Facebook is a great way to stay connected with friends and family, but the thing that irritates me is when a couple uses it to live out their relationship. I think we have all had an annoying Facebook friend who lives to post status updates and change their profile picture every two days. But I’m referring to the friend that loves her boyfriend so much she can’t help but post about how perfect and amazing he is.

Why do you have to post on your significant other’s Facebook page confessing your love for them?  That is great that you love them so much, but I don’t think the rest of your 682 friends want to see it come up on their homepage.

I’m not a relationship hater, but couples do not have to profess their love for one another over the Internet.  Whatever happened to throwing rocks outside their bedroom window to talk or serenading them with a guitar solo?  Have a private moment with your significant other because, sorry to break it to you, they will most likely be the only one who cares.

Remember “The Notebook”?  The two main characters fell in love and had a relationship that ended up lasting a lifetime.  But here’s the kicker: when their relationship was at its best, it was when they talked to each other face to face.

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t post a cute picture of the two of you hanging out. Just don’t write a 50 word status about how amazing your boyfriend is or how beautiful your girlfriend looks.  It is fantastic that you like each other so much, but don’t you think it would mean a lot more if you said it to his or her face?

I may not be a relationship expert, but I am pretty sure living out your relationship on Facebook is not healthy and it certainly is not going to last, no matter how many likes you receive on the post you left on your boyfriend’s wall.
