How flirting on social media can ruin your relationship

So
you enjoy sharing beautiful snaps of yourself and this one person always pops
up in your comments with flirtatious remarks. Sounds harmless right? What if we
told you this was unhealthy for your relationship?

It
may be considered as unfaithfulness

Whilst other couples are totally
fine with their partners flirting, others consider this as a deal breaker –
different strokes for different folks. If you’re honestly contented with your
relationship, there should be no reason for you to entertain such. For obvious
reasons, your partner might feel betrayed.

Less
attention for your partner

Flirting is exciting and often we
tend to ignore our significant others when we’re getting some attention
elsewhere. Dedicating less time for your partner will affect the overall health
of your union and intimacy.

You’ll
have second thoughts

Hearing sweet nothings from another
person might make you have second thoughts about your current partner. This
will give you an opportunity to see how another person would treat you if you
were to date; all of a sudden your partner will seem not good enough.

Stalker
mode activated

Chances are your partner knows you
and how you interact with people on social media. He’ll definitely notice a
change in your behaviour which can lead him to start snooping through your
messages.

The
urge to be with someone else

Social
media flirting has a way of creating thoughts in your head. One of the thoughts
includes imagining how you’d look as a couple with the person you’re flirting
with. Eventually this has a potential of building emotional connection.
