Social Media Relationships: To Post or Not to Post?
Manage episode 485437630 series 3642293
Ever notice how the dating world seems to work in mysterious ways? The moment you're happily single, nobody's interested. But as soon as you post that new relationship? Suddenly everyone's sliding into your DMs.
This episode dives deep into the social media relationship paradox that has many of us questioning whether we should post our partners online at all. I break down how relationship visibility can invite unwanted interference from people who suddenly develop interest once you're taken. From my own experiences, I've learned the hard way that sometimes privacy isn't about secrecy – it's about protection.
We explore the frustrating behavior of those "too friendly" individuals who cross boundaries with your partner both online and in person. You know the type – constantly commenting on every post, sending private messages, and then playing innocent with the classic "I'm just being friendly" defense. I call out this behavior for what it really is: disrespect that shouldn't be tolerated in healthy relationships.
The conversation examines how proper boundaries look in the digital age, from appropriate social media interactions to real-life behavior around your significant other. When someone is constantly tagging your partner, loving their posts, or being overly familiar in person, it's not insecurity to question these behaviors – it's relationship preservation.
This topic resonated so strongly that I'll be bringing guests for a part two discussion to further explore where exactly the line between friendly and flirtatious behavior lies. Whether you're currently dating, married, or single and observing these dynamics, you'll find valuable insights about relationship boundaries in today's interconnected world.
What boundaries do you set in your relationships? Have you experienced the phenomenon of suddenly-interested admirers once you're taken? Share your thoughts and join the conversation.
