How a Changing Man Behaves on Social Media: 4 Red Flags

We share our joint photos, change statuses, tell everyone about birthdays, communicate with the second half during the day – all this only benefits the union.

However, according to experts, some of the photos posted by your boyfriend or husband may be red flags that you are having relationship problems that could end badly.

Here are the nuances to pay attention to.

For example, from the gym or the beach – and always those on which the abs are visible, of which he is very proud. According to clinical psychologist Lisa Stroman, posting overly sexualized images shows a person needs attention and violates the boundaries of monogamous relationships to do so.

Lisa advises to talk to your partner about it: ask him why he posts such photos, and tell him what you think. She also notes that it is very important not to take an accusatory position in such a conversation, but to communicate with interest and sympathy.

If your boyfriend is active on social media, but never mentions you or posts your shared photos on the page, that’s reason to be suspicious. Relationship coach and psychotherapist Susan Trotter thinks this could mean the man is dating someone else and hiding your relationship.

You are also unlikely to like another possible explanation: perhaps the partner is afraid of condemnation from friends and relatives, which means that he does not consider you the most suitable couple and does not believe not to the strength and longevity of your relationship.

Are you happy that every morning he tells the whole world that he is incredibly happy to wake up with you in the same bed? In vain! According to Trotter, such messages indicate that a man needs the approval of your relationship “from the outside” and the admiration of others, and this usually occurs when a person lacks real intimacy.

Maybe it’s his co-worker, girlfriend or tango partner – in other words, there’s nothing wrong with their dating. However, according to relationship expert and divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, such photos could mean that a person has started to “emotionally invest in someone else”.

However, she and Stroman advise avoiding jumping to conclusions and talking with your partner, sharing your observations and asking for clarification.
