cryptissonance

The tension or disharmony that happens when one person in a relationship wants to stay private and off-grid (encrypulous), while the other shares everything online (decrypulous). A modern form of digital incompatibility — part love, part algorithmic anxiety. Basically, when your need for privacy meets your partner’s need for Wi-Fi.
Their relationship didn’t end because of cheating — it was pure cryptissonance. He lived offline; she lived on Instagram.
