CAPTION: If you and your partner have mutually decided to enter a committed relationship, as opposed to a FWB, casual dating, or hookup situation, then it shouldn't be a secret (unless, of course, there are reasons you two have chosen to keep it under wraps, away from familial and social pressures, etc.) However, if that is not the case with your relationship, yet they won't introduce you to friends as a significant other, then consider it a red flag. If you are spending time on this relationship, then you deserve recognition. Does your partner consider you a placeholder, and doesn't want to appear tied down in case someone else comes along? Are they lying about monogamy to multiple partners, and have to keep it secret? Are they embarrassed by the relationship because your appearance or gender defies social norms? You should only be with someone who respects you and is proud to be with you. #lovesexrelationship #iammichaelothniel #rubbinminds #iamvjadams (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/BudIuponvhss6qf0Bn4hW58Zu8gTZ2U7jMHuxQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g8ygoithf1yg
