For Isobel, 28, the answer is simple: barely post about your partner at all. That was the approach she took during her most recent three-year relationship, in which she estimates she only shared a picture of her boyfriend to Instagram a handful of times, and all of them were positive, loved-up images.

“For most of the happy long-term couples I know, you would barely know they were together from their social media presence,” Isobel tells Stylist.co.uk. “The absence of daily confessions of love seems to point to something more stable.”

Isobel says that she “thinks - or hopes! - everyone realises [Instagram] is not indicative of real life”. For her, the social media platform is a “personal highlight reel, and that’s the key word there,” she explains. She believes that Instagram exists for this exact reason and she wouldn’t want social media to become flooded with realistic missives about the true state of everyone’s lives, the literal warts-and-all dioramas of our relationships.

“I don’t think there’s ever a time to shade your partner on social media,” she says. “The idea of sharing moments is almost always predicated upon happiness. Maybe people don’t want to take a selfie and write about how they’re feeling in a low moment, but a TGIF cocktails boomerang with the girls is as no-brainer when you’re two martinis deep. I think it will always remain a glossy, happy place as that is just what people are more willing to share.”
