The setup: Relationship experts say truly happy couples don’t feel the need to prove their relationship online.
#1 — Arguments: They don’t air disagreements or passive-aggressive complaints publicly.
#2 — “Couple Goals”: They don’t constantly post about how perfect or happy they are.
#3 — Every little gesture: Flowers, gifts and romantic moments don’t all need to become content.
#4 — Expensive gifts: They don’t constantly show off what their partner bought them.
#5 — Every memory: Not every date, vacation or night out needs to be documented.
Your take: Sometimes the more someone tries to convince everyone online that their relationship is perfect, the more you wonder what’s happening behind the scenes.
Personal story: The former coworker who constantly posted about how much he loved his wife—only to later reveal they were divorcing after he’d been having an affair.
Closer: Some moments are better when they’re just yours.
