Why you shouldn’t post too much about your relationship on Facebook

If you find your partner posting nostalgic photos from an old vacation or a family album, chances are that he may be insecure about his relationship status. According to a study, people who felt anxious about their partners were most likely to remind others that they are in a true and secure relationship.

‘On days when people felt more insecure about their partner’s feelings than they typically do, they posted more relationship-relevant information on Facebook,’ researchers noted. The same is true for people who were anxious in general. According to researchers, ‘the studies highlight the role of relationships in how people portray themselves to others’.

The study was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

Here are some signs which signify ‘the end’ of a relationship

Lack of communication

Communication is one of the foundations of a healthy relationship. Lack of it can create a crack in this bond which increases with time. ‘A sign that it is time to end the relationship is when couple/partner finds ways to avoid healthy communication and stays out at work or with friends to avoid much interaction,’ says Dr Anjali.

Liar liar
Lying to your partner not only breaks their trust in you but shows that you don’t have much respect for them either. ‘When couple/partner starts making false excuses or start lying about late working hours, text messages, random phone calls, etc., it is a sign that he/she has lost interest in keeping the relationship going,’ she adds.

Never-ending fights
Says Anjali, ‘If a couple is constantly arguing, fighting and finding it difficult to communicate in a healthy way, it will definitely lead to a fallout sooner than later.’ Read more about 10 signs which say ‘it’s time to break-up’
