To think that if couples post regular photos

Of themselves all loved up on Facebook, that they arent really all that happy?

Oops, not sure what happened there! Split up a couple of months ago up to the neck in debt and with her shagging anything that moves for months.

It’s not always the case though. I adore my husband and we have a fantastic relationship. I do write gushy updates about him on occasion (birthday, anniversary etc) but we also do have a lot of ‘banter’ (hate that word!) online too. We’re not hiding a miserable relationship, just recording our memories to look back on in years to come. So I do agree to some extent but also there are exceptions of couples who are just genuinely happy.

Other than my first boyfriend as a teenager ive tried not to post too many coupley pics as I know they mean over compensation! When I'm happy, I don't feel the need, when I'm unhappy, I just don't do it in case people can see. I split up with someone in July and a lot of people barely realise- kept it private.

Checking my insta & the only exceptions to this were ex DPs last birthday and our first holiday- both of which were happy times, just got a bit snap happy. . The pics of us together are pretty well spaced out, I'd say, too as I consciously didn't want to spam.

I post quite a few pictures selfies of DH and I, we travel and do lots of activities together and I love seeing the '1 year ago you were doing....' reminders on FB. After years of being poorly it reminds me how far I've come to be active and living life.

We're very happy :)

I adore my DP, we get married soon and I am guilty of super happy posting. A friend of mine told me that it made us look as though we were over compensating (she knows we’re not, she is a dear friend) I laughed and said I don’t care cos I don’t! I am the luckiest person in the world x

Quite often the couples who post the most on social media are secretly the unhappiest. Not always the case obviously.

I have a good friend who makes her relationship look perfect on social media but it’s far from the truth in real life.

The biggest giveaway is the FB photo of 2 half finished drinks and a gushy post.

Also, close 2nd is gushy post with pic of a bored and red-eyed looking man.

Uh oh.
