POSTING ABOUT YOUR RRLATIONSHIP ONLINE MIGHT RUIN IT,READ WHY.

 I saw this post on one of the sites I enjoy reading,and I thought I should bring it here because I find it quite educative and I'm one of this find bae,keep bae,and enjoy your relationship in peace people, it's a must read for anyone who wants a lasting relationship.
Social media is so popular these days that it almost is like having a drug addiction. If you think about it, what would you do on your phone when you’re bored if you didn’t have the apps to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.? It is so important now that it literally has the power to destroy relationships.
Discussing whether or not those relationships were solid is a completely different conversation. Before social media, people had plenty of privacy. Now people have become so involved they no longer know the difference between privacy and what is intentionally being kept a secret. Arguments can get started in a relationship when one person wants to keep the relationship from becoming “official” on social media to keep it private. As a result, the other person may feel that their significant other is trying to keep the relationship a secret.
If you ever feel that you need social media to validate the relationship you are in, perhaps the person you are with is wrong for you.
