Gushing about spouse on FB

[Anonymous]

There is some MAJOR projecting going on in this thread. No, not everyone who posts gushy Facebook messages is in marital distress. Sometimes people actually really like each other and want the world to know. Sorry your relationships are so sad that you don't know how that feels.

Why does the world need to know?

I sincerely hope you aren’t posting gushy posts about your spouse. Think carefully.

So try hard. Most I know who do it also intersperse that with gushing about "God", lol. Double try hard.

I have noticed almost every single time someone starts doing this within a year or 2 I hear they are either separated or having marital troubles. In one case they were already divorced within a year.

Same here. That is a red flag to me now. So are the couples that suddenly have so many separate interests and friends that they spend maybe 1 night a week together. They always say “it’s healthier for a couple to spend some time apart.” And I know they are doomed.

Yep. No friends in common or common interests, no going out together...

It’s the deflection method. Try to cover their or spouse’s infidelity.

That's crazy.

To the extent people in marital stress do this, I suspect it’s part of the denial and construction of a false narrative. They aren’t just trying to convince others — they are trying to convince themselves.

Different people got different love languages and ways of expressing themselves. You may be thinking about the gushers but they aren’t thinking about you, they’re appreciating the joys in their life. Y’all should try it sometime.

They “got” different love languages? Where do they get them? K-Mary? Tiffany? Lord & Taylor? Are they ever on sale?

Does it matter?
You have your shops you frequent and you favor grunts or mumbles or whatever it is that you do to express your love for your significant other.
Do you and mind your business don’t worry about their love language it’s a 1:1 relationship you’re not involved in their communications.
