MAN’S WIFE ANGRY HE NEVER POST PHOTO OF HER ONLINE, “HOW WILL PEOPLE KNOW WE TOGETHER”

Wife is angry / annoyed because I don’t post on social media

As title, my wife and me had a small argument because I don’t upload photos of us on my social media account (Instagram Facebook etc.)

I mean I used to but over the years I don’t see a point to update my social media anymore. Her argument is that if I don’t update my social media how will people know if we are still together (we are married??)

i am a person that don’t really like to take photos and selfies meaning I will not initiate but if she wants to take a photo or selfie I would sometimes grumble. But I don’t mind if she post and tags me.

For special occasions I am fine, but not for everything. Am I weird in this age of social media? She also has a tendency to compare like why so and so husband or BF always post so sweet photos and I don’t.

I really don’t get this at all. Do I have to follow this clout chaser trend in order to please my wife?

Netizens’ comments

1. It has nothing to do with social media, it’s a deeper issue in the relationship. Your wife doesn’t feel like you value her.
   • I have to upvote this opinion, as a husband myself, that the issue is maybe OP isn’t filling the value part enough. It could be multitude of issues leading to this point: she’s being ignored, she’s not being listened to, OP stopped attention to small things, etc. OP needs to find out if he is truly fulfilling this aspect.
     However, maybe SG has a different social level aspect beyond my understanding. It could be just plain comparisons over better things people have over the internet and everyone wants clout.
     OP needs to speak to le spouse.
2. My boyfriend is the same as OP, I deleted Instagram because I got envious of my friends. Deleting it made me a happier person.
3. I don’t think it’s because she wants people to think that you are still married. That sounds like a poor explanation from her part. It may be that when you used to post in the past, it was like you were proud to be with her and you were showing her off to your friends. And she was really happy that you did that. Now that you stopped, it feels like she is no longer that special and not worth showing off and talking about. We all grew up in different ways and are wired differently so our love languages are different. Your posts may have been the affirmation that she craved and now their absence hurts her.
