Mehek Malhotra*: If you're worried that you and your partner don't post enough about your relationship on social media, it might actually be a good thing and a healthy approach to love.
In Short
- People in happy relationships post less online because they’re busy enjoying real life
- Sharing intimate details on social media is tied to relationship satisfaction
- Oversharing your intimate life may signal a need for outside reassurance
From the quiet soft launch, a mystery hand in the photo or two drinks on a table, to posting cuddled-up photos for the world to see, many people feel a relationship isn't real unless it's on social media. After all, your followers need to see your 'perfect person', along with every romantic milestone, anniversary caption, and romantic getaway update.
But studies suggest something different. Couples who are truly happy in real life often post less about their relationship online. They don't feel the need to prove anything or share every detail. Instead, they focus on enjoying time together without thinking about likes and comments.
