How much is too much when it comes to sharing your relationship on social media?

Question

Everyone has different boundaries when it comes to sharing their personal life online, but how much is too much? Is it okay to post everything from cute couple photos to intimate moments, or should some things stay private? What’s your take?

GaG is the closest I come to using social media, I don't use the types of sites like facebook where the point is just putting your life online. So I'd say anything at all is too much.

if I was in a relationship, I'd probably stop using this site too, and might even get rid of the internet entirely, because then I'd have my girlfriend/wife to play video games with, and online gaming as a means to substitute local gaming, is the only reason I really bother keeping internet at all.

I'd much prefer the geeky. nerdy life I had in the 1990s, but then again I might choose to keep internet anyway just for buying anime, collectables. and for seeing science news and vids. But for everything else, I'd prefer it to be offline.

I used to post pics on my social media. And stories, but I no longer do either. It's not necessary to put your relationships on display, also because that relationship could end and it now looks embarrassing. I know people want the world to know they've got somebody and they're dating, but it is so much more important to keep your relationship private. People are nosy, especially family and co-workers, and they don't need to be talking about your business or taking screenshots to show other people.

I personally like to keep my relationship low key. I want people to know who I’m dating but that’s about it. I think posting couple photos here and there is totally fine, but don’t make you social media all about your relationship.

I also think intimate moments should either remain private or only shared with a select few people. I believe the “evil eye” is real, you don’t want to share everything online because there are jealous people out there who might wish you ill or send negative vibes over unknowingly.

Sharing anything. I hated when my ex put our picture on his Facebook profile page. It was so cringe to me but I didn't ask him to take it down. I should have because I had a deep feeling that it wasn't going to last and lo and behold it didn't last so he ended up having to take it down.

Sharing your relationship on social media is like putting a filter on your love story, right? 😎 Everyone loves a cute couple pic, but it's important to keep your most intimate moments just for the two of you. It's about drawing that invisible line where you maintain the privacy and magic in your relationship. If you're questioning it, maybe it's a sign to keep those special moments off the 'gram! Let the mystery live! ✨

It depends on the individual. Some people (like my wife and I) don't share any aspects of our relationship online. Others share every little detail.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I personally don't like sharing stuff cuz it just feels like you are trying to show off, since you only post the good times. For example, many people always post the perfect picture of them with their families and write cringy shit on the picture like "I have the perfect wife blah blah blah" but the guy is sleeping with her best friend behind her back. It's like why play pretend? I barely post anything of a partner because it's between us not the world.

There is no boundaries or borders line nor any yardstick. All about individual choice of tailor made and drawing line.. Depending on your personal privacy. My honest and sincere advice is be careful before making any decisions.

Ferngully2000 · Answer

I don’t post our relationship at all.

I noticed recently that couples that do it are in the early stages of dating so a bit keen to prove their relationship to people, Maybe these people are insecure, uncertain of the longevity or it in for the likes. It seems like many established couples don’t feel the need to do it.

EmmaMary · Answer

Well everyone here knows that I'm married and have two children (Boy & Girl)... And that is pretty much as far as it goes... Certainly never any photos or intimate moments get disclosed.

OneViewpoint · Answer

Private. I don't tell anyone specifics about my current love life. Not even close friends. Certainly not the idiot mob on the internet.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

hmmm very strong preference for no identifiable photos on social media, no photos of us, no photos of me, no photos of her, no civil names either, only pseudonyms.

new-person · Answer

That really depends on the two people in the relationship. It will only be to much if the other person in the relationship dose not like or disagree with you posting it. Some people are conservative and only post a few things. Some people are sexual liberal and post a lot about there sex life

LiamS95 · Answer

Personally no one is entitled to know any details of my relationship with you
(Just using the word you as an example) anything to do with sex or me giving you multiple orgasms is sacred private. Finances are nobody. business etc..

Enough is never enough for legal adults to overshare their life stories online "hey guys, it's day 2 of my period" says everyone's adult girlfriend ever lol 😹😆

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Eh... couple's photos are good. Maybe vacation pics. Big moments together. You probably shouldn't be sharing sweet little day-to-day gestures. Definitely no relationship drama.

Shiprex · Answer

Not really as there has to be some privacy and the validation and egocentrism of modern internet obsession is over the top

I don't post anything about my private life on social media. I just post things that I think are funny, true and to the point. Also jobs that I've finished as advertising

Miristheiss · Answer

I am for total privacy. It is a red flag if they want to post a lot on SM.

Personally, I don't want any of our relationship shared online. I don't like social media at all and don't appreciate any of my life being shared with others. I don't want our personal life to be someone else's entertainment.
