What does it mean if your partner doesn't post you on social media?

[gayesblog]

Is it a red flag if your partner doesn't post you on social media? I mean, what does it mean if your partner does not post pictures of him/her and you on social media? Do you think this behavior makes any sense? What do you think about partners sharing posts together on social media?

[OlderAndWiser]

I think that people your age and younger place far too much emphasis on social media, interpreting how quickly a partner responds to DM's, and other things that are really irrelevant to the way someone actually feels about you.

Yeah, there are potential reasons - bad reasons - why a partner might not post, but maybe they are just a private person and don't feel like putting their personal business on the internet. I have a FB account, I;m engaged, and I don't even know if I changed my status on FB. I don't think l posted any pictures of my fiancée. What does it mean? It means I don't care much abiout FB. My friends ALL know that I'm engaged.

This is one reason why social media needs to disappear because people read too much into their partner's not posting them on social media as a red flag, and then they end up allowing that crap to contribute to destroying what could be a perfectly good relationship.

It's not a red flag if someone doesn't post about you on social media. I know people who have been together for years, and some of them are married, but they don't post about their relationship or post photos of each other because they don't feel the need to brag about one another. My cousin doesn't post photos of her partner, whom she is engaged to, on social media because of her ex, with whom she has had issues that resulted in her having to call the police. I never posted any photos of me and my now-ex online either, despite us being together for over 7 years, because I respected his privacy and the fact he himself never understood social media.

Many reasons why people don’t post their love life on social media

• They like to be on the DL
• They value their privacy and take it seriously
• They don’t feel the need to broadcast their life to everyone
• They are living a double life
• They don’t want anyone to know about you (they might be married/with someone else and you’re the side chick)
• They don’t have a social media
• They think you’re not in a relationship yet so they don’t make the announcement until confirmed
• They’re faking it/making it up so there’s no single evidence of a relationship to be true

[NathanDavis]

I would rather they don't... lol

but I do not use social media myself... nor my exes did it that much

personally, I would not give it any significance or meaning myself... if I wondered about this or felt in certain way about it, then I would ask her as to why she doesn't...

[AviatorTom]

It doesn't mean anything. You see your partner every day and hopefully regularly communicate. You don't need social media to do that.

[Mamaliv]

Don’t over think it. How long have you two been together? Everyone treats social media differently, you have those people who share absolutely everything, those who only share the good happy things, those who only share memes, that most likely have nothing to do with their reality they’re just entertained by it, or the people who only pop on maybe once a week and you never know they were there. Now if he is one of those people who over shares and you two have been dating for a year and he doesn’t share anything about you, I’d maybe be a little concerned. Personally I wanna puke when I see couples going on about how in love they are, I feel like those are the people that have something to hide.

[BCRanger10]

It doesn't mean anything. It just means that your partner thinks your relationship is your own business between the two of you. If you want to post occasional photos of a date, or even an engagement or wedding, that's fine. But I'm not so full of myself or so insecure that I need everyone on my or my wife's friends list to know how awesome I am.

So I’d think it’s a little weird especially if I know the guy has posted pictures of his past relationships before. I know the guy I like he has his profile with a now ex girlfriend but I haven’t seen one since 16-17. I don’t remember the year exactly. Most people have pictures of them and their significant other as their profile pictures. He doesn’t. So it makes me think that he doesn’t have a girlfriend and that I do have a chance as it seems like he’s interested, but texting is another thing. Bad texter but really interested in person. Shit I still have pictures of my ex boyfriend on my Instagram and he does with mine on his. Are we talking? No. Does he have a girlfriend. Yes and they have been dating for almost 3 years. But I wouldn’t post about my boyfriend right away. I’d give it a couple months to get out of the honeymoon phase and then I’d do it.

Well, the person might be private about your relationship. Everything doesn't need to be blasted on social media.

But, on the other hand, the person might be HIDING having a relationship with you.

You need to ask them and find out.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I personally think it's about what a person wants to show their relationship. Some don't mind posting online and others don't because they like keeping it more private & personal. I'll take selfies with my friends and they'll post it, but I don't because I don't feel the need to. Pictures are precious enough, I don't need comments or likes on it.

[Alli39]

Really depends on the person. They might just be private, reserve their socials for certain aspects of their life, not post a lot. But it's also possible that they're not ready to go broadly public (or technically, yes he could be hiding you). I'd say as long as he's not being secretive around his friends or yours, or really just in general, then everything's probably fine.

[Fireguy17]

Possibly a couple reasons, he likes to keep his private life private, or he just doesn't feel the need to post everything on social media.

This is just a thought, why don't you ask him that question, face to face?

[Yannishka]

Nothing. It could mean that he hides you, worst case scenario, sure. But I am not big on posting pictures because I am not on social media a lot that forces me to look at posts I don't care about. My reason for not posting isn't a red flag.

[Luopio27]

Im not on social media except GaG.
If I was in a relationship, I wouldn't care less if my girlfriend wouldn't post anything about me or us.


Maybe this is because Im not a fan of social media.

[Anemone978]

I never post my husband on my socials it don't mean anything... I wouldn't post any of my mans on socials so that someone I know can try and steal him lol

[TacosRAwesome]

Personally I'm not that bothered by it. My ex used to post a lot and I have way too many pictures where I look like an ass but can't hide because they're from his end. So unless I'm looking good I don't want to post pics on social media.

[Wonderingguyy]

It means he doesn’t feel insecure in your relationship and he doesn’t feel the need to prove you guys are amazing to shallow people on the internet

[sheikalana]

Doesn't mean anything. I've never posted my partner on social media. My relationship is too precious for me to be exposing it for likes or other people's entertainment.

[Reem12345reem]

i like keeping it prvt , and i see it as a green flag but it CAN be a red flag based on their intention of it to cheat and don't let other girls know that he's in a rltp

[BoopBoopBeep]

I don't post myself on social media why would I post her?

[spartan55]

It's a red 🚩flag that you think posting on social has so much importance.

[BigDog1989]

Do you believe they're your partner?

I like a girl who doesn't post me, but, I know we're not' together", so, that's likely why she doesn't. To be fair, she hardly posts anyway

[Lokiion]

It means nothing I don’t post myself on social media so why would I post you? No reason to put my business out on the internet knowing it’s never going away now.

[jshm2]

It means nothing.

Social media isn't important.

[Nick1976G]

I would love to be able to post about my girlfriend on my feed, but she doesn't want me to... so I follow her request.

[Kkoalalita]

Nope.. I don’t really care for my partner posting me and I’m not so big on posting them either

[msc545]

If you are worried about something this trivial you are really not very bright.

[In_Trance]

Doesn't mean anything

[Anonymous]

it means they don't care about you. face the facts.

[Jayj_ay]

Why the fuck everything today now is considered a red flag 🤔

Ngl I'm afraid to breath in a certain way, they be like ew look how he breaths its a red flag.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

To me it means nothing. Everybody doesn't need to know what's going on in your wife.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

* life

[Anonymous]

Means she is only interested in his money and doesn't care for him

[RavVid]

I don't do social media so it ain't happening.

[exitseven]

She is embarrassed by you.

[Thot_Stomper]

It means you don't have a partner

[Akam93]

People keep their relationships private.

[DreamLife7]

That's a red flag

[BLP11520]

Not good
