We've all heard the myth that social media and relationship
don’t work. Sure we've all seen the break-ups, make-ups and screw-ups on social
networks. But there is a way you can keep your social networks AND your
relationship. Here’s how!
1.
DON’T ASK
FOR PASSWORDS- If you feel the need to ask for a password, you don’t trust
him, and that’s a whole other article!
2. ITS OK FOR OTHER GIRLS TO COMMENT-
Other girls will comment! Some may even say something you’re not ok with. Your
man can not control what other people say on his social networks.
3. DO NOT STALK COMMENTORS! - Someone
comments on your man’s Instagram with a kissy face, now you’re stalking her
page looking at comments from months ago. Or worse, her page is private and now
you’re driving yourself crazy wondering who this girl is. Don’t do this to
yourself!
4.
MAKE IT
KNOWN YOU’RE IN RELATIONSHIP- If you are in a relationship offline then you
need to be in a relationship online as well. You have no business responding to
flirtatious/sexual comments, claiming to be single or approaching others for
sex/relationships. Don’t let your online popularity ruin your real life.
5.
KEEP IT
POSITIVE- Sharing the bad news in your relationship will only welcome uninvited
guests .Remember that guy who always
thought you cute, or that girl who’s been scheming on your man, they will take
this as cue, and try to weasel they’re way in. Share the good news; keep the
bad news in house.
6.
BE
CAREFUL WHAT YOU POST- Maybe you had a bad at work and post something along
the lines of “It’s Time for a change”. Sure, you know you’re talking about your
job, but nobody else does!! People will assume you are talking about your
relationship, and guess what? Here come the uninvited guests again!
7.
KEEP
BOUNDARIES WITH EXES- You don’t have to let your ex follow you, you don’t
have to follow or friend him either. Keep your offline relationship and online
relationship the same. Sure you don’t talk to him anymore, but your man could
be just as irritated by the constant commenting and likes.
8.
DON’T
BELIEVE THE “IT’S JUST SOCIAL MEDIA” LINE- Chances are if he’s acting up
online, he’s acting up offline to! It’s not social networks that can ruin your
relationship, it’s the way he (or you) acts on these platforms that ruining
your relationship. Talk about the real issue, the trust, secrecy, jealousy, the
being inconsiderate, whatever the issue may be. Social media just amplifies
those traits, it doesn't make them appear.
9.
IT’S OK
TO FLAUNT YOUR LOVE! - A sappy post or a picture can go a long way
sometimes! Some will say its corny or “doing too much” but there is nothing
wrong with professing your love publicly! You never want your partner to feel
like they’re a secret.
10.
PUT DOWN
YOUR PHONE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE- We get that you’re busy, but we need time
to! Don’t be so caught up on checking your social networks that you neglect
your partner. Set up a date night and keep your phone use to a minimum!
