Do you hate it when couples brag about how great their relationship is?

I'm sorry, but I would laugh at some of them. Not all couples on social media are having a good relationship. It's just a photo of millisecond of a moment which yeah can be real. I love to see people actually love each other.

However, sometimes if you look closely enough, not both in the couple are merry. Most are tagged photos without their partner's consent. I recall one. It's a tagged photo of a couple by the female. In the photo, the male was playing his game on the phone ignoring his partner. Is that look healthy?

Plus, there are psychological studies of how most insecure/ low self-esteem people would post their photos related to their relationship more often.
(These are articles mentioning of some studies.)

Personally, I have recieved messages from married men, flirting with me whose their profile pic was a seemingly happy family photo. It's just a tip of an iceburg.

No I actually think it's funny because no relationship is perfect and the ones pretending theirs is are just looking for validation because most of the time they're insecure in that relationship. Couples that go through their relationship without having to throw it in others faces i. e on social media etc are usually the strongest most secure ones.

Yeah I have auto agree tbh. I know there is this girl who’s constantly in a relationship and so shares photos with her each boyfriend. Some very cringey like when she’s kissing him on the cheek or bikini photos. But they usually just break up and she gets a new guy. I actually talked to someone about this and they said it’s a sign of insecurity.
Another example is a girl who’s only fucking a guy and says that they “get along really well” I never thought you would brag about hook ups too

[Gisellemadeit]

@Unicorns_exist I’d disagree. I’m one of those people, who talk about their relationship in a positive way. I don’t “brag”, but don’t see the need to point out any “flaws” to anyone.

[Unicorns_exist]

@Gisellemadeit I’m not saying point out the flaws though I just find it extra for people to boast about their relationship as if it’s some kind of accomplishment. Just say you guys are getting along but don’t flood social media with cringey posts about your love life

[Gisellemadeit]

@Unicorns_exist I don’t post anything about my love life, but when asked how things are, I will talk about the positives and it may come across as “bragging”, but I don’t apologise for it.

[CallMeDave]

It can be a little annoying if it goes too far, but it doesn't really bother me that much. In fact, it actually makes me concerned about the two of them because I've seen quite a few cases of couples doing that and then breaking up. I suspect that in a lot of cases, that "bragging" is actually trying to cover up problems they're having in the relationship and/or trying to convince themselves or each other that things are better than they actually are.

I think it's nice when couples appreciate each other and occasionally express that publicly, but when it becomes too frequent or too extreme, I start suspecting that things are really not anywhere near as good in the relationship as they're making it sound.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Nah i see through the facade. Any couple who needs to prove themselves to other people have some messed up shit going on behind closed doors

[Desconhecida]

No. Because if they need to brag about it, the relationship is not that great.

[Unicorns_exist]

Also sounds kind of conceited. It’s like me saying I have a good body and a pretty face for no reason. Which is not false but I won’t go around saying that

[Desconhecida]

LOL 😂😂

[nella965]

I think it’s obnoxious and a sign there’s something weird about the relationship

and here’s a message to the couples that post about this stuff on social media :

8.5 out of 10 times , people are annoyed by you and really don’t care. It just makes them wonder what is wrong with the both of you to think that everyone would care.

And your friends who pretend to like your post and tell you all the lip service praises that you wanna hear? They are only doing it because they is a duty expected out of “friends “. Seriously , stop. It just annoys other people.

[GlitterFairy16]

No, sometimes it's lovely to hear about two people who are in love and happy. In a world full of hate and disfunctional relationships its really heart warming to hear. Its annoying when people post it om social media constantly and cringey af. No one on social media cares about your relationship and its as if you are over compensating and trying to convince people your in a happy relationship.

[menina]

Yes, it's kinda annoying. And most of the times their relationship isn't that amazing, they just want to make people think that they're happy. Make others jealous and pretend that everything is ok.
In fact, they might be unhappy and feeling miserable. They just stick together for some reason.

[Eggplant29]

It's okay to talk about it but not to brag.

Also a relationship is never static and takes a lot of work. Bragging about it like it's something you 'own' betrays the vital work that needs to be put into it.

As a single person it smarts too.

[DanaeAdam5]

I find it both annoying and funny.

Annoying cause... yeah good for you guys but no one really cares 🤣
And funny because if you feel the need to brag about your relationship then there is a 99% chance that you are lying.

[BlueScorpio]

Maybe if it's every 5 mins then, yeah.. but other than that I like hearing people talking about how in love they are with someone that makes them happy.

[BCA6010]

Hate is a strong word, but I do see it as looking for attention.

I also find it amusing when people put all this crap about "soul mate" or "love of my life" and "happiest I've ever been" and yet not a month later they're saying the same sh*t about someone completely different.

[Cherokeehp]

No, cause I typically assume they’re just lying or only showing off the good parts. People constantly tell my boyfriend and I that we’re a perfect match and that we’re “couples goals”. But the truth is no matter how great we seem, we still have stupid giant arguments, and shouting matches, and all that stuff. Behind closed doors all great relationships have their fucked up moments. It’s cute that they wanna brag and talk about their relationships, but relationships are nitty-gritty and messy.

[DizzyDesii]

Nahh. Some people search forever. So once they get it, they deserve it

[pandabearr]

I used to want to post about pictures of my relationships with boyfriends before but it was more because I was insecure. The relationship wasn’t great and I wanted to seek validation and prove that it was great. It does annoy me sometimes when couples overdo it like everyday.

[Daniela1982]

Yeah, kind of like the same questions asked on GaG every day.

[Daniela1982]

Sure they do, until they get home and fight over who gets to use the bathroom first and she uses his toothbrush to clean the rim because he had poor aim. Let Round 1 commence!

[Kimgary]

There’s nothing to hate, if you feel they are saying it to make you feel bad, it’s best you just space yourself away from around them, but don’t carry the weight of hate

[Anonymous]

No it’s refreshing to know that love still exists. I have had terrible experiences but when I see couples who are really in love it makes me hope that I can get the real deal too. Something solid and real. It makes me a little jealous too, I won’t lie. But it’s not bad to hear about other people’s love lives. I would rather it make me a little jealous than to feel like love isn’t real

[Petra150]

No, I really want to feel really hypocritical. since i love my amazing and beautiful beloved guy whom i have to marry after enjoying over 10 years with him and our two wonderful girls

[Shuri]

I used to but that was because I was bitter that I couldn't find a good man lol. It's almost been 10 months with my love, and we're discussing getting engaged within the year now, so I'm not upset about it anymore lol

[AdithyaR]

I wouldn't know cause I wasn't listening to them in the first place.
I only pay attention if people talk about anything actually useful and worth listening to.

[CubsterShura]

It can be nice and wholesome if it's done the right way. Otherwise yeah it's annoying.

[Kaneki05]

yeah annoying and they be lying or really insecure.

[CasaNorba]

not at all on the contrary I am thankful that I'm not them
