Should famous couples always be role models?

Recently, a couple from the series X has been constantly promoted on social media as the “perfect relationship.” But, of course, no one knows what goes on behind the scenes. Is it right to take examples from things we don’t see, do you think this situation harms our relationships?

I had also idealized a couple on social media for a while. Then I realized there was cheating and constant fighting going on behind the scenes. Everything is really limited to what we see. Eventually, people experience a disappointment after some time :smiling_face_with_tear:

like a couple from the same X series, one was always appearing very sincere, overly happy. I tried to do the same, but I ended up boring the other person without realizing. We can’t really know if something like that is happening in reality. But mimicking it never worked :neutral_face:

Yeah, you’ve really touched on a great point, but I think if you’re this affected, you should first take a look at your own relationship. What does the real relationship we’re talking about mean to you? Why are you trying to adjust according to someone else’s norms? :sweat_smile:

The effect of media on relationship dynamics is already a proven fact. Especially idealized relationships can create stress and dissatisfaction between partners. My suggestion is to ask yourself about your own needs and expectations before modeling a relationship you see.

Actually, I’m aware too; the couple in X series is completely scripted, but people keep making comparisons. You know, we also started discussing, ‘why isn’t it like this in our country?’ for a while. The discomfort seems to come from that.

Clearly, that couple from the show is running a PR campaign. Otherwise, why are we being bombarded with “perfect relationship” out of the blue? If there’s this much exaggeration, I think they’re probably struggling in some way already. :roll_eyes:

Actually, I think simplicity is more important. Instead of being envious of what we see from the outside, we should establish relationships that are suitable for our family structure and culture. What is shown on social media is generally not suitable for our society. Look at it a bit critically :sweat_smile:
