In a relationship with…

In a relationship with...

The girlfriend’s POV: You’re on Facebook and you check your boyfriend’s relationship status, smiling to yourself hoping it says “In a relationship with <place name here>” but instead you see “single”. You totally lose it with text messages and phone calls to your very confused (and hopefully innocent) boyfriend.

The boyfriend’s POV: Your phone is ringing and vibrating with rants from your very mad girlfriend (who you ultimately ignore) until you actually read one of the many texts sent to you out of curiosity. What goes through your mind? “Seriously?”

When you are in a relationship, everything seems like it’s going perfectly, the birds are singing, the wild animals dance happily, and the sky is bluer than before. Until one small thing happens and you go on a rampage like Godzilla attacking Tokyo (yeah, it’s that bad). What set you off into such a horrible state? Your boyfriend’s relationship status didn’t change from being “single”. Now don’t you think that’s ridiculous?

Having to change your facebook relationship status is something very bothersome, in my opinion, and there is no point in doing that. I mean, really, you are dating the guy, but the problem seems to be the girlfriends freaking out about not being known by the world that you’re dating <place name here>. What’s the big deal? I wouldn’t really care whether or not my boyfriend changes his relationship status, I’m happy knowing that I’m dating the guy and you should be too.

Though I’m against this kind of behavior for such a trivial thing, I can see why they would go mad. Honestly, not having other people know that you’re dating that person is very frustrating, especially if people that you only see on the internet don’t know. Telling about it all over a social network is also one way to spread the news of your relationship, so in a way, it makes sense.

We all want to have the relationship to work and not over something like a relationship status that you were too lazy to change. So it will be better to talk to your boyfriend (or girlfriend) about this little problem and see if they will change it. In other words, make a compromise and understand each other (wow, this sounds cheesy).

In relationships, it’s ridiculous to fight with your significant other about the relationship status not being changed. So try to keep your cool and try to understand the others lack of showing of your relationship.

    facebook is the biggest relationship machete.
    relationship status…. very controlling and damaging to a relationship.
    get off facebook and have a real relationship and certainly don’t befriend every friggin person you come across. once they delete you as their friend for whatever reason….OMG…. you’ve lost control over that person! they deleted you before you could delete them! we all have consequences to publishing everything little thing in our life on facebook. my advice (as a been there done that myself person) is to get the heck away from it. don’t try to control your boyfriend or girlfriend…. enjoy the friendship…. hey…they probably (statistically) won’t be the one you end up marrying anyways. enjoy being a kid and a teenager and a college kid…. life moves too fast to get all upset about someone’s relationship status. best wishes! 🙂
