Everything from baby births, to engagements and even relationship-threatening arguments are documented on social media as if writing in a journal. If social media is going to be a place where you both decide to document your relationship’s journey, have a conversation about what should and should not be disclosed to the world online. It is important to come to a compromising agreement with your partner about this type of communication to avoid mixed signals.
Don’t jump to conclusions.
During your comb through of your partner’s page, you may discover some things that you were never aware of, and naturally you may begin to jump to conclusions or assume things based upon the evidence in front of you. Instead of flying off the handle at something that may not be in line with what you’ve discussed previously, bring your concerns to your partner calmly and talk about what you observed on your partner’s page. You may find out that your assumptions where far off from the actual truth.
