Ranveer Allahbadia: Social media playbook
Should you dump your partner because he refuses to put up a post with you on social media? And should you be tagging people in your posts so that they can see it?
Social show off?
My partner (of six years) refuses to put up pictures with me on social media, and the other day I found out why – he’s been talking to girls over Insta. Dump him or call out his bullshit?

Confront him. I will give you a man’s perspective. A man that truly loves you (and himself) with all his might, will never think of cheating on you. Either he’s doing something shady or he’s having some internal battles with himself. Of course, it could also be that he’s just got a few female friends. But use your judgement and intuition here.
If your intuition is saying something negative, know that there are many fish in the sea.
Don’t tag and tell
I feel weird about tagging random people on my posts just so that they will hopefully see it. But people say that’s the only way I can promote work. Is that true?
