When couples enable each other's Instagram comparison habits

My partner and I both keep saying we want to post less and compare ourselves less but then we end up scrolling together on the couch every night critiquing other people's vacation photos and feeling worse about our own life. We're feeding each other's worst habits and can't seem to break the cycle even though we both want to.
