[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I'm middle aged but I really can't imagine judging someone's commitment to the mother of their child based on social media posts. It's an utterly ridiculous way to assess his reliability or his devotion to your sister. LOTS of people don't want to post pics of their kids online, LOTS of people (e.g., those with healthy sense of privacy) don't go around proclaiming their love on FB or Instagram or Twitter. Frankly I cringe at men who gush in publicly available settings or couples who seem to communicate via social media.

If he's mistreating her, that should concern you. If she's unhappy about their marital situation or lack thereof, that should concern you. But posting a menu and work-related accolades and no baby pictures or sweet nothings to someone he lives with suggests a mature approach to social media, so I'm on team sister's boyfriend here.[/quote]

There’s a difference between gushing on social media and acknowledging that you have a SO and a baby. You don’t have to gush. If he was posting his music, news articles, etc and no posting his family then that’s one thing. He’s not.  As others have said if he’s posting selfies and can acknowledge a senators death he sure as hell can acknowledge the woman he lives with, but at the very least his child.

He’s keeping his options open.[/quote]
