Why do some couples make such a big deal about their partner posting them on social media?

It really doesn’t prove anything and sometimes, if they’re cheating, not saying everyone who post their partner on their social media cheats, but those that do, then you’re gonna be embarrassed because now everyone’s DM’s he or she is or were in prior to posting you or even after posting you, knows they’re cheating on you.

Huh what are you even trying to say that if your partner doesn’t want their photo on social media it means they are cheating that is seriously some dumb shit how about the fact not everyone is into social media fuck I don’t want my photos of myself or any potential partner of mine posted online i like my privacy if my potential partner can’t respect that and I find out they have went and posted any images of us together online the relationship will be over and than because it will show they don’t respect me or my wishes

Ummm my post is literally not pro posting your partner on social media. My question was for those who make a big deal about their partner posting them. I don’t get the point of wanting to be posted. I started off this post saying being posted on your partners social media proves nothing and that if they are cheating on you now that they have posted you, everyone knows who it is they’re cheating on and I made sure to say I wasn’t saying every partner who post their partner is cheating but a scenario as to why you shouldn’t make a big deal about being posted on top of fact that it’s just social media. You confused yourself with what I was saying and misunderstood.

For me I don’t post anything until at least about a year in, then I would post one pic with my boyfriend to let my friends know that I’m dating him esp since a lot of my friends live abroad. I’d want him to post me once also to let others know that he’s dating but that’s it. I want to keep it private but not a secret. If he’s gonna cheat, he’s gonna cheat - doesn’t matter if he posts me or not and there’s nothing I can do to stop it if he wants to cheat so yeah

1. You have some growing up to do.
2. You need to be careful for legal reasons. Google "slander" and "libel".

It's just vanity. Most social media is vanity, people trying to impress strangers.
