Hi all,
I do not have instagram, or facebook; mainly because I do not agree with the over arching ethos of sharing your private life or pictures with 'friends' or the slippery slope into seeking public approval (likes etc) or presenting yourself as always happy and perfect on Instgram (for example). I know this view is not shared by all.
For myself I just prefer to not have accounts. My partner, however, is quite active on instagram and uses it alot. Quite a number of her pictures are of both of us - and for the most part I accept that and do not really have a great issue with it. However sometimes I think the pictures she posts of both of us are straying too far into being an 'open book' of our private life. Yesterday we were at home and she took a selfie of us just sat at home on the sofa. This then ended up on instagram today - it was a caption saying she loved me (which I fully appreciate and am thankful for!) and with us both kissing. Now I really am not one for public displays of affection and I also don't like this being broadcast to instagram - it was a private moment for us. If I saw other people post such pictures I would wonder why they feel the need to put them online, as I certainly would not be interested.
I tried to raise it with my fiance - but it didn't go down too well! I just wanted to say that for some pictures I would prefer they are not posted and they are kept private. Am I being unreasonable?
