Friendship with Your Ex: Modern Relationship Challenges and Hidden Risks

Firstly, it’s a major red flag to keep your ex as a friend.

Impact on Your Current Relationship

Secondly, if you’re married, staying connected with your ex can damage your relationship with your spouse.

If Things Were Good, Why Did You Break Up with your ex?

If you’re still communicating with your ex and claim to have such a great relationship, why did it end in the first place?

Moving On and Building a Healthy Relationship

If you truly want to move on and have a healthy relationship with your current partner, your ex should not be anywhere near your life. This means:

Your ex should not be on your contact list or social media.

You shouldn’t be friends on Facebook or Instagram

You need to cut off all forms of contact with them.

This is not only beneficial for you but for your ex as well.

Instagram Wife, TikTok Husband or Ex-girlfriend / boyfriend

Why do you want an Instagrammable wife, brother? Why do you need an Instagrammable husband?

Marrying for Instagram Validation

But you are getting married on Instagram! Has our dilemma come to this? We need to flaunt. We need validation for our partner from our followers.

Seeking Likes Instead of True Connection

I would want to marry someone with whom, when I post a picture on Instagram, you know, there will be a flood of likes beneath the post. There will be a rain of likes, and followers will say, “Where did you get this trophy?”

Marriages Based on Social Media

So, did you get married on Instagram? Will you also have kids there? Small Instagram accounts will become secondary accounts.

Marriages Failing Due to Wrong Values

No, come out of this. These are the reasons marriages are failing nowadays. You are looking for an Instagram partner, a TikTok reel—no!

Instagram and TikTok Don’t Show True Character

These are the wrong core values. Look at the character, Instagram or TikTok doesn’t tell you someone’s character.

Focus on Real Qualities in a Partner

You need to know what kind of person they are and their basic qualities—look for those in your partner.
