Justin Bieber has been sharing a lot of cryptic posts on Instagram lately about the meaning of love and transactional relationships, causing speculation about his marriage with Hailey Bieber (who, by the way, just subtly changed the caption of her own post about therapy).

The "Baby" singer hopped onto the app again yesterday, alluding to drama in an unnamed relationship—or perhaps just musing generally?—by saying "the secret in this life is forgiveness."

His comments come just days after another post about loyalty, where he called the word "manipulative language" and said "please stop using loyalty to keep people around you out of your own fear its hurting us. Mafia members use loyalty to keep people in their gangs. Lets not perpetuate this manipulative language."

Neither Justin nor Hailey have addressed speculation that these posts have something to do with their relationship—but they come off a lengthy and since-edited comment Justin made about his wife's Vogue cover. In case you missed it, he wrote: "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even. I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even. we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection. So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken."

Meanwhile, a source just alleged to The Sun that the pair are at their "breaking point" and that tension is at an "an all-time high" due to Justin being jealous of Hailey's success.
