Social media; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat among other social media platforms have become part of our daily lives. However, when it comes to relationships, social media has become a “curse”. This is why:
There is no privacy: Nowadays the whole world will know if your relationship is happy or when you are experiencing problems. This is because both parties will rant about their relationship status on Facebook, either boasting or crying. Your relationship is your business, keep it private.
Source of insecurity: Did you know that most people “spy” on their partners? They want to find out what their significant other is doing, with whom and why? This breeds excessive jealousy in a relationship hence making it unmanageable.
Makes you choose between your lover and other friends: Social media’s main intention is to connect with friends and family. However, this connection seems to be a problem when one is dating because you are afraid that if you comment sweetly or like that Instagram selfie of your long lost high school classmate, your lover will start doubting your faithfulness.
Cheating: It is true that people post tempting photos and messages on social media platforms. If you are not careful, you get attracted and then you “slide into the DM” and without knowing it you have fallen in love with someone else yet you are still in another relationship, hence lack being branded a traitor.
Eventual break up; Constant fighting because of Facebook or Instagram posts will ruin your relationship and eventually, you will part ways. This the eventual painful price you have to pay because of irrational jealousness or judgment.
