Are you obsessed with letting your followers know what is going on with your relationship? Social media has a way of creating insecurities, and millennials somehow find a need to present themselves and their relationships in a positive light, even if their life is going downhill . Most of these toxic behaviors can cause real harm to relationships. But, millennials who take these “perfect” relationships to serious can end up making unreasonable demands on their partners. Making those demands can cause the partner to distance them selves.

There is not a rule book with social media and intimate relationships. With Snapchat,Twitter, and Instagram you can see what a person is thinking and doing at any time.
It could be easy to burn photos or an article of clothing of an ex after a bad breakup. But it is not so simple throw your phone in the blinder and think that everything will disappear. It is hard to get over someone when constancy seeing them on your timeline. Constantly having the urge of wanted to check on someone’s social media account can be toxic and limits a person on moving on.

Can having too many social networking sites ruin a relationship ? Should a person in relationship only have a certain type of social media account ? Have a Twitter and not a Facebook or have a Instagram and not a Snapchat ?
Research suggest that having over more than four social media platforms can cause damage to a relationship. Social Media can be used positively for the couples that like to share their lives more immediately with more of their extended family. However, when it comes to the actual loving and intimacy of their relationship, some things are best done in person and kept off social media. Self-awareness, regular real-life communication, and setting boundaries are key in deciding how social media over usage might be affecting your and your partner's relationship satisfaction. Online social media is what you make of it.

It has been said that millennials have lost the ability to interact in a verbal setting because of how much time they spend on their phones. With the several different social media apps such as Tinder, Facebook and Instagram it’s made it easy for millennials to just swipe though profiles and either accept or deny other people based off of physical appearance or personal information based of their page. 
Are college students losing the ability to hold steady relationships?” Is our isolation and lack of real conversation, slowly declining dating? The college “hookup culture” is a major factor of social life on most campuses. If people spend too much time with your head down in a screen they might miss out on someone great that just passed by.

Personally ,I can not go a day without going on any social social media app without seeing someone talk about “#RealtionshipGoals”. People normally say relationship goals after they see a couple doing something they wished would happen in their current or future relationship. I find it to be somewhat insane because all you see is just a snip-it of a couples relationship not the entire thing. Nobody really knows what is going on with their relationship , but them.
To some millennials, a relationship means having a connection with someone and being able to show off the success of that relationship on social media.We live in a world now of instant gratification and its to be believed that Instagram does have play a role in that. People have a habit of being focused on Instagram couples and wanting to meet certain goals and requirements, then ultimately getting lost in something that isn't even real.

Ghosting is a trend that has came became popular among millennials. This trend is when someone just ends a romantic relationship with no explanation. This term has ruined communication skills with the younger generation. It is sometimes argued that this term is not new. However, the difference nowadays is that people will talk and text for weeks, sometimes months, making the disconnect extremely difficult. From personal experience, I can say that this could be very confusing because you are not sure why your partner just stopped talking to you out of the blue. This could create unwanted anxiety because you are constantly checking your phone for a text or phone call.

There are several different types of attachment styles that can be displayed in a romantic relationship. All of these styles can be shown on social media.It has been said that anxiously attached people will post about their relationships, because they feel insecure in real life. However, I think that it is extremely important to keep in mind that a person can’t hind behind a phone all their life instead of solving their problems.

This blogger discusses how her sessions are filled with stories about how social media interferes with her millennial clients’ romantic relationships. Something as simple as a date night can turn into nothing but conversation about social media about likes , follows, and views. Some people might have problems with social media boundaries, but it doesn't have to be if both people talk about discomfort, checking in and quality time.

Are millennials truly the cause of the death of relationships? I believe saying that millennials have killed the idea of having a real relationship is a little bit too dramatic. Millennials do have more freedom when it comes to relationships than any generation has ever had before. Relationships do not really have had a solid structure that each person is expected to follow, or at least pretend to follow. People are meeting their soul mates over a right swipe on tinder or a follow on twitter. This structure is made for some people, but not for everyone.

In my opinion, it is safe to say that millennials have shaped their romantic lives around texting social media and video chat, and opt out of phone calls and in-person communication.However, is this the smartest approach to dating though? The use of social media in relationships has the now eased the pressure of finding something to bond over in the beginning stages.It’s important to have a clear balance between your love of technology and social media and being emotionally there with a love interest or partner in real life. If the balance is done correctly technology can be a great tool to help you meet “the one” and remain connected with your partner.

In the beginning of this article, the author states that the reason she wrote the post was because some of the people that she was around talked about how social media has affected their relationship. This reminded her of her past relationships and how insecure she was in a because of social media. She discusses what some guys told her, how what she saw on social media made her feel personally and both the negatives and the positives. This article made me reflect on why I chose my topic in the first place.

How has facebook change the way the we interact with each other ? Change can become a positive or negative thing. This article discusses the beneficial and negative influences Facebook has had on relationships. I found it interesting to compare both the negative and positive outlooks.

In this blog the author discusses the negative influences that social media has on relationships. Her main talking topic is how social media is causing millennials to surveillance each other , which can turn into stalking. I find it kind of weird that when a partner in the relationship begin stalking their lover to see what they are doing or even their location. Social media platforms have made some people feel the need to become more territorial against their partner. It is disturbing that some millenniums are mostly on their phones constantly just to check their significant others profile.

This author describes how social media can both positively and negatively affect a romantic relationship. Verbally discussing with your partner to discuss their social media preferences could possibly avoid most major issues. However, it has been said that some people don’t say anything at all because of the fear of finding out. The term fear of finding out comes into play when you look for something upsetting that’s not always there. I believe that this could create paranoia and creating arguments just to get a reaction.
