The Painful Truth Show. Bragging Rights!

We’re all friends with that one couple on Facebook: the couple that can’t stop posting mushy photos (hashtag: #blessed) and bragging about their relationship every chance they get. 

But while it may appear that they have the perfect relationship, sometimes the best sign of a healthy relationship is no sign of it on Facebook at all.  

Below, marriage therapists and other relationships experts share the 10 worst things you can post about your relationship.

1. Lovey-dovey posts about your spouse.

“I particularly dislike lovey-dovey posts because in my experience, the people who broadcast how great their personal lives are tend to have less-than satisfying intimate lives but still cause others to feel bad about their own, even if they’re fine,” she said.
