One thing most couples complain about these days is that instead of spending quality time with each other, the partners are constantly hooked on to the social media to know what is going on in the lives of others. This can cause a dent in the relationship, as communication is very important to sustain a relationship. It is important therefore, that you spend considerable time with your close ones and limit the time you spend on the internet. The biggest threat social media poses to a relationship is that credibility of a person cannot be gauged on a social media site. This can make people create fake profiles, post incorrect information about themselves, manipulate facts and exaggerate the truth. Developing relationship with such individuals has its own risks as these people can take undue advantage of others. Relationships developed on social media tend to be casual and this can lead to emotional turmoil and heartburn in case you trust someone blindly. It has also been observed it is easier for individuals to indulge in confrontation on social media as compared to face-to-face confrontation. These were some of the ways in which social media can affect a relationship. Technology is here to stay and one cannot blame it for our lack of understanding.
