7 things about your relationship that you should not put on social media

Just take a look at your social media feed, on your Facebook wall someone will be posting about how their hubby planned a ‘surprise’ dinner; on Instagram a friend will be sharing how good they look as a couple; on twitter someone may just be ranting about what their girlfriend asked them to do and on Whatsapp someone might just be sharing the cheesy details of date night. There you have it, every aspect of personal life shared for all your friends to see.

But what most people are unaware or rather choose to ignore is the dangers of flaunting every bit of their relationship on social media. We give you seven reasons why your bathroom selfies with bae should remain in the confines of your hidden folder on your phone rather than posted for all to see.

1. What happens in between the sheets

We are sure you may have an amazing time between the sheets but spare outsiders the details of your intimate life

2.Personal details about your partner or significant other

You may feel like bragging to the rest of the world how awesome a catch your partner is and how ‘loaded’ they are, but refrain. If your partner is okay with it do it by all means, but it only invites scorn from others who will lose no time in belittling you. Personal details like family name, address, phone number or account numbers are a strict no-no.

3.Personal photos of your partner

Your partner is sending those selfies or images to you in confidence that they be seen only by you. By posting such intimate photos of your partner you may be putting her or him in harm’s way. Such images can end up being used for blackmailing, catfishing and character assassination, think about it. No one wants to see love bites, hickeys, or you kissing either, spare everyone the horror.

4.Make your fight public

You and the man/woman in your life may have been fighting over who gets to sleep on which side of the bed but that does not mean the world needs to know of it. Highlighting your squabbles, calling each other names will seem very petty when looked at in hindsight also it does not give a good impression of you as a person. It shows you in a bad light. Remember, nowadays all recruiters skim through social media profiles to get an idea of their future candidate. Posting about your breakup, divorce or cat fight is also a strict no-no. You need to be mature enough to fight your battles at home, rather than have 10 other people tell you how to.

5. Cryptic notes about your personal love life

You know, posting those love, relationship, friendship, honesty quotes and poems may seem like you are very insightful and deep. But do remember when you post quotes about cheaters and respect and love and treating you right, your friends will know all is not well in paradise and also if they know you two have had a troublesome history, then even more so.

6.Expensive gifts

Oh, so you are enjoying a holiday in Bali, can afford going to Singapore on a weekend break, can have dinner at the Burj Khalifa and can afford to flaunt a rock as big as a marble on your finger. Good for you, but tell the world and all they will think is oh..he/she is a loaded catch. You may even come across as a goldigger and then remember Kim Kardashian? How all her precious jewels got stolen after she pasted all her diamonds and wealth on social media. Yeah, that could be you in future.

7.Your ultrasound

Oh, so you are having a baby! What amazing news, sharing your date of delivery may be cute but your ultrasound? Do you actually want everyone to know that you producing another human? For one it is a very private moment to be put online  and two it can be misused by others. Also, what about family and friends who get to know via this medium and not you calling and telling them personally? This is a classic example of what people call as over-sharing. Trust me, nobody wants to know how the inside of your body looks like.
