What are the crazy effects social media can have on relationships?
I used to post a lot about my relationship, and once it went sour, or if we experienced issues, I may be vague about what was going on, and then people would inquire. Since that relationship and all of its issues subsided, I’ve become very private. If I’ve dated anyone I don’t broadcast it, and I keep things to myself. If you are a good friend, that means we talk off of social media, and you’ll know if I’m in a relationship or not, that kind of personal knowledge.
I don’t post anything about my relationship at all. I don’t post anything about death or illness either unless it’s something I need lots of people to know at once. I’m a fairly private person and want to keep my problems between me and the people they involve, and that’s it. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer and progressively got worse, she made us promise not to post anything about it on social media because she’s also a private person and didn’t want everyone worrying about or pitying her. Most of the time I don’t feel like shit like that is appropriate for social media.
