writes:My ex and I just got back together after a short break up. Before the break, we had been dating for five years. We both established that we would like to be back together and are officially a couple. Before the break up, we were an extremely public couple and our profiles were of the both of us, we posted about each other a lot, or checked in while tagging each other. Well, this time around we both agreed that we would like to keep our profile pictures to ourselves, but when I brought up changing our relationship status to being back together, I sensed some reluctance on his part. He was like, "Uhhh...it's up to you, I guess?" Before, he was the one would post about US the most, put up the pictures of us, statuses about us, and insist about being public on Facebook. When we finally did change it back, he hid it thank no one could see that he was in a relationship with me and never told me about it, which is a big no-no with us. Do I have reason to believe that his sudden change in attitude means something? Our break was only a week long, so I'm not inclined to believe he suddenly became a "private person", like he claims. He still posts statuses about what he is doing, where he is at, and who is with constantly, but refuses to publicly acknowledge me as his girlfriend on Facebook, which is so unlike him. If he wants to be so private, then why even have a Facebook, or post as much as he does, or be friends with people he wants to be private with? Am I wrong to think something if off?

I don't know why else someone who is very public of FB with his relationship would suddenly be the opposite.

 Just an observation - you say your break was one week long and you're now officially back together, yet you refer to him as your ex. It doesn't have to mean anything, it just jumped out at me.
Anyway. He may or may not have changed in a week (or is trying), he may have something to hide, he may be wary or unsure about your future together or his feelings. The bottom line is, it's Facebook and it's not real life and doesn't need to be an indication of how committed he is to you. Everyone is different but I know a lot of people who are in great relationships but don't even acknowledge that fact on Facebook. For now, try to forget Facebook and concentrate on rebuilding your relationship away from the internet. In time you will understand how he feels about you.
