- Are you trying to cause jealousy
When you post on your social network photos a romantic evening with candles and a bouquet of roses, you hope that one person will see it. “A lot of people post pictures with her current partner, to cause a reaction ex-partner in one form or another, says Rachel Sussman. – It’s like saying “Look how great I am, and you, unfortunately, lost the” or something”.
While research in the field of cyberpsychology and behavior in social networks has shown that this habit can prevent you from moving on. “Maybe you need a little more time to completely separate yourself from the person you once were together,” continues Sussman.

- You are just truly happy
Other posts related to the relationship, can signal that you are really happy. A study conducted in 2012, the Facebook users showed that people who put an avatar to a picture where they are together with your loved one, were more satisfied with relationships than those who used a solo picture.

Plus, these photos can see the friends and parents of the couple, and it will surely lift their mood,” says Rachel Sussman. Conclusion: in an online romance, there is nothing wrong if you do it on the third of these reasons.
