How To Change Your Relationship Status On Facebook - If you're on Facebook at all, you have actually seen it happen: two friends end their marriage or long-term relationship, Facebook notifies you that [FRIEND] and [PAL] are "no longer in a relationship.

" Or, on the flip side-- 2 deceptive pals get engaged, alter their respective statuses, then BOOM! Every single person they know on Facebook wants an invite to the wedding.

Both of these situations (and many between) plead the concern: simply how do you alter your relationship status on Facebook while keeping your news feed fans in the dark?

 

How To Change Your Relationship Status On Facebook

I get that this is an extremely twenty-first century only-for-people-who-are-online-a-lot issue, and maybe a silly one at that. Why, when you're believing about a modification to your long-term relationship, would your mind roam to your Facebook relationship status? I cannot tell you, I feel in one's bones that for lots of people it does, and the creepy-crawly, upside-down-stomach feeling that accompanies those ideas isn't the finest thing ever.

Last year my buddy ended a relationship, and I discovered that she effectively kept the ending of this relationship from becoming Facebook's news-- a couple of "buddies" didn't even understand her previous relationship had actually been over for almost a year when she started dating her now-boyfriend.

So she's certainly a bit of a digital genius, and I just recently had her take a seat and show me ways to make this occur:

• Go to your profile.


• Click "Edit Profile".


• Select "Pals and Household" from the menu on the left.


• Click the arrow next to "Relationship Status".


• Change this to "Only me".

ow your relationship status will show up ONLY to you-- not even your (perhaps) partner can see it. It merely vanishes! It's a pretty easy repair (assuming Facebook does not alter the way you do it in a week), and painless at that. Win-win.
