Social media in relationships. Every relationship has its own dynamics. The couples you see around you or on social media may make you think that you are not having the relationship of your dreams. How much do you think a relationship that you only see on your phone screen affects your own relationship?
The posts of couples you see on social media may make you think that your relationship is not going well, that you are not happy enough, or that you are not a “perfect couple”. If you find yourself making comparisons, try these…
Why don’t you trust your relationship?
Lack of self-confidence may lie behind comparing your own relationship with the couples you see on social media. Is it really a problem that you don’t share photos together or do you just want to do it to please your followers? When we are unhappy, we tend to reflect this on our relationships. The first thing you need to do is to turn to yourself and find out the reason for your unhappiness.
You don’t know what goes on behind the scenes
No relationship is perfect. A couple who travels the world, eats good food and always seems happy may actually experience problems, as in every relationship. You never fully know what’s going on in a relationship. Try to be realistic.
Appreciate what you have
Instead of emulating what you see on social media, focus on your partner’s place in your life. Why are you with him? Why does it make you happy? Appreciate what you have instead of focusing on what you don’t have.
Talk to your partner
If you’re not satisfied even after you’ve stopped comparing, try talking to your partner. Communicating will allow you to be honest with each other.
