I took a random survey about relationships on Facebook. The second thing I had to do was "Tell me the story of the ideal relationship and how it is presented online." This was my response.

That is way too complicated. Someone would say the ideal relationship has no arguments, but shouldn't issues between two people be brought up and not bottled up inside? Most people I know have all said relatively the same thing. There will be times around seven months to a year, then two more years, and so on, where you start to question your relationship in your head. If you make it through those times, usually it is a strong or even perfect relationship. I don't think it is possible to know what the ideal relationship is without actually being in one. There is a chemistry between two people that is unique in every relationship.

How is the ideal relationship presented online? There will be the classic "in a relationship with..." update on your news feed as soon as the new couple gets home from their night out together. Whether or not the couple wants it to happen, pictures of them are going to be taken and friends and family are going to post them online. You basically don't have to upload pictures. It will happen automatically. Occasionally there will be status updates about how much this person loves the other person. In my experience usually the girls do a lot more of this than the guys. I don't think in any way a relationship is presented online, it will still never tell the deeper story about the relationship.
