Soft launches and couple pics don’t prove anything. How they treat you on a boring day does.

Public display is the easiest part of any relationship to produce. A photograph takes a second and says nothing about how the two of you handle a dull Sunday, a disagreement or a bad week. Plenty of people perform warmth in public and are careless in private. The unremarkable hours are what you actually live in.

Judge what you have by how you are treated when nobody could possibly be watching. Notice whether the posting matters more to one of you than the relationship does. Let the boring evidence outweigh the visible kind.
