The Issue
If you were taking a look at the online interaction between me and my husband you wouldn't even think we're friends, let alone married. He never"likes" my photos or posts and he rarely comments on some one of my statuses. This has led to a number of my buddies and even some of my relatives writing if you ask me personally on social media to ask if everything is fine with us. At first, I was baffled that people today would think my husband and I had marital issues because he didn't"like" my new profile selfie. Needless to say, he did not"like" it. He had been there when I took it. Why would he have liked it on line after he has already seen it?
But that started me thinking about the way that societal networking contours that the public opinion of these relationships. Our union is rock solid, but there were people who knew us both assuming that we were in some trouble because we did not socialize on societal networking. Isn't that weird? Maybe it isn't. Maybe we should be judging other people's relationships by that which we view online. However, I really actually don't think so. And here's why:
Social media isn't real. It's a construct that we've composed at which everyone else always looks amazing and can be having pleasure and magically good lighting is simply everywhere. Social media is the hyper-glossy variation of the regular lives that are boring. Nobody cares once I make pork chops for lunch. Social support systems is what we wish our lives were like, not what our lives are actually like.
No Fight Is Fun The Science Behind It
And science backs that up. There is actual evidence that couples who are all into each other's social media and posting photos constantly of the two of them being joyful and commenting around one another's pages are in fact extremely miserable. The most effective connections, according to science and psychology, would be the ones where the partners don't feel that the necessity to socialize constantly on social networking or post photos of how happy they are.
Therefore no, do not be angry if your partner does not like all your social media articles, label you in every photo, or post heaps of photos of the both of you together. If your relationship is so solid it doesn't need to be constantly on display. Of course, if a partner does start getting clingy on social networking or starts using spy apps on then you need to probably have a conversation with your partner concerning the status of your relationship.
