The after effects of marriage has always been an interesting topic of discussion. But did you notice how the after effects have transformed over the years. With people getting more and more active on virtual platforms, the transformation has too gone digital. The maximum toll of marriage can be observed on Facebook, particularly in the manner in which couples conduct themselves. For example:
- It would become an unstated rule that the couple has to mutually like each others' post irrespective of whether the post is likable or not. I have often seen couples liking silly posts just because it has been posted by his/her better half. It's like you have suddenly lost your sense of judgement or have lost the idea of having an opinion.
- Men suddenly become too conscious before liking a picture posted by a female colleague/friend. While this might not be true for many of the couples, I think for most of them this is also more of an unstated rule.
- The number of posts suddenly goes down. So a young girl who had been very regular on Facebook updating all her selfies would suddenly reduce the number of posts. Whom to blame? Sanskar, eh?
- Their DP will be one of the picture that was clicked during their marriage reception and the cover photo will be of the dance that they performed during the sangeet ceremony. In most of the cases DP will remain unchanged till they have a child.
- Hashtags like #feelingloved, #hubbylove, will be more prominent than any other tags.
- Too much PDA as if they are trying to prove something. Your reaction is often like
- Suddenly the number of likes on their pics will go down. Or even if the number of likes remain the same, the participants will change. The likes would mostly come from in-laws and new relatives.
These are some of the many examples which are so visible on Facebook. I am sure you must have noticed the change too. Share yours in the comments.
