Always the girlfriend people seem to be ashamed of...

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on why this might keep happening to me.
With all of my previous partners I never seem to get a mention on Facebook etc but if you look at their posting history they seem to have gone over the top saying how wonderful their previous partners have been and lots of photos etc
Do you think this is an indication that they are ashamed of me?

Because Facebook is shite! And projects to the world what you want to be seen

Ignore it.

I think it's the opposite 👍🏼

One old friend of mine, her dh is not a gushy or openly lovey dovey person at all, and not massively social media savvy or eloquent - his posts are usually in all-caps, using only the spelling THERE - but every now and then he'll write something just lovely, simply saying what she has done and that he's proud of her. It's clearly from the heart and rather touching. Much nicer than constant gushing.

DH and I aren't friends on Facebook and don't follow each other on Instagram either.

My view is that the relationships for show have no substance, it's like over the top PDAs, who exactly are you doing it for?

I don't get the people who post pictures of their DC doing something and tag their DP, if I want DH to see the moment I just WhatsApp the picture to him Hmm

I don't need to tag DH Facebook to wish him happy birthday or to let him know I love him, he's usually sat in the same room so I just tell him Grin

IMO I think it's more likely that he's more into you and sees you as a longer term thing that he doesn't want to jinx Grin

IME men don't post that stuff for their own amusement, they do it to keep their OH's happy. If you aren't into social media why would they bother?
