What’s “normal” to share on social media?

I use “normal” in brackets as everyone has their own social media normal 😂

I was told this weekend that it was “unusual” to not have published my relationship on Facebook. I use social media quite a lot but my bf and I don’t check in every five minutes and as we have teenage kids and overlapping circles of exes and friends we just kind of kept things quiet when we started dating and it’s now the norm several years down the line.

After a very public divorce, I kind of enjoy the privacy.

I do see friends posting loved up photos of people they date and especially when there is a special place involved and sometimes we are talking second or third date and to me that just feels a little soon....

I don’t think you’re unusual in the slightest. Take no bloody notice.

Shame your friends don’t update their status to attention seeking twats Grin

I don't post any relationship status, anything negative or work related. I'll tell the people I want to know in person. I think too many people air their dirty laundry on social media. Better to have an air of mystery Wink
