These days, people wish each other a good morning on WhatsApp and read their news updates on Twitter. Social media has taken over our lives and is a source we reach out to in order to get in touch with what’s happening in the outside world. Notifications on social media bring pictures of natural disasters as well as birthday reminders to your screen. This mingling of public and private data can confuse us, and we may post unnecessary things about our relationships.
Even if a relationship was formed online, it would be unwise to parade your private moments or petty fights through social media posts. Trust us, the health of your relationship depends on you not doing the following!
1. Giving Away His Personal Information
Check with your partner before you post information about him on Facebook. He may not want everyone to know details of his personal life. He could just be much more of a private person than you are. And if it’s something just between just the two of you, that special something is not to be shared.
2. Blasting Him Online
Uploading a statement such as, “How could you forget and expect forgiveness?” would create a lot of interest and bring comments on your post. But what would happen to your privacy if you wash your dirty linen in public?
3. Sharing Your CT Scan
Sharing news of pregnancy will flood your wall on Facebook, as well as your rejoicing heart with wishes and congratulations from all over. However, it would be prudent to wait till you are into your fourth month of pregnancy till you go public with the news. Even then, should the whole world see the special CT scan?
4. Pictures Of Kisses
The picture of a kiss is almost always a selfie, which means that instead of enjoying the moment, you are thinking about what to post on Facebook or Instagram. Would this not diminish the quality your relationship?
5. A Gift From Him To You
The size of the diamond was meant to impress you, not your followers on Instagram. He does not care at all if they like it or not. Again, why make your friends envious? Not everyone gets such gifts and you should treasure them, not flaunt them.
6. Posts About An Ex
You friend might make a comment about her ex, and that would tempt you to talk about your own past. But still, why should you dig up such unpleasant stuff in public?
7. Sexy Clicks
It’s alright to share them with your partner, but it’s pointless to post them on social media. How can it be special for him if anyone and everyone can see it?
8. Your Trip Timetable
Planning a trip or a party with a loved one is thrilling, and you might want to share your excitement with friends and family from far and near. But don’t go into too many details, and wait to post your statements till the event is actually over. If things don’t go as planned, you might have to cut a sorry figure in public.
9. A Careless Post
So, you are thrilled that your partner has recovered from a minor injury. However, when you post a picture of the two of you outside the hospital, a lot of people will see it. Some of them may not be your close friends. They might interpret it wrongly and spread rumors about you. So, don’t post pictures in which the context is not clear.
10. Awkward Pictures
It was a hoot taking his picture in his underwear and capturing that look on his face! But posting that picture on social media is unacceptable. Case in point: One young lady got excited about her great shopping deal and posted pictures of her partner’s underwear with the price tag. His friends saw the pictures and started to tease him mercilessly.
11. Private Jokes About Him
Partners have fun pulling each other’s legs. Friends and family are often witness to the good-natured mutual bashing between the two. However, such jokes would look disrespectful on social media.
12. Daily Updates
A picture of an important event makes for a good share. But sharing too often or sharing something daily is impossible, and it becomes a tedious task. When you try to do that, the pictures and shares can turn out to be mundane and boring.
13. Careful About Comments
We can say whatever we like to our partner in person because then he has a chance to object to it, and it is a part of a private discussion. But online, the same comments are totally misplaced, and he would feel bad about them.
14. Proclaim Your Feelings
Declarations of love are meant for the lover’s ears and not for everyone else’s. No one needs to know, and they probably would not care to know. So, put your emotions in print if you must and mail those loving words to him and him alone.
The blurring of boundaries between our public and private lives can make us post the wrong things for everyone to see. But the tips listed above can guide you and help you decide what to and what not to post about the special person in your life!
