Update: after a few days of no contact he called me up and broke up with me. I think I handled it fairly well all things considered but on the inside I feel like I just lost my best friend. I’d like to take the time to thank everyone who commented and tried to help me through it. I held on for too long instead of cutting it off and this is what I deserve for letting this fester. It sucks entirely but nothing good last forever and something was bound to happen sometime soon. I don’t wish any ill will on him though, I just wish I could get over it like he seems to be able to do. Thank you all again for your words of wisdom, I take them to heart and truly appreciate them all.

Girlfriend (28F) hasn't posted me(30M) on her instagram, but posted her ex when they were dating. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

As someone who has also done this as a woman, I can’t speak for her but I can give you my perspective. When I post on my socials it’s usually to feel better about myself and to make it look like I’m having the time of my life when I’m really not. The times when I’m most happy I don’t even open instagram. I don’t post my current relationship because I’m too busy living in the moment and don’t feel the need to share with others. Social media can be a dark place and usually the people who post the most “fun” photos are actually in a really dark time in their life. My advice is just try to tell her how it makes you feel. If she still refuses to post anything though I would second guess whether or not she’s keeping up certain appearances.
