When couples have fundamentally different approaches to online privacy and sharing

My partner and I discovered we have completely opposite approaches to privacy — they share everything online and I barely use social media — and we're realizing we've never actually talked through what we each believe about digital boundaries, especially as we think about our future together. We keep having these surface-level arguments about posting photos of each other but we're really arguing about something much deeper about visibility and control.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering that their unexamined assumptions about digital privacy reflect deeper philosophical differences about identity, boundaries, and what intimacy means in a connected world.
