3 of those stories were a gf who would make me post her but here’s the part that should matter to u, she would then complain that because she had told me to post her they didn’t feel as special. So just like be careful what u ask for

well why do you think posting your partner is embarrassing? just like everyone asking about it or what?

Some people just don’t really like being on social media that much, are there other ways your boyfriend can make you feel loved that don’t involve him posting you on his profile?

other than posting i am very happy in our relationship, we're very open with each other about our pasts/communicating our feelings and making it known how loved we are and how happy we are in the relationship. that's literally my only problem

it is a level of vulnerability that I don’t like (if it doesn’t work out I look like boo-boo the fool) but more importantly it took 6 months for me to here the name Melanie without wanting to cry even when they weren’t talking about my Melanie. I felt like an idiot for having loved and lost. It would’ve been a lot worse if more ppl knew about our relationship. I get anxious about posting a relationship bc of that and I don’t get any gratification from posting and flaunting her online.

I know she’s hot and pretty and I look happy with her. I don’t care to flaunt to make sure everyone else knows that. Every one is different but I wanted to add this to show that there are many reasons not to post your partner. Also I will do a post but it could be a friendly post if we’re out having fun that day bc PDA and lovely dovey claiming people and flirting publicly online grosses me out, but everyone is dif and valid

Anyways, OP, I think you should have a talk with him about this since it’s an issue for you. One compromise is “close friends” story on insta for example. He can create a list of close people that matter, and post about you on there!

well actually that's why i brought it up here because i have been posted on his close friends i was just wondering if i was over reacting about the public story part, i should've said that lol

i would be fine with that but it was only once a couple months ago after a concert we went to, i think it would also be good to note that we've only been together 4 months and 2 of those months have been long distance so i guess it's circumstantial atm

Personally I believe 4 months is too early to be posting about someone they are seeing. Close friends is a good indicator that he values you and is ok with close friends knowing, but not all the random people that are insignificant to his life

As in, to all the insignificant hundreds/thousands of people on social media, don’t need to know my private life
