Too
many couples seem to need the excitement of drama and/or the support
of others when they�re going through happy times or not so happy
times. Other people just need the attention that will come their way
when everyone else finds out exciting
details of their relationship. When you�re tempted to blab all
of the details of your relationship all over Facebook, you should
keep in mind that you could actually be putting your relationship in
jeopardy.
The
main reason for that is the more people, strangers or non-strangers
that you allow into your relationship, the less chance there is that
it will work out the way you were hoping. Couples should figure out
their own issues in their relationships. If they can�t do that on
their own, they should see someone professional for help, like a
counselor. Someone trained to help couples with their problems stand
a better chance of getting them resolved and remaining
together.
When
you draw in your personal friends as well as Facebook friends that
you barely know, your relationship stands a chance of being ruined
for all time. These friends only know one side of the story: yours.
In addition, since they�re on your friends lists, they�re going
to take your side in things. Now, while you may not want to admit or
accept it, there is a slight chance that you�re the one in the
wrong. However, your friends are going to encourage you into
believing that everything happened just as you said it did, and there
will be no true resolution because you�re going to continue
believing that you did nothing wrong.
The
problem here is that, rarely, is the wrong doing on the side of just
one partner. Typically, in most situations, both partners have
contributed to the argument, breakup, or whatever has gone wrong in
the relationship. While your Facebook brings are boosting your side
of the story, you can bet that your partner�s friends are boosting
his. This only stirs things up and makes the situation much worse
than it already was.
Do
yourself, your partner and your relationship a favor, and keep your
details off of your Facebook page. When you need to straighten
something out within your relationship, it should stay between the
two of you and not a thousand people that are, for the most part,
strangers in your lives. They�re not going to really help fix
things.
Your
Facebook friends are certainly there to share your joys and triumphs
as well as your sorrows and heartaches. However, there will always be
some things that you just shouldn�t share where it can be sent all
through the universe. Some things should be kept only between you and
your partner. They may eventually be shared with others, but there
will always be things that will and should remain between you and
your partner. That�s part of the fun of being a couple. You can
have things just for the two of you that will make your relationship
even more intimate. Keep this in mind when you are tempted to
broadcast your relationship to all of your Facebook friends.
