Why does she hide our relationship on social media?

Question

Been with my girlfriend for a year now. And I'm finding myself wondering why she's hides our relationship on Facebook, only a select few can see we are in a relationship. There is no photos of me on hers, she uploaded one of us to instal last year but that it? We do loads together. I don't upload loads of pics but my dps are of us. I wouldn't normally care but I feel like she's hiding out relationship from people. All her close friends and family know about us and I have met them all loads of time. Should I be worried? How should I approach asking her about this? Last time I asked her she said it's only social media, there's no need to worried about it.

I have 2 answers for you. You have to decide if the second applies to you.
1: Don't be bother too much about how your relationship looks like on social media. It's a fake place that you shouldn't pay attention to.
2 : She is leaving her options open, because she is looking for someone better, which would mean that she thinks that you are not the best she can get and that you are lack in some area for her. In which case you can't really stop her, only end the relationship if you think that she is in fact looking for someone else. Women get to trade up in their 20s, men get to trade up in their 30s, that's just the sexual attractiveness market.

I'd advise you to wait untill you are in you prime (35) untill you settle down with someone, because it's then that you will have the best women you can get, available to you.

Well she's lying - a coverup as to WHY but I've noticed many types similar - they are just not as detailed and proactive as we are, e. g. the "whys" they are negligent

lazy
still shopping for a best/better SO!
independant - look at me, don't be distracted by link to my SO
too private to share much
tells you whatever you want to hear for smooth sailing
opposites attract = you may post proudly, she does not

Pal, you might want to list ALL the peeves this gal gives you, then decide the pro/cons of shopping for a better match, less disappointing, more enthusiastic

I have no pictures of my boyfriend on social media, because I find it really impersonal. It makes it seem like you are showing off the "hey look at us everybody, we're so in love and happy together, aren't we a good couple? Please validate are relationship."  Because a person doesn't feel the need to show on social media their love for their "bae" regularly, does not mean they don't care and are not committed.

I'm like that. I like my profile picture to show only me. I also think it's kinda stupid when couples post a profile picture together.
I love my boyfriend, but I am my own person.

Also I see my relationship as my personal thing. I don't need people to validate my relationship.

My husband hates Facebook, I appear single for those that don't know us because he doesn't want to be on it or associated... ask her about the status if it is bothering you... talk, open honest talk, best of luck

teyanna · Answer

You do not need to worry, if she is with you then she really likes you. My take is that this kind of girl loves her space and she will bring you in one bit at a time. If you have met her family and all then you can capitalize on that and make the best out of your relationship.

If I were you I wouldn't get too hung up on this. I've been with my boyfriend for 7 months now and we haven't put up anything on social media. Everyone who needs to know about us knows about us so there's really no need to broadcast it to everyone else.
If all her close friends and family know then that's the important thing. Don't get hung up on the rest.

I think your over thinking it... it's only social media.. who cares! For the record none of my friends have their status's up on facebook and they are all married... no one is trying to hide anything it just doesn't matter ot a lot of people. I never fill out any of that crap on social media sites and I am married.

Honestly, she sounds like me. I'm an incredibly private person and still have my relationship info hidden on fb with my boyfriend of 3 years. It could just be her personality. If you're suspicious of her possibly cheating or something, you can simply innocently ask why there aren't cute photos of you guys on her fb, and judge from her response.

Sir, you need to start asking her questions cause this would upset me too knowing a girl won't upload pictures of us together on social media it's like
she has something to hide and you deserve a explanation and unless you
communicate there won't be nothing for you to find out what is going on.

Talk to her about it first, maybe it just wasn't a big deal for her. But if she still doesn't want to change it then there is probably something fishy going on.

Why don't you ask her? I never announced my relationship status on social media. It's know ones business on social media. Your social circle will already know. Social media is just advertising.

Theodorable · Answer

Ask her? Girls like when you ask them questions like that? "What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What are you up to?" -- Girls like it when you ask.

GingerGuy · Answer

Just a private person. Nobody's business and doesn't feel the need to broadcast it. I'm the same way. Do not take it personally.

Mesonfielde · Answer

It's because exposing information to random people on the Internet makes you vulnerable.

Maybe she doesn't want people at work to know all about her life, lot of people like that

she is ashamed of you or her parents might not allow it

Sojex · Answer

You're reading too much into it. She's introduced you to her friends and family so she's clearly not hiding you. Like she said, it's just social media
