The advancements in technology have played different roles in relationships. Some relationships have broken while others have been mended through social media.
Here are five ways social media is ruining your relationship.
1. Keeping in touch with your ex
Being friends with your ex on social media can be dangerous as scrolling through their pages can make you remember all the good times you shared together. Keeping in touch with your ex on social media can make you fall into your old ways.
2. Spending too much time on social media
Spending a lot of time on social media can ruin your relationship. If you spend all your free time on social media instead of bonding with your partner, this can hurt your relationship. Spare some time to hang out with your partner and engage in meaningful conversations.
3. Comparing your relationship to others
It is important to note that all relationships are faced with challenges in one way or the other. Do not compare your relationship to what you see on social media. This will cause you to put unnecessary pressure on yourself as well as on your partner.
4. Jumping into conclusions
Getting mad whenever your partner's exes like or comment on their posts can ruin your relationship. This does mean your partner is cheating on you or trying to get back with their ex. If it bothers you, address the issue with your partner instead of jumping into conclusions.
5. Focusing on other people's feelings
Most people have turned to social media for consolation. We tend to follow what other people share on their social media pages and fail to focus on our own feelings as well as our partner's wellbeing.
