Please, Spare Us From These 6 Relationship Posts That Should Never Make It On Social Media

If my significant other posted a picture of me sleeping, which I’m sure is never flattering, I’d be pissed. Unless there is a pet(s) involved.

I think it’s safe to say that we all have at least one friend that posts their relationship, in its entirety, on social media. From the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep, you can count on their presence, and relationship updates, in your news feed.

Without putting in any effort, you are somehow up to date on the details of their relationship. So, for those who use social media like it’s a personal diary, here are 6 things you should stop doing immediately.

1. Stop posting *everything* on social media.

I have so many things to ask, but first…do you actually have any secrets or personal things between you two? I think it’s safe to say that the social media world doesn’t want to know.

I really don’t care about what you packed your significant other for lunch, and I definitely don’t care what you and bae did at the gym each day for the past month, so please, stop.

2. Keep your seven weeks, 19 weeks or even seven month anniversary to yourself.

Save the super gushy posts for the bigger, more memorable anniversaries, please. I’m really happy for you, but if you’re really that excited to celebrate the seven weeks you have been together, I feel that it should be a personal thing.

In my opinion, when I see couples that are so focused on each other and so tunneled-in on the smallest things, it makes me feel that they aren’t able to reliably contribute or participate in the world around them.

3. No one actually wants to see bae sleeping.

If my significant other posted a picture of me sleeping, which I’m sure is never flattering, I’d be pissed. Unless there is a pet(s) involved, I’d prefer not to see it…and even then, it probably isn’t flattering.

You see? Fortunately, until this article, this photo has never seen the light of day.

4. Any kind of “adult” content.

I thought this was pretty much an unspoken rule but keep anything you wouldn’t want your parents seeing off your timeline, even if you’re parents are the coolest people in the world or aren’t friends with you on social media. Not only out of respect for yourself and your partner but for, oh, I don't know, your future.

5. Sharing “relatable” pictures, posts, or statuses that give away all of your unspoken feelings.

If something happens that causes you some kind of emotional response between you and your significant other, the last place you should gois social media. Unless you’re starving for attention, then maybe consider it.

6. Any kind of argument, disagreement, issues with your significant other.

I’m not sure how or why this is something that still exists, but when you post about how you’re upset or on a break or need space from your significant other, and are back with them posting the next day, no one forgets.

Public fights, especially ones on social media, are messy. Not saying anyone is judging you, but we definitely don’t forget.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
