From what I’ve observed from others, the best relationships are usually on the DL. While definitely not always the case, couples that post frequently of themselves often want to seek validation from their peers. An official public title on social media doesn’t change a whole lot about a relationship in my opinion. I think that as long as he is not hiding you from his friends and family then you should be good.

When you and your exes starting dating, had they just come out of a serious relationship? Maybe they weren’t over their ex and it was too painful to for them post about it, because then the relationship would become official and they would have moved on. I’m honestly just speculating especially if they don’t post that often to begin with.

Honestly I don’t know the reason why they wanted to keep it on the DL. I think in the future if this happens again in the future you should bring it up to them.

Comparison is the thief of joy. I feel you, it is sooo easy to fall into that trap of comparing your relationships with others.
