In a world where we are all increasingly reliant on and addicted to technology, it can be hard to not to let it run our relationships.As relationships migrate onto social media, some bad habits can develop that end up being detrimental to your relationship. Here are three \u201cdigital don\u2019ts\u201d to help you keep your relationship at its best while also sharing all those cute moments with your friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t obsess over your S.O. liking and commenting on every post you make.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a post about your trip to Florida over winter break or a post about your anniversary, do not obsess over exactly when your S.O. likes and comments on it! While it\u2019s really nice to have those supportive comments, and to get the notification that they liked it, let it be a nice surprise that brightens your day. Allowing something so trivial to make you upset won\u2019t be good for your relationship. Your S.O. is with you because they like you; you don\u2019t need the \u201clike\u201d icon to tell you that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t cyber-stalk your ex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Constantly looking at their profile and overthinking what they\u2019re posting about is not going to make you feel better. More importantly, it is definitely not going to help the relationship that you\u2019re in now. If you\u2019re not in that relationship anymore, then it\u2019s for a reason. Trust that things are turning out as they\u2019re supposed to, and leave the past behind. If you feel like you can be friends with your ex, and you follow each other or are friends on social media, then that\u2019s great! Just be sure that it doesn\u2019t become toxic or a detriment to you, your mental health, and your relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t allow social media to consume the time you have together.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re with your S.O., be fully with them. Don\u2019t spend the entire time scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, whatever. Resist the urge to check other people\u2019s Snapchat stories. While you may get to see each other every day when we\u2019re all here at RC, that time is eventually going to come to an end. Make sure you don\u2019t regret spending less time looking at your phone and more time being fully present with your S.O.<\/span><\/p>\n

BONUS: Don\u2019t use Snap Maps to track your S.O.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just don\u2019t. If you want to know where they are, ask. If you have to use Snap Maps to get the truth instead of a conversation, then you\u2019ve got bigger problems than where your S.O. is at.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
