#relationship problems.

Why do we have to show affection by posting it online?

This is something that has been bothering me for a while and I really need to vent about it.

Facebook is both an angel and a blessing at the same time (though sometimes I argue more towards a demon) in the fact that you can share anything with the world. You can share artwork online, track events happening near you, keep in contact with long distant friends and even contact friends that you lost.  However, people can get a little hungry when it comes to sharing everything. Especially when it comes to relationships.  Facebook at one time didn't exist (duh) so how did people share what their significant others get them or do something for them with their 500 friends?

They didn't. They just didn't. And I don't think they had an urge to. Sure, they would maybe show off to their friends and gush about how loving their boyfriend/girlfriends is. But to strangers and friends they hardly knew, it didn't matter, and it shouldn't matter; So why do people find it necessary to do that now? Why do I have to post things that my boyfriend does for me (and visa-versa), when I already tell him how appreciative I am and how happy I am to him. Why does it matter that I post about things we do just to get 'likes' of a few comments saying 'awwwwwww!'? 

I'd rather be thankful that my boyfriend loves the gift I got him and that's all that should matter. I don't care about what others think, and honestly I don't really need all of my friends knowing that every time we go on an outing we had a great time. It should be a given if you're happy; it could lead to a lot of lies in a relationship at that point. And if I'm really happy about something or excited, I should post on my own terms. I shouldn't wake up with texts saying: 'you never make status's about me' or 'you never posted about that gift I gave you'. It's forceful and honestly quite annoying. 

All i'm really asking is why do people think it's an obligation to have to post about everything considering their/your relationship online?

I'm so upset with you. You don't even know.

You know someone cares when they say they will do their best to make an effort and save up money just to come see you if you have to move away.

... For some reason I feel funny. But I'm not looking for a relationship right now. I don't understand what... to do. :c

Fuck. Do you know how overprotective I get of people? VERY. I'm still so overprotective of you, it's just in my nature. I'm too sweet. I'm too mother-like. I understand that. 

But sometimes I... I just get so worked up over nothing because of you! I see you post something and know that you couldn't possibly be thinking of me because of what I did. And when you say something about liking someone else I just about want to die and rip my lungs out. 

Yesterday, holy shit, yesterday. I almost threw my fist at the wall. I never get that angry over anything! I'm usually a calm person. But when it comes to you, I'm not.

Goddamnit, you aren't mine anymore. Why the fuck do I feel this way? I don't fucking get it! I want to throw my head at a wall of bricks to get my mind to shut the fuck up for five minutes!

I don't know why, but it feels like we're breaking up. I don't want to, at all. And we aren't going to break up anytime soon, hopefully. But it's just...I don't know. I just don't fucking know anymore.

I lose at everything.

I dont know what you're doing to me. One day you're crying and apologizing to me, and the next day you're completely blowing me off and ignoring my calls and texts. I'm worried about what you're doing and you dont even care one bit..I get no notification and there's no way I could trust you if this whole time you're missing without telling me anything. You tell me brb, and its been hours with you not coming back..I say we have an opportunity to hang out and say its an emergency but you dont even reply to that. What are you even doing? I don't even feel like I'm in a relationship anymore, I'm more lonely than I ever was when I was single, and we scream, fight, and completely misunderstand eachother. You spend more time with friends, and I don't have a say in anything. I'm just here alone, and I've been like this for the past 3 days. I've had enough crying. Why havent I broken up with you? Am I that weak? Do I love you that much? It's like my independence is gone and I feel like I'm about to go crazy and overthink everytime you just ignore me or don't reply. I blast your phone trying to call you and no reply. Nothing. I'm just ignored. I don't know what to do..
