Did you always act like everything was ok in your relationship publicly and on social media even if it wasn't?

I know this woman who has been in a long-term relationship with my narcissistic ex. Based on her social media she appears very happy and dotes on my narcissistic ex. However, my narcissistic ex has made repeated attempts over months/years to get back with me... all be it just for sex. I strongly believe he has other women in his life. I say this because one reason I left him was because he gave me hsv1 and high risk hpv.

On social media she brags about their love and all the wonderful things he does for her. I once in effort to get my narcissistic ex to leave me alone, told her about his behavior. Weirdly, she denied even being in a relationship with him. Yet, she just posted another family photo with him in it. On social media refers to him as the love of her life. He doesn't post her as directly or often as she does.

I only look at their social media because my narcissistic ex continues to pursue me. In the process, it has caused me to wonder if some victims of narcissistic abuse act like everything ok publicly or even people in regular bad relationships? Is it likely because they don't want to be embrassed or the abuse or toxicity of the relationship has a hold on the person?
