Would you give up all social media for your partner/SO? (Page 2)

[brkninpcs70]

Well being social media is quickly becoming the number one cause for divorce and split ups I say hell yes!

[Guanfei]

No, that's the sign of a person who want to isolate you, and probably an abusive person.

[MysteriousDarkness]

I would not since it is how I stay in contact with friends and family across the country. She would have to give up on it as well.

[Lliam]

No. Social media is where I get my new and information. Would someone go fuck themselves with a garden hose for their SO? Such SOs don't deserve to have partners.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So if social media was interfering in your relationship, you would choose social media over your partner?

[Lliam]

I don't understand how it would interfere with my relationship. What else would interfere with my relationship? The newspaper, friends, hobbies? When I hear this question, I keep wondering what kind of SO I'm dealing with. Will they allow me to have a life or are they possessive and controlling like a narcissist?

[Anonymous]

Problem with that. That's how my and my s. o. communicate to each other since we don't talk on the phone

[roland77]

Same here, she is in Africa while I'm here in Germany. By phone it is simply to expensive and bad quality. And we use #Linphone , which is encrypted.

[IdentetarianimSucks]

Id be getting something for practicaly nothing!

*Cries in corner*

[Nikola99]

No. what the hell would i do while taking a shit

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂😂

[Nikola99]

Its true what the hell would i do stare at the wall for 3 hours

[roland77]

You can find some other hobbies, than social media. :-)

[Nikola99]

What hobbie is there that you can do while sitting on a toilet.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Read a book lol

[roland77]

@Brainsbeforebeauty Yes, or concentrate on the actual thing.

[Nikola99]

You can't really stay concentrate on a single thing for 3 hours

[roland77]

Oh, being on toilet for 3 hours? And yes, I can do concentrate that long, maybe with some small breaks, for getting coffee/tea to my place but else, it is possible for me. :-) I program.

[Nikola99]

Yeah 3 and i dont go most of the time for 48 hours again

[FootballForever]

Yep I would, I don't use it that much anyway.

[the_imperfectionist]

I don't use social media much anyway, so yeah.

[EmbraceThePain]

I could, it depends

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It depends on what?

[EmbraceThePain]

We’d have to have a reasonable discussion about what she wants me to do and why she wants me to do it. We can come to some middle ground and work from there.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Good answer

[ThatGuy133]

I would to strengthen our relationship

[clampfan101]

Who else would I need? ;)

[broken_heart_at_48]

Yes in a heartbeat

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's sweet. I never personally had to deal with that cuz neither me nor my hubby was on any social media when he was alive. But the questions people ask on here or the stuff I see friends and people I know, I do agree that social media plays a part in ruining relationships

[Shamalien]

Gladly they would be doing me a favor

[__pelin__]

Yes because I don’t use too much

[Iamagoodguy]

No it's how I contact my friends

[JamesBlackDragon]

Already did unless you count this site

[FakeName123]

Jokes on you, I don't have social media.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Jokes on you.. you're on social media now lmao

[FakeName123]

A discussion forum isn't synonymous with social media - albeit there can be overlaps.
We are on a forum that has a feature for social media which I am not using. I don't have chatfriends or anything around here. I am just reading shared opinions and sharing my own perspectives.

[cheer_girl478]

Yes, I would give it up.

[Zorrak]

Of course

[QueenTanya]

yess

[Zilvro]

Yes i would no problem

[Walrus_au]

Bullshit. People's behavior ruins relationships,

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh that's true. But people's behavior on social media can also play a part.
True story: one of my sister's friends was on a dating app and got a response from another of their mutual friend's husband claiming to be single. And that ain't gonna ruin the relationship. Yeah, ok

[Walrus_au]

It's his behaviour, he'd be out there trawling in person instead.

[Walrus_au]

To your update, about a demand. I would see it as little different to demands to give up friends or a friends circle. A partner that starts demanding and controlling friends is a huge red flag, I'd be looking for the next exit.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Apparently you did not read or comprehend what you read... again..
Said this is not coming from a demand from your partner, but a self realization. I don't see how you are misunderstanding that🤷‍♀️

[Walrus_au]

Urrgh, way to early a wake up. You are right.

Hmmm - well I cast facebook too the wind when their information grabs became WAY too invasive. so on my own decision, sure

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I hear you on the way too early wake up lol
Drink some coffee lol 😊

[Walrus_au]

lol it's on my list... got an instant 1.5 year old who is throwing breakfast from... well from asshole to breakfast right now (the reason I dragged my ass out of bed this early)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol have fun with that😅

[Walrus_au]

yeah... lots of broom time.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lol Sunday fundaylol

[Walrus_au]

[BrianTG78]

Yes I gladly would

[jamiepagepro]

Yes I have done it

[lovedejj_xo]

Hard no for me go control some other girl

[CausticHippy]

Yes, but not if she was you.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's what, supposed to hurt my feelings lol.. and that's a good thing cuz I don't fuck with little immature boys

[CausticHippy]

You don't fuck with me either. Wire that down

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Grow up

[crazy8000]
