Relationships are already difficult to maintain whether you show them off or whether you hide them, complications of a third person will always be something you have to be able to deal with but what is important is taking the time to understand and get to know each other by mastering the art of communication.
As past relationships show, being in the public eye or social media with your partner opens you up for scrutiny and people’s opinions of your relationship or your partner therefore it shouldn’t matter what other people say but what you share with your partner.
Most cases it is never planned to officially introduce your partner but in other cases your partner has reasons to. “Anytime a partner shows you off to friends, at office parties or company dinners, or to parents and relatives, it’s because they want approval and to show you off, as well as to integrate you into this very important part of their lives,” explains relationship expert, Masini.
Although it feels like we have to share our lives on social media, it doesn’t mean you have to live your life by social media rules, in most cases partners believe in different things and each should respect that, like being an introvert dating an extrovert, explaining the type of person you are around people and how you like displaying your relationship on social media would be the best way to go about.
Take all the time you need. If it’s the right relationship for you the perfect time shouldn’t matter.
