Today, my boyfriend of over a year still refuses to acknowledge our relationship on social media because he “wants to keep things private.” He posts about his dogs, his car, gym selfies, his beer outings with the boys, even his favorite team scores, but when it comes to me, suddenly it’s “I want to keep it private.” FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to untag him in our vacation photos together. Last month, he hid his relationship status and hid every trace of me. He says it’s because he doesn’t want any "social media drama" and people knowing about his "personal life." We’ve been together for 3 years. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend of 8 months about him posting our date nights sitting at a table and having drinks, yet I don’t appear in a single frame. He said, “I just don’t post people.” He posts friends, family, and colleagues in pictures all the time, but when it comes to me, he “doesn’t post people.” FML
Today, my ex, who “didn’t believe in posting our relationship on social media”, has no problem posting his new girlfriend and showing her off. He acts like he won a very valuable prize with her, and I was left in the shadows for the whole year we dated. FML
Today, I was looking through my boyfriend's Facebook photos, when I saw a recent comment by one of his friends asking how his night out with "Danielle" went. He replied: "Dude, keep that shit on the down-low." We've been dating for over a year. FML
Today, my boyfriend preferred to delete his account than admit we are in a relationship on Facebook. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend of several months to post a picture of us. He deleted his Facebook instead. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years decided to start an online blog about his life. He mentioned his cars, his friends and even his staff. I was never mentioned. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years never posts me on his Facebook, yet his girl “bestie” is always on his tags, comments, etc. He recently went to a party and put a picture of them two as his profile picture. He’s confused as to why I’m upset, and thinks I’m “overreacting.” FML
Today, on Facebook, I joined a group called "I want our relationship to last." My boyfriend commented "I don't." FML
Today, I realized that my boyfriend is still scared of his ex. It's been 8 months and our relationship is still "secret." Why? Because he's scared that she will find out and tell his family about us. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're one of several side pieces, each kept apart from each other. Or if you are exclusive, you're not the one, probably never will be, and he's keeping his options open. Either way, if you're not okay with this arrangement, dump him.

After all this time, I suggest you move on. If he doesn't want his friends or Family to know about you, he doesn't value you enough. You deserve someone who is proud to be with you and let everyone know. That said, he likely is trying to schmooze another person and will leave you if he makes progress there. It appears you are his FWB, not girlfriend/lover.

He’s playing you. In a relationship for over a year and he doesn’t post you on social media? Girl run don’t walk. He’s keeping you under wraps because he’s protecting someone else’s feelings or he’s trying to keep his options open. This guy is obviously very active on social media about his life, but not his relationship of a year?! Massive red flag - he wants to appear single. RUN.

He doesn't love you, you're just his bed warmer until something better comes along. Walk away and find someone who finds both pride and joy in your relationship.
