Our Relationship Hasn’t Been The Same Again Just Because of WhatsApp Status

We started dating four months ago. It’s a long-distance relationship, so within these months, we’ve met only three times. We talk every day, both by voice and video.

I woke up one day, and she had put up my photo on her WhatsApp status, saying she was blessed the day she met me. I responded, “Awww, that’s sweet. I feel blessed having you too.”

Another day, she took a screenshot of us on a video call and posted it on her status, captioning it, “Every second with him is full of vibes and love.” I also responded and told her how much I loved her and how I couldn’t wait to see her again.

A few days ago, I woke up to a meme on her WhatsApp status that said, “I don’t trust a man who doesn’t show his girlfriend online. What is he hiding?” I thought it was just a meme, so I responded, “Ask again, what is he hiding?” She retorted, “You tell me what you’re hiding because I’ve never seen you post me.”

This turned into a huge argument about love language, insecurity, secrecy in relationships, etc., so I said, “I didn’t know it mattered to you that much, so I’ll do it.”

I posted her photo one early morning, and she saw it and didn’t say anything. Later in the day, I thought she had seen it, so there was no need to keep it, and I deleted it. A few moments later, she said, “You couldn’t even keep me up there for twenty-four hours. What do you gain when your status is empty, or do you want me to pay for the extra hours?”

I posted her again. Later in the night, she sent a message: “Let me see how many people viewed the status. Take a screenshot and send it.”

In her mind, I had excluded everyone on my contact list from viewing my status, so she was the only one seeing it. I said, “Who did this to you? Why don’t you have a little bit of trust left in you?”

After arguing for several minutes, I sent the screenshot. Only thirty-seven people had viewed it, and she had a problem with that. She asked me to explain why only thirty-seven people viewed it.

This is a huge red flag of insecurity and lack of trust. Is it too early to run away from this relationship?
