown person in a committed relationship (if you’re that committed, you don’t care if you can’t see all the half naked posts that pop up or friends of friends to check on) if he’s defensive and won’t get rid of it for relationship trust building reasons, he’s not willing to be fully committed I’m sorry his actions and words are speaking volumes

Unless you have a business or literal reason. Guilty I never said my opinion to not come off controlling too, men gaslight, but it’s the truth you got phone numbers and ft 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Heidi thank you for responding and he says he has instagram because he follows WWE wrestlers on there. I have instagram and Facebook but I don’t actually use either of them, only do because some of my friends prefer messaging on there compared to texting and that’s a way for me to keep contact with those people but there’s nothing else for me to use it for. He is on Facebook a lot like all the time at home, constantly scrolling I’d say he is probably addicted to technology

He doesn't sound trustworthy, I wouldn't have kids with him.
