6. Mean jokes about your significant other
Social media is famously bad at transmitting tone. And the tone is the only difference between a flirtatious jab among lovers and a cruel jibe at your loved one’s expense. Without the context that you share as a couple, people aren’t going to see the humour in your partner’s uncanny ability to get lost in his own hometown. They’ll just see disrespect.
7. Pictures of pricey presents.
That’s great if your partner can afford diamonds and jewels and Apple products. Showing those gifts off on social media is a big mistake, though.
Class resentment is a real and powerful force in our culture. Even if you don’t make your friends hate you, you might simply make them feel bad that they can’t afford such a fancy present.
8. Passive-aggressive notes about your partner.
If you have a problem with your partner, talk it out in person. Throwing vague clues to the hounds of social media is just going to make things worse.
