discuss How does social media impact romantic relationships?

[Ashake]

Today social networks are a essential part of our lives and it is very impossible for some people to not bring them into their romantic relationships. I don't like displaying my private life on social media. This is what so many people are fond of and they have invited the third party into their relationship through this. There are lots of couples competitions there and that is not healthy for relationships. What do you think?

Social media can be a helpful for couples. My partner and I like sharing the interesting events in our lives and the significant achievements on Instagram and I found out that it unites us the more. We also still interact over social media and it has made it easier to feel that we are active parts of each other’s lives.

In my opinion, social media are not healthy for relationships. The comparison and rivalry on social media makes me jealous and that has always set the urge to create a flawless image which is actually impossible in reality. My girlfriend and I have agreed to opt out of using social media to communicate sensitive issues in our relationship. Now, we do that in real life, and it's better that way.

Apart from communicating through social apps and publishing media showcasing your relationship, I do not think social media actually have any hands in building relationship. In fact research show that those who post a lot about their romantic relationship are actually not happy with their relationship.

Social media can be good for relationships. Celebrating each others online can show our connection. But there should be boundaries; partners should avoid posting certain things about their relationship online such as disagreements or challenges.

Social media is not an ideal place to show off one's relationship. There are quite some toxic people there who don't want anything other than the downfall of such relationship.
However, social can have a positive impact on relationships as it can be a means of communication for partners, especially in long distance relationships.
