To Post Bae or Not To Post Bae

Is it just me or are you guys noticing a decline in couples posting their bae/boo/significant other on their social media pages?

Now I'm not talking about Leroy or Keke that you met at the club last week or your bench warmers that you keep in your rotation, K?

I am speaking of bae that you are actually in a committed relationship with.

In the past, I would not have ever hesitated to post my partner on social media! I mean why the hell not, right??

At the time of the posts, I was happy and thought that I was in a loving and committed relationship and I posted out of love for my partner and our relationship. No harm in that, right??

Fast forward, the relationship failed and I started receiving all sorts of messages in my inbox saying "Oh Bae gone?" or "But I thought you guys were soooo happy and perfect. What happened?" I will spare you the details of my responses to those haters, K?? LOL

Because of the failure of my past relationship, I now refuse to post any pics of anyone!!! Like ever!!

I could have a wedding and never post it!! This is the result of my past experiences and that's ok.

Sometimes it's best to live blissfully in silence :)

So my question to you guys is, when is it safe to make your relationship "Instagram Official?"

At the 3-6 month mark or at the one year mark? After you are married?

Now I am an extremely private person and prefer to keep the intimate details of my relationship to myself. I think that doing this is imperative for all couples in order to protect the relationship.

On the other hand, I do not feel that anyone should have to hide pics either. In the past, for me posting pics was a loving gesture towards my relationship. Nothing more...nothing less.

Hell I was happy and didn't know what was to come LOL

It saddens me to know that if you do decide to post a pic of bae, people love to speculate and insinuate that you are saying that your relationship is perfect, and try to tear the relationship apart merely based of off a freaking photo.

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy seeing the pics of happy couples doing them.

In my opinion, posting a pic of bae should not make or break your relationship...periodt.

Believe it or not, not everyone is into social media and may feel that posting their relationship feeds other people's curiosity, thus leaving them feeling as though they have to constantly justify the relationship.

So with all of that being said, I guess I feel that couples should decide together when and if they want to post pics on social media and also decide what is off limits to post.

What are your thoughts??
