Do married couples need to get approval before posting on social media? I’m 28F and he is 33M
Yesterday my husband and I had a small fight over an Instagram reel. We’re traveling in Italy, and when we were filming in the Dolomites, I mentioned to him that we’d post the couple’s reel if he liked it, and if not, I’d post a solo one. Later, after editing both, I actually liked my solo reel more and decided to post that. I told him he could post the couple reel, and I’d post my solo reel. He got upset, saying it would look like I’m traveling alone, and also that I wasn’t “sticking to what I said earlier.”
For context, my Instagram already has several couple-oriented posts and reels holding hands, dinners together, Italy stories clearly showing we’re traveling as a couple, etc. This reel was just a hiking clip from the Dolomites not like I’m in a bikini or something. I told him I don’t think I need “permission” to post on my own profile, as long as it’s respectful. Curious, do other married couples get each other’s approval before posting, or do you just post what you want?
