Do you like posting your relationship on social media?

Question

What do you think about sharing every moment you have with your lover on social media?

Pacquet · Accepted Answer

No. I’d post an experience like a trip or something I shared with a girlfriend but posting just the relationship just to show I’m in a relationship feels gratuitous and braggy for something that no one really cares about. Every once in a while seems fine though, for example if your Instagram is a microblog of moments in your life I could understand sharing a photo of the person you’re doing life with but some people over do it. It’s not so much that I don’t like it, it’s that after the 2nd or 3rd time it’s boring and doesn’t anything new, it’s just a picture of them.

Sometimes I wonder what sort of validation do people want for posting photos with their boyfriends and girlfriends. I’m happy for those people but if they’re sharing it on social media it’s almost like they’re looking for a congratulations which is kind of bizarre. I know some girls that every post is a photo with their boyfriend as if to say “this is the only
interesting thing about me”. Little bit of a rant but I’ve thought about this before so I was glad someone asked because it helped me synthesize and understand why I don’t like it.

I just talk shit and post memes. People find all that bullshit from my wife.  I'm looking at you Mom... STOP FACEBOOK STALKING ME!

Honestly if it’s been a couple months then yes for sure. But if it’s a new relationship I want to make sure things will work out first. I didn’t post my ex until about 4 months into the relationship. The last guy I was seeing didn’t get that as we weren’t technically dating and we were only seeing each other for 6 months so no he didn’t get posted. If we are dating then I’ll post but not a bunch and not right away. It’s just out of respect and don’t want to do anything drastic right away.

It depends who it is cause the last guy I dated was somebody that nobody knew by name other than a friend who had never met him in person. Most of my friends knew us both but they did not know we were dating.

I don't post much on social media, and I don't understand why some people post whatever they are doing so all can see. I really don't care when you last pooped.

SquishyBuns2628 · Answer

Nah its no one's business plus a majority of my friends don't like my boyfriend due to a huge misunderstanding from one person and thus it spread like wild fire.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I post photos of us here and there but im definitely not the type to post all our business out there

i know some couples who will post every detail of their life including all their fights online. That shit is embarrassing lol

It’s nice to show happiness to your friends and family especially when said friends and family are also doing it. But it just makes those who are lonely to hurt that much more. Building their resentment.

I could care less about social media if she is with me every night I have no need to post a bunch of pics

AaronKrieger · Answer

No, I am very private person and those memories are for us. Who cares if my friends see us happy? It's not their relationship, lmao.

exitseven · Answer

I have about as much interest in doing that than I do getting root canal. Even if I was young I would never do something like that

admles · Answer

Nope. Relationships should be kept off social media in general, IMHO. Post announcements for major events - engagement, marriage etc - but those people who post every single interaction online, ugh.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I don't dislike it. It's just not a priority.

loveslongnails · Answer

The closest I come to posting anything on social media is this app, and there's nothing identifying about it! I don't even bother with all the other crap apps.

Yannae · Answer

No, but I do take photos and record videos and I save them in a private folder. To cherish those moments.

Rush_hour · Answer

I think it's a bad idea. Personally, I don't believe in the whole boyfriend-girlfriend situation. I'm more into the marriage model. That said, I do think that the relationship should be private.

This is the only social media I have. I only have FB to sell stuff on Marketplace, I don't have friends/friend requests, none of that. So that answer is a straight no.

Rouba99 · Answer

No I don’t.. I think my relationship is only between me and my partner that’s it l don’t want anyone to see it it’s just for me and him.. also there’s no point showing or posting it in my opinion

Z1pTD · Answer
