No, I Don't Post About My Boyfriend Online, But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Love Him

I choose not to make my personal life public.

No, I Don't Post About My Boyfriend Online, But That Doesn't Mean I Don't Love Him

Some girls feel the need to post about their relationships from the second they get into one to show the world they are in a relationship and are actually capable of having a boyfriend. If that is you then you do you girl, but that is not my cup of tea and here is why.

I personally think you do not need to know every detail of my life. The world does not need to know every single piece of my life down to the smallest detail. I share what I want to share and I keep private what I do not. If I do not want to post about my boyfriend, that doesn't mean I do not love him, I just choose to keep our relationship between us.

My relationship is mine, not yours or anyone else's, it is between me and my boyfriend.

You have no business in knowing the details of my relationship, so please do not ask, because I will likely not tell you everything anyway. You are just wasting both of our time. My personal life is just that: personal.

I have nothing to prove to you and I do not need to prove anything to the world either. My life is mine to live, so let me do what I want and please do not judge me for the way I choose to handle my relationship. I do not need to prove to the world that I am capable of being in a relationship.

Whether I choose to post about my relationship or not does not determine how much I love and care for him. A post on social media does not determine someone's worth and will not change the status of a relationship.

If I want you to know I am in a relationship, I will tell you. Trust me, you will know if I am in a relationship and I want you to know. Being in a relationship is nothing to be ashamed of, and you should want to show off your significant other, but you can do that in many different ways. Just by simply being with them in public is a way of showing off your significant other.

You do not always have to post a picture on Instagram or Facebook with your relationship status.

Posting about someone does not determine their worth in my life. My personal life is personal and relationships are between me and that other person. It's my relationship and I don't need other people telling me how to live my life and pursue my relationships.

Post all you want about yours but let me do what I want with mine.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
