I know it's difficult to deal with their attitude changes. Have you talked to him about that or just this girl? That seems like it's the real issue.
Honestly if there was something more going on, he wouldn't be upset that you were upset, he would be upset and defensive and turn it around to make it seem like you are being paranoid. It seems like he really is concerned about your feelings and I think you should leave it up to him to talk to her and let her know it bothers you, and he'd appreciate it if she could tone it down with the comments, unless you already told him you are going to talk to her. Ultimately it comes down to the trust you have in your boyfriend, now that you've talked to him, you're the one who knows him best and you should know by the conversation whether you can belive him or not. Also, is he commenting back to her or on her posts? If he's not then he's not interested in.
I talked to him about it yesterday and he was upset that I was so upset. That made me mad. He said that they talk a little bit at work. Next time she says something on his facebook that she really doesn't need to, I'm going to have a chit chat with her. He said to me "She lives with her boyfriend here." Like that really matters to some chicks... I think as soon as he comes home, all of my suspisions will be put to rest. Too bad he's not coming home until New Years
:-P
I felt like that right after he was out of bootcamp. It depends on the contexts of the post, are they flirty? is he flirting in return? are they close friends? is she random? have you asked him about her?
I guess my advice would be findout from him if they are close friends. If he is flirting you think, ask him about it. If she's the only problem, tell him that. Tell him that all of her posts are bothering you and ask him to ask her to calm the posts, or ask her yourself in a respectful manor, but ask her to calm them down. If it's just her constantly posting and he doesn't want her to, i'd simply as him to block or unfriend her. A few girls were like that on my boyfriends facebook for awhile, and I asked him if they were close friends, if not, then to delete them, or ask them to stop. If they were close friends i'd ask him to just tell them to chill a bit, that I dont mind them talking, just maybe not THAT often. As long as you're confronting the problems to him, and not behind his back, i dont see why he would mind at all. facebook is usually bullcrap, usually people dont know half of their friends on there anyways. id just remember he loves YOU, NOT her. Shes either a good friend who is messing around, a good friend who likes, but could NEVER have him, or some creep who just comments likes and posts on everything. Just try to remain calm, tell him your concerns and ask that yall find a common ground to resolve them. But like a said, I wouldnt stress unless HE himself gives you a legitimate reason to. I'm sure its no big deal:)
