How Social Media Destroys Your Relationship

Published

Spread the love

Social media has made it easier for people to know more about other peoples lives than ever before. Pictures of happy couples, usually tagged #couplegoals, have flooded social media blinding many young couples to the reality that people will only show what they want you to see. You only see the good times. No one shares their arguments, their bad moments or the numerous number of times they irritate each other. Couples only show the side that will bring them more likes and comments to gain social media popularity.

Social media can have a negative impact on relationships if misused. Excessive time spent, jealousy-inducing posts, privacy invasion, or online infidelity can strain trust and communication, potentially leading to relationship breakdowns.

The carefully curated images on social media can take a toll on your love life. Most times people compare their relationship to these social media relationships which look good on the outside and this has led to not only breakups but emotional abuse. You will end up putting pressure on your partner expecting them to be someone they are not, leaving you asking questions like “Why them, why not us? Why aren’t we doing this and that? Why don’t you do this like this person?”

It is important that you understand that no relationship is a bed of roses and comes with its ups and downs. Most importantly you have do what works for your relationship rather than comparing it to what you see on social media.

Here are some useful tips for you to apply in your relationship instead of comparing.

Find comfort within

Seeking validation or using others relationship to define yours is a sign that you do not have confidence in your current status. You might notice that everyone but you is getting worked up or others seem happier in their relationships than you. Don’t allow this to make you start questioning the state and progress of your relationship.

In order for you to feel more confident, fight the urge to let other couples benchmarks be a yardstick for measuring your relationship. Be happy in yours and put in efforts to make it work.

Avoid playing the blame game

Saying things like “Why aren’t we like that other couple?” or “If I was with him or her then things would be different,” only destroys the bond between you and your partner. It also breaks the trust since you blame your relationship challenges on your partner without taking responsibility.

Instead of putting the blame on your partner, focus on what you like about your connection. Remind yourselves of what made you fall in love. Go out of your way to do things for each other.

Get real with your friends

Swap relationship stories with your friends. Hearing them open up about their relationships and the struggles they face will kill any assumption you might have.

You and your friends will also be able to advise each other on how to handle the challenges you face. Sharing like this will give you a sense of relief as you realise that you are not alone. Ensure you do this with trusted friends who have your best interests at heart.

Turn jealousy into action

Your first reaction when you see those romantic getaways shared on social media might be envious however, you can turn this into positive action. Instead of letting that jealousy eat you up, organise a fun activity that you and your partner would enjoy taking part in.

Use these instances as reminders to get out and get active instead of spending countless hours online.

Take a break from social media

If you try everything else and it doesn’t work, take a break from social media for a few days or a couple of weeks. Spend this time reminding yourself of what really matters in life. Focus on being the best version of yourself and making things better in your life. And when you do go back online, unfollow anybody who doesn’t add value to your life.

Ossai Ovie Success, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, has publicly censured Sound City Radio and Television for what he deemed as an inappropriately attired female presenter.

After images of the presenter wearing a provocative outfit surfaced online, Ossai took to social media to express his disillusionment. “Sound City Radio, I’m appalled by your lack of decorum. Is this the standard of attire for your staff or guests? This is an affront to professionalism and a discredit to the industry. I expect a formal apology,” he wrote on Facebook.

Ossai’s post ignited a heated online discussion, with many weighing in on the importance of sartorial professionalism in the media. While some concurred that media organizations should maintain certain standards, others countered that fashion choices are a personal matter and should not define a professional’s competence.

Sound City Radio has yet to respond to the criticism, but the incident has rekindled the debate on dress codes in Nigeria’s media industry and how organizations strike a balance between self-expression and workplace ethics.

VIDEO: ‘Portable under spiritual attack’ – Elder sister claims

Spread the love

The elder sister of Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has publicly apologized to Nigerians for his controversial behaviour, alleging that a family member is spiritually influencing his actions.

In a viral video circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, the woman identified herself as Portable’s elder sister and expressed gratitude to the singer for his generosity. She revealed that he had supported her during a critical health challenge, ensuring her treatment and recovery.

She accused a certain family member, identified as Akeem, of being responsible for Portable’s erratic behavior. According to her, Akeem has also been targeting her, and she urged the public to hold him accountable if anything happened to her or the singer.

In her words:

“People of Nigeria, I greet you. Regarding my younger brother, I am his elder sister, the first child of his mother. She gave birth to three children.

Portable has never stolen. No one helped us in the past, but when he started making money, he took care of us.

I’ve never spoken out like this before, and he hasn’t even posted me despite being his sister. When I had health issues, Portable sent money for my treatment, even while he was in London.

Portable is the one taking care of the family. If not for him, I would have died.

If anything happens to me, Akeem is responsible. He is the one influencing Portable, making him misbehave and offend Nigerians.”

Following the video’s circulation, Nigerians took to the comment section to express their opinions:
