If you are out and your partner is not, you can become intensely frustrated and resentful at your partner because of his/her inability to be open and honest about the relationship.On the other hand, the more closeted member of the pair can feel pressured to come out before he/she is emotionally ready. If you are looking for a long term relationship and not just a hookup, you need to figure out how to deal with your relationship to social media.Additionally the illusion of endless possibility and choice may make people more vulnerable to discarding a good relationship if it doesn’t immediately fulfill most of our needs. We want our partners to be our best friend, fulfill all our sexual fantasies and desires, support our dreams, share our financial burdens, and accept all our flaws.As in any relationship, once the romantic stage gives way to the next stage, conflicts over differences may arise.So many of the social media outlets are not love and commitment friendly and are instead focused on sexual hookup culture. Be clear about your monogamy versus non monogamy values and communicate them directly.Try to clarify your implicit expectations and make them explicit.
If you identify as LGBTQ and also as a member of an ethnic minority, you may be exposed to multiple layers of oppression.
