Briana Pontious Module 3 - Post 3

The article that I chose for my third post is "How Social Media Can Affect Relationships, Plus 6 Red Flags To Look Out For". I chose this article because the last two articles I have chosen have been about how jealousy takes the best of someone in a relationship based off of some ridiculous thing on social media and how a lot of couples overreact over meaningless things. This article, however, talks about things that couples should watch out for when in a relationship. I like this article because it doesn't just bash on the jealousy of couples, it talks about how some people actually should be worried about what their significant others are doing on social media. It's sad that a lot of people these days use social media as a way to cheat on their significant other. The 6 red flags that the article lists as warning signs are: 1. Inappropriate Activity 2. Too Private 3. Too Much PDA 4. Attention-Seeking Activities 5. Always On 6. Suspicious Pictures. I think that these are good red flags to look for because those typically are signs of cheating and suspicious behavior, which in the long run is a good thing because it gives someone a chance to get out of a bad relationship.

  1. This is a very interesting article. Social media does make being unfaithful easier than ever before. The red flags that are listed in the article are definitely something that couples need to watch out for. It's a shame that social media has become a tool to cheat on significant others. It can have its positives, but overall it can lead to more bad than good.
