There are certain aspects related to online social networking sites that easily cause relationship dissatisfaction. Papp, L. (2012) found that relationship satisfaction had a lot to do with the importance of a partner displaying and including their partner in various aspects of their profile. Lack of inclusion in aspects such as relationship status, photos, etc.. lead to higher feelings of dissatisfaction. Lets take an imaginary look into a romantic couples life. If you navigate to the girlfriends Facebook page, you immediately know that she is involved with a significant other. She has pictures of the two of them traveling to different cities and having a good time on the weekends. He is tagged in every single picture of hers letting everyone that she is taken. She even has her boyfrinends named tagged to her page under the "In a relationship with" category. Now let's travel to the boyfriends page. He has few pictures with his girl friend and many conversations with females and his friends posted on his wall. Unlike his girlfriend's page, he lacks the fact that he is in a relationship with her. Obviously, when the girlfriend travels to her boyfriend's Facebook profile, she has immediate feelings of relationship dissatisfaction. He lacks a relationship status making her feel as if they are not truly together and pictures of them spending time together. She may also develop feelings of jealousy every time she views her boyfriend having a conversation with another female. Since the two are directly connected with each other (jealousy and relationship dissatisfaction), this entire scenairo is highly likely.
Papp, L. (2012) also showed how dating partners portrayed their relationships online. These social networking sites held importance for relationship functioning, with both males’ displays of a partnered status and females’ inclusion of their partner in the profile picture. These components are directly linked to greater relationship satisfaction. Disagreements over Facebook relationship status can uniquely account for a significant variance in females’ relationship satisfaction. Now a days, Facebook is a common implication of dissatisfaction in the well-being of a romantic relationship (Papp, L. 2012). If you wish to keep your relationship healty and free from conflicts, avoid being friends with you significant parter online!
