Getting in Fights over the 'little things'

Recently, couples have been fighting over each others activities on social media. Should a girl be upset with her boyfriend if his 'Top 3' snap chat friend is another girl? or vise versa? It may seem like no big deal to the older generation but to generation Y, every move you make on social media is tracked.

Some common fights have occurred because:

1. Your significant other 'liked' an person of the opposite sex's picture
2. You significant other 'followed' on Instagram a hot/sexy model
3. Other people are 'liking' you significant others material on social networks
4. Your significant other is Facebook messaging an individual of the opposite sex
5. THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON...the main common ground here is that anything your significant other does with a person of the opposite sex will get him/her in trouble.

 

The problem is that there is nothing you can do. Social Media, whether you like it or not, is going to continue getting more and more popular. My advice is to,'don't sweat the small stuff'. You can make yourself go crazy if you try to monitor your significant others activity on every social media outlet. So, step away from the screen and go for a walk outside or find another hobby. Another option is to get off social media. This would force you to invest your time in a different outlet and it will hopefully decrease your stress level.
