Social media can be way more fun when you can post photos and videos of that special someone you enjoying spending time with on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snap chat.
In most cases you might want to think twice before posting “Best hubby ever!!!! #blessed” or “amazing day with bae” on Facebook or Instagram.
According to a new study soon to be published in the journal of Personal Relationships, when you post lovely, affectionate updates, your friends don’t exactly react the way you might expect.

1. It makes public what is meant to be private: I believe that romance is one of those things that is meant to be private, but it seems that once you change your relationship status the force of Facebook is working against you.

2. It gives haters an opportunity to “prey” on your ”bae” or ”boo”: Once you upload a picture and you’ve tagged your “bae” your followers will follow or send a friend request to your new boo. Then they start going through photos of him/her making an assessment of who they are, trying to find something bad to say about them, while some may go to the extent of flirting with them online to try and get them to engage.

3. It promotes drama: Even if you only have a few friends on social media, you never know who might take a screenshot of something you post and share it.

4. It can cause a competitive element in your relationship: A good number of couples get into arguments about who posts more pictures of them together on Facebook or Instagram etc.

5. It creates a major dilemma if you break up: Now that you have a permanent online footprint that you were with this person. Do you keep the pictures up or do you take them down? How do you explain them to the next person you are with.
Remember don’t let social media negatively affect your relationship. Express appreciation for your partner, communicate with each other, maintain boundaries between your real life and your cyber life and don’t share too much you’ll both be much happier.
Keeping your relationship healthy online doesn’t take a lot of effort, and in the long run, it will make the relationship more likely to last.

So right.

on point.

In as much as flaunting your relationship online has it's disadvantages, like you rightly stated, we shouldn't forget that it also has it advantages.

One of this advantages is that it sends a message to people that you are off limits, that they should back off, because you are in a relationship with someone.

There are various people on the internet, most especially men, who derive pleasure and their share of fun from preying on various ladies. You see them asking them to send them nude pictures, stalking them and using various other mean to get their attention, to the extent that it becomes a constant burden for these ladies. If such lady posts pictures of her spouse on social media, these kind of predators would have no option but to hunt somewhere else.

Also, when you flaunt your relationship on social media, it gives you some sort of confidence and assurance in yourself and in your relationship. It makes it harder for you to cheat on your partner. It's like preaching the gospel in public. It makes it more difficult for you to sin or do something that contradicts what you preach because almost everyone knows you as a preacher, the same applies with flaunting your relationship on social media, because you know that if you are unfaithful, not only would it spread like wild fire, it is also extremely demeaning and embarrassing.

Hmmmm

As all the people above me wey sabi book pass me don talk.. Wetin I wan talk again?

Estharfabian:

Estharfabian:

*Whispers*Say What's On Your Mind!

some guys be dating ugly chicks and still be nodding along with the OP........ nobody go flirt with ur girlfriend, so just chill the fuçk out.

Estharfabian:
You don't know exactly how I felt..


dirty...

Sorry about that.
You should talk to your dad about it. Pretty sure he'll have a better way of dealing with it unlike the way women over react sometimes.

Estharfabian:
Thought it's A smiley's convention??

Haha,Really Wanted To Use A Smiley I Couldn't Find On Here..
It's The Erotic Kind!

Agreed.

You live and you learn everyday.

it creates a major dilemma if you break up: Now that you have a permanent online footprint that you were with this person. Do you keep the pictures up or do you take them down? How do you explain them to the next person you are with.

this is the only reason I don't and will not post my relationship on social media the rest is BS

who gives a fvck about what people think or say

Only silly girls show off...

When a guy shows off... Wait! When guys do it, it's not called a "Show Off", it's a form of appreciation.

I get pissed when I see girls showing off but I get touched and go "Aww, Lucky Girl" when a guy does it.

Estharfabian:
Women overreact??

Sometimes.

Estharfabian:
I couldn't agree more!


Showcasing your relationships Online is Just Sad...Unconsciously Creating room for unnecessary "Jealousy"..

it's just like rubbing it in Your face! ''Yes, You're single n I've found Love...Deal with it, I win....!"


I'd probably flirt With Your bf To prove A Point! sorry biitches!

you have a point, there are many of your kind that does this
