Social media is like a window through which one can view what is going on people’s lives. From travel pictures to date nights, many of us often scroll through posts that show seemingly perfect relationships. It is common to feel FOMO while seeing happy couples enjoying their lives together as a sense of loneliness creeps in. One starts to wonder what might be missing from their own life.
But recently, a new point of view has sparked discussions about these picture-perfect posts. Amish Aggarwala, a divorce lawyer, shared a video that caught the attention of many online. He pointed out that the frequent pictures shared on social media by a happily married couple might not always be ‘so happy’ in reality.
Lawyer Reveals What Those Perfect Couple Posts Really Mean
In his video, shared on Instagram, Amish said, “As a divorce lawyer, I hope you’ll find a little bit of solace in the fact that all of these picture-perfect couples who post their wonderful lives… the more I see a couple posts their pictures, the more they’re filling up some void.”
He explained that in his experience, the happiest couples are usually those who post very little or not at all on social media. Amish added, “Statistically, it means that the happiest couples I’ve seen are ones with no social media or perhaps they’re posting once or twice a year.”
Amish also shared an advice for those scrolling through multiple posts, saying, “When you see post after post after post in order to flex on the ‘losers’ that is us like single people… these people who are posting ten times a day are the ones coming and sitting in my office for divorce, narrating how ‘he tortured my life’ and ‘she did these things.’ Remember that back of your mind -all these posts and stories – they’re usually coming from where something is going on in the background. So, your life is not so bad in comparison.”
He shared the post with a caption that reads: “The truth divorce lawyers know about Instagram couples.”

From ‘Absolutely True’ to ‘No Logic’: Internet Reacts
Amish’s post gained significant attention online as it accumulated more than four lakh views and prompted a range of reactions.
Dr Pritisha Saxena, a psychiatrist, was one of the responders. She wrote, “Exactly, most of my patients who have troubled relationships tell me how posting on social media helps them feel somewhat better and validated.”
Another user agreed, “Absolutely true. I have seen many happy couples not posting at all.”
“To an extent, yes. Although some people really do like showing off their partner in public. But again, to an extent, yes,” someone else commented.
On the other hand, some users disagreed. One wrote, “That’s pushing your legal opinion a bit too far. No logic. Tomorrow it could be a couple eating and drinking out often vs home dwellers.”
A woman explained in detail, “Not true. This is a case of classic survivorship bias. As a divorce lawyer, you only see couples who are already in conflict and that’s a biased sample. If many of them happen to post more often, of course you’d assume frequent posters are fake. But the couples who are posting often and are happy never show up in your office (why would they?).”
She also pointed out that just because a couple doesn’t post often, it “doesn’t magically mean stability.” According to her, some couples may stay private on social media because they are naturally private, others might be disengaged and some “to keep doors open for affairs.” She further said that how often people post is more about their personality and lifestyle than the actual health of their relationship.
