Why do people put their relationships on blast?

I don’t see why you would need to update your Facebook or make a post on Tumblr about the argument(s) you and your significant other had. Then get a bunch of questions asking what happened and you getting into details about that happened. I mean, really? Smh.

I would never do something like that. It’s not even about me wanting to put up a front about my relationship and making it seem like it’s better than it actually is. I just don’t feel like other people need to know about my business. A relationship consists of two people. Just my significant other and I. Not you, you or you. So if you’re going to put your relationship on blast, expect other people to get all up in your business. Don’t tell them to shut the fuck up and mind their own business when you’re the one giving them reasons to talk. You have yourself to blame for that.

Don’t even get me started with those couples who constantly change their statuses on Facebook. From “_____ is in a relationship with _____ ” and then to “_____ went from being in a relationship to single.” I believe in breaks I really do, but when was it ever healthy to be in a relationship where the two of you are constantly fighting, breaking up and making up? On and off relationships just seem too unhealthy to me. Why can’t you just fix your relationship and make sure everything’s stable first before changing your statuses on Facebook since apparently it’s really important to the both of you.
