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.
