Would you post your boyfriend or girlfriend on your social media?

Social media is the place where many seek validation and approval. We've been condition to think that the number of likes and shares determine our self-worth and value. We post our houses, cars, clothes, families, and careers. Hoping someone will comment and boost our fragile ego.

So why not post the person that you spend the most time with?

Makes sense to show how happy and blessed you are in your relationship to the world. I get that. I have posted two of my boyfriends in the past. I can tell you from experience that it might not be a good idea. People can be jealous and envious creatures. Some people may be really happy for you, while others are praying for the demise of your relationship. You may be thinking to yourself and telling others that “we have a strong bond and nothing can tear us apart.” Most relationships start off that way, and end with I can't trust you, or he/she cheated on me.

Sharing your platform with them…

Many of us speak about our haters and how they want to be us. Do you think that your partner is off limits? When you post them on your page and tag them. The first thing everyone is going to do is go look at their page. They want to know what type of person he/she is and what made you choose them. You have now giving them a window seat into your relationship. If we are being honest most relationships don’t even make it to the 5 year mark.

Do you really want that type of pressure and scrutiny?

In my opinion, social media is the gateway for cheating and mistrust. It gives you access to anyone at anytime. Your partner may be trust worthy, and has never thought about cheating on you until…

That DM notification pops up. They may have every intention of being faithful and loyal to you until they're tested. It’s like free advertisement to get them taken. You are showing them what they do for you, places you go to, and things they buy you etc.

Why wouldn't they become more desirable. You’ve made them that way.

Most people don't want you until they see you happy with someone else.
