Do your other half post you?

How you do you in your everyday life? Like do you feel loved and appreciated? My honey doesn’t have social media but I do. I didn’t post him for the first year we were together. It wasn’t malicious. I adore him. I just didn’t want to share him. He’s on my page now tho. And I post him in my story.

@Kris I do but when it comes to these days he never makes any effort. He left it until yesterday to get me a Mother’s Day gift and he told me he was going to get me something but then never did. He never makes any effort with my birthday eventhough he knows I’ve had really bad ones in the past. I just wish he would make these days more special like I always make them special for him. I do tell him as well

Neither of us have ever posted the other or the kids, even on special days like our wedding day, christmases or mothers/father’s day.

My boyfriend never posts about me either. I sometimes think it would be nice if he did but if i mention it he says he doesn’t see the point.. which i totally understand. He isn’t much of a social media person and only posts things when we go on holiday, which is hardly ever 😂

Just cause you see someone writing long paragraphs on social media doesn’t mean they have a good relationship. The way I see it, couples that make posts like that are trying to convince someone they’re happy, whether it’s other people or themselves, I don’t know. But it sounds like you’re not talking about social media posts, it’s the lack of attention in general. Be honest with him about how you feel

My partner uses social media to watch funny videos of people doing dumb things, he doesn’t post unless we sell something on marketplace 🤣 I rarely post anything but I don’t post him and we’ve been together for 8 years! It’s just never been our thing, we have a close relationship in private and make the most of our quality time. Don’t compare yourself to others, 9 times out of 10 people who post soppy dedications to eachother on socials are either told to or overcompensating. If you have a fulfilling relationship, don’t sweat it!

I think for you, seeing the posts is just the icing on the cake on how shitty he is w occasions in general. I think if he was to appreciate you properly then the posts wouldn’t bother you so much. But because the bar for him is so low and he doesn’t make you feel special for every occasion, seeing those posts just make you feel worse. Tell him exactly what you want for next occasions coming, or buy yourself some things, treat yourself, and post and make a “Happy Mothers Day to me” post while appreciating all the other mums by saying Happy Mothers Day to everyone too. We do so much for the kids but I’m not letting any man make me feel shit for doing so. Make it that day that you want Xx

My husband is a silent witness on social media 😂😂 he uses it for messenger and to keep in touch and will randomly post memories etc but never posts day to day. I only post occasionally but I’m more active than him. It really doesn’t bother me and if I’m being honest the men I see posting their women on a daily make me feel uneasy, maybe from personal experience but most of the time they’re sleeping around and want their woman to be less suspicious so they think posting them will make it look like they’re loyal when they aren’t 😂

I think some people are more emotionally inclined than others to show PDA. To me, I think it’s a bit cringy, like why do you need to verify your feelings in front of a following. It’s a bit boastful if you ask me.

My partner asked me if Mother’s Day had an apostrophe today… I thought he was finally posting something cute for me… Nope. Just texting his mum. I felt a bit crap

My partner never posts anything 😂 I think if he actively always posted I’d want a little something, but as he doesn’t it’s as if he doesn’t have SM.

I don't need it to be posted on social media, for me to know I'm a good mum, & a good wife. Does he buy you anything for these special days or go out of his way to make it feel special? I think that is more important that posting something online

I also think, if you post something once, you have to keep it up for the next year and year after that because if you stoped it would look like there’s a problem

Have you said something to them about how it makes you feel? It might be they don’t realise it would mean something to you

My husband doesn't post anything, ever. I post sometimes but I match his energy and don't post soppy birthday or father's day messages. Our anniversary is probably the exception

@Kath no not really he left it until last minute to get me a gift but then said he couldn’t find anything worth buying
