Relationships

Is it essential to post your partner on social media?

Been with my boyfriend for 2 years. Right at the beginning of us seeing each other, 1 month in, my mother made a point to ask me not to post us on social media due to my family back in India getting too nosey, involved and putting pressure. This was because my relationship before this current one, I did post quite a lot quite openly when in fact it was a terrible relationship. He was psychologically abusive and would end it with me all the time, made me feel inadequate. Culturally I think my family are a bit backward. They expect limited dating, marriage must be on the cards. If nothing happens on THEIR TIMELINE, they put on the pressure. My mother struggled to deal with all the questions even when it ended. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hate having to make everyone else happy but I also get it. To answer to everyone why after 6.5 years it's ended was just difficult. I explained this to current boyfriend but now he continues to bring up that he thinks it's convenient, and he thinks I'm trying to keep him secret from other men. I said I've limited my family on social media because I was sick of not doing what makes me happy so I posted the odd few things. So my friend list except the family in India, can see. He now accuses me of all sorts just because some friends won't like my pictures of us but tbh they like some, not all and I can't control what they like. Also not everyone is as glued to social media like he and his 1000s of friends. He said every guy that likes my pics "wants to f***" me. I said ok here's a few things, you should trust me regardless of what they want, why would I stay friends with them? I asked him back "well you like some of your girl mate's pic, does that mean you do?" His response was "well some... some are just nice people". What the hell. I said so you're projecting due to your motives, perfect!

Also just to add, he doesn't post me at all. I've posted him on FB and IG, pinned our stories to the top of the page etc. Created an album of just us but its not enough. I had our relationship status on there but what puts me off is that whenever there's a "fight" he deletes/blocks me off everything, ends it etc. It's all a bit familiar. Also my ex cheated on me and our pics were up on both sides so does it matter really? If someone wants to be a dickhead and cheat, they will do it.
