When you are head over heels in love, you feel like shouting your declaration of love and telling the world how happy you are. Nowadays you would log in to Facebook, Twitter or other social media accounts to change your relationship status or post cute romantic pictures of you and your new-found love. Changing your relationship status is one thing but can posting intricate details about you and your beau be damaging to the relationship? How much is too much sharing on social media? We share with you 4 major scenarios you should not be posting about on the internet:
1. Whenever you're having a lovers' quarrel
Don't we all know someone that would constantly update their status whenever he/she just had an argument with their partner? If you don't, then consider yourself lucky. It is completely fine to share with your friends when you just had a big fight, but choosing to share something negative about your partner to the hundreds or thousands of people on your list of friends could seriously hurt the relationship. Instead of typing it on your status – call a close friend and vent it out privately.
2. Posting something just so your partner can see
When there is something that you would like to say to your partner, it is far better to communicate that privately, either via a phone call or a face-to-face meeting. No one should have to be involved, indirectly and involuntarily, to the ins and outs of your relationship. Respect your partner enough to keep some things private, especially when it comes to certain issues you both need to talk about alone.
3. Any information you share about your sexual life is TMI
Let's be honest here, does anyone truly want to know what other people do with his or her loved ones when it comes to intimacy? If listening to your best friends talk about their sexual life makes you want to rip your ears off, then it might be best not to do the same yourself especially on social media. What you choose to do with your partner behind closed doors should really remain between you two and you two alone.
4. Sharing everything and anything remotely romantic that your boyfriend has done
A new study has found that people who boast about their relationship on social media are more likely to stay together. Now, before you use the result of this study as a reason to put your relationship on blast – it is important to understand that these couples shared only parts of their relationships online. Posting pictures or sweet statuses on how "I have the best boyfriend ever!" is fine but make sure that you still keep things between you and your partner that no one else gets to know about.
