Social media can be a medium through which partners meet. But it can be boring to have a partner who is addicted to social media. One adverse effect of social media is that it can make a sweet person become the worst version of himself or herself.
Social media can make you act like a totally different person. For example, look at how our parents normally react when they see us holding our phones all the time. How much more your better half who needs time and attention?
Having a partner who is addicted to social media can make a relationship get messy.
If one partner is always updating every moment of their life on social media, it can be very troublesome. Here is what you need to know about social media, and why your partner is probably addicted to it.
SPEAK UP
If your partner seems to post everything going on in their relationship on social media, and you don’t like it, speak up.
Do this in a nice way so that it doesn’t appear as though you want him or her to stop because you have another person who might see it. Rather, let them reason with you on why you don’t want your relationship to go public.
Don’t try to be superstitious; you might spoil the whole thing. Say it in a convincing way such as, “Babe, you someone can say something bad, and try to ruin our relationship”.
Refrain from superstition and let him or her reason with you on why everything about your relationship should not be publicized. Once a while, you can post about your sweetheart, but not when he buys you ice-cream or airtime.
You’ll be forced to stay in a toxic relationship if you end up posting everything online. Don’t try to please your social media judges to make it look like your relationship is perfect.
TRY TO SET BOUNDARIES
If you think you can handle your partner’s posting of everything on social media, try to set boundaries.
You should feel free to make it clear that you don’t approve how they use social media. And state your reasons while emphasizing on how it makes you feel.
Also, if you think your partner tries to appear single on social media, and is always begging on social media — then you should have a serious conversation with them.
Let them tell you their stand on the relationship since this can be a great red flag. You can handle this by blocking him or her on social media. if they complain about the blocking, you can use that medium to explain to him or her that you don’t like their addiction to social media. Blocking or unfollowing your partner may look extreme, but I bet you if he/she really loves and cares about you, they’ll change for the better.
