In today's society, social media is an inevitable part of life. This generation is hooked to their phones day in and day out. They're always keeping informed and in tune to everything going on around them, as well as the people's lives around them. While it's really great to have all this information and entertainment right at our fingertips, it definitely has its drawbacks as well.

When it comes to relationships, social media can sometimes be the deadliest weapon -- and for what reason exactly? It has created a sense of jealousy among women, mainly. Along with that, it has created this false association between the use of social media and not being able to trust your significant other. If you are doubting your partner because of their social media activity, I advise that you take a deeper look into your relationship because there may be some more serious issues you need to address.

"Why is your top best friend on Snapchat a girl/guy?" "Why did you like her/his picture?" "Why did that girl/guy just follow you on Instagram? She/He totally is into you." These are just a few of the most common questions that some people get so wrapped up in. My question is -- who the hell cares? That is the point of social media -- to follow people, to like their pictures, to be able to see what people are doing, so why is it seen as such a threat? Social media has caused people to question their relationships and sometimes even their own worth when their significant other interacts with another human being, god forbid another woman, in even the slightest way.

While there is a slim number where this mistrust really takes a toll on a relationship, it's definitely something that creates huge problems on a daily basis for couples -- when in reality, it shouldn't. Your relationship should be based off the actions of your significant other, not the like or follow they throw another woman/man. Don't get me wrong, I have been guilty of this before and I will admit that. But, the truth is if my boyfriend wanted to be with the woman whose Instagram photo he liked, he'd be with her -- but he chose to be with me, so isn't that good enough? It should be and, for me, it is good enough. But, for many women it might not be.

So, if you're ever questioning your significant other's intentions, ask them. There's no harm in that because the worst you can get is the truth which will set you free from the person who is not putting in the same amount of effort you are -- and while it may not seem like it at the time, it really is a blessing in disguise. Or, if you feel that you can't trust them, do yourself a favor and remove yourself from the relationship, but make sure it is based off of more solid evidence than a liked photo and the assumption your partner is being unfaithful.

I am by no means trying to tell you what to do with your relationship or that your relationship is flawed because you asked your partner these questions. In the end people are going to do what they want to do. But, keep in mind, that person is in a relationship with you because you're the one they want to be with and you're the one that makes them happy every single day. So, next time your boyfriend or girlfriend likes someone of the opposite sex's photo, take a step back and remember to have faith in them because they chose to be with you for a reason.
