I wish I understood men…

Me making the statement “I want my relationship on Facebook” caused..

1. Me to be called insecure.

2. Me to be told I don’t love myself.

3. Being told “I’ll think about it. As a matter of fact I’m going to just always be gone and give you a reason to want me on Facebook.”

4. And for me to be told “you look better gone”.

Good times. Really good times. I mean we have only been together two years and lived together a little over a year but whatever.

**Thank you everybody for your feedback 💕. I do not keep nagging him about it. I have been having females contact me recently so I wanted to see how he’d react about me asking. Why does he need to keep me a secret? When we go places he will post and make sure I’m not in the video or picture but if he goes anywhere else with anybody else he posts and they’re in the video/picture. So I simply wanted to see what he’d say about me mentioning us putting our relationship on Facebook.

Also.. he cheated on me in the past and posted the girl he was cheating with. So that probably plays a major part in why I’m curious about him not wanting it even known that he is in a relationship. He doesn’t even have “in a relationship” on Facebook.

That’s not a man thing. That’s an abuser thing.

I don’t love my life being on social media, but I’d never say anything like that to anyone I care about. That isn’t a difference in opinion or preferences, he was straight up being nasty.

There's two different issues at hand here. First, you're making a big deal out of your relationship being defined by the status on social media. Having a FB relationship status doesn't legitimize anything, it doesn't make it better or more real. It just acts as a bullhorn to others to show them you're in one. And, ultimately, no one really cares anyway (and if they do, you have to wonder why anyone outside your relationship would care so much). So, why is it so important that he put your relationship on FB?The second part is his speaking to you the way he does - like he's going to intentionally act in a way to elicit a reaction from you. That's childish and isn't a great way to make a partner feel. It must feel like you're constantly in some kind of competition for his attention, love and showing of desire. Why do you stand for that?

I mean id not want to be posted 24:7 like some couples i know but id expect to be “in a relationship” and have a couple of pics posted at least. I’m always worried about guys who hide relationships and why they do it. Id see this as a red flag.

Everybody doesn’t feel the need to post on social media for validation.. find someone that seeks the same validation as you

She updated it but obviously left a lot of info out of the original post which makes sense why he reacted the way he did - he’s prolly lying, cheating and playing games!

Exactly! He clearly doesn’t want to post you keep asking you might get a less than nice response. Who wants to be nagged especially about social media

I don’t think your issue is not understanding men.

I mean social media doesn’t define your relationship and a lot of people don’t want their lives or relationship posted on social media. Rightfully so. If this is important to you then it’s time to move on and find someone who has the same value in it as you do.
