How Do You Change Your Relationship Status On Facebook - If you're on Facebook at all, you have actually seen it occur: two good friends end their marital relationship or long-lasting relationship, Facebook notifies you that [GOOD FRIEND] and [GOOD FRIEND] are "not in a relationship.

" Or, on the other hand-- 2 deceptive friends get engaged, alter their respective statuses, then BOOM! Each and every single person they understand on Facebook desires an invite to the wedding.

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

 

How Do You Change Your Relationship Status On Facebook

I get that this is an extremely twenty-first century only-for-people-who-are-online-a-lot problem, and perhaps a ridiculous one at that. Why, when you're thinking of a modification to your long-term relationship, would your mind roam to your Facebook relationship status? I cannot tell you, I just know that for lots of people it does, and the creepy-crawly, upside-down-stomach sensation that accompanies those thoughts isn't really the very best thing ever.

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

So she's clearly a bit of a digital genius, and I recently had her sit down and reveal me how to make this occur:

• Go to your profile.


• Click "Edit Profile".


• Select "Friends and Family" from the menu on the left.


• Click the arrow next to "Relationship Status".


• Change this to "Only me".

ow your relationship status will be noticeable ONLY to you-- not even your (possibly) partner can see it. It merely vanishes! It's a quite easy repair (assuming Facebook does not alter the way you do it in a week), and pain-free at that. Win-win.
