1. YOU POST ALL YOUR MOMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA:
Close friends likely don’t mind seeing photos of the two
of you all dressed up at a wedding or on a tropical
vacation together. But it’s not necessary to make your
boyfriend your ‘Man Crush Monday’ every single week.
In fact, consider it a social media mistake.
2. YOU FRIENDS KNOW ALL THE DETAILS OF YOUR
RELATIONSHIP: It’s important for your friends to know
that you couldn’t make the movie on Friday night
because you were celebrating your one-year anniversary
with your significant other; but if they know your S.O.’s
favorite childhood book or how they take their coffee,
chances are you’re sharing too much.
3. BUT YOU DON’T KNOW THE DETAILS OFYOUR
FRIENDS RELATONSHIPS: If you find that your friend
knows a lot more details about your significant other
than you do about theirs, try making the conversation
more even. When you mention something about your
partner, try asking a question about your friend’s
S.O.,too.
4. YOU TRY TO MAKE OTHERS JEALOUS USING YOUR
RELATIONSHIP: You talk about your relationship way
too much if you’re always letting people know that you
have a significant other or that your partner is taken. If
people don’t ask, they typically don’t want to hear about
it. (Are you making people jealous just because you’re
secretly concerned about your relationship’s stability?
5. YOU’RE BOTHERED ABOUT HOW OTHERS VIEW
YOUR RELATIONSHIP: If you constantly want to get
other people’s advice on things that your partner does
or doesn’t do, it could be a sign that you talk about your
relationship too much. You should be dating your
significant other because she makes you happy, not
because of what someone else thinks. (Here are signs
that you may be in a toxic relationship.)
