How couples can handle strangers' judgement

Relationship educator Kelley Nele explained to Briefly News how couples can navigate external judgments about their relationships, especially when it's based on something as subjective as body language.

"Couples can remember that people outside their relationship don't see the full scope, and their judgments are more likely to be projections (assumptions).

"Couples who post on social media should expect this sort of scrutiny and learn to prioritise their reality and feelings about their relationship over strangers'."
