Breaking up in THIS milennium has it's own set of problems

We all love that certain possibility that Facebook gives us, but we all hate it at the same time. We all fear

it ever happening to us but when we are the ones that have to do it, we never know when to rip off that

awful band aid. I’m talking of course about the Facebook relationship status update that has to be done when breaking up.

So when exactly do we need to do this?

My best friend just got dumped and her ex changed the status within 48 hours. After a long relationship, this is truly an extra punch in the stomach. And if you’re already a mean mean dumping machine, then why make your ex suffer more? Sadistic? I think yes.

Another friend of mine had a boyfriend for over 4 years and they did not put any relationship status on

Facebook. However, a little bit later in the relationship, the guy was seduced by an evil temptress who

told him that his gf was probably not loyal to him seeing that she didn’t even change her status. Insert

end of the relationship.

Make no mistake though, it’s also a painful affaire when you are the one breaking up and your ex is the

one changing his or her relationship status. I had to endure this recently and seeing my ex, change his

status within 48 hours was ever so agonizing. His reply was also golden “yeah you dumped me and

wanted to move on fast, that’s exactly what I did”. Wow did NOT see that coming!

However painful and annoying all this facebook crap might be, it’s a real problem.

I call it millennial (take a breath) technology (take another breath) drama. (You need those full stops to feel the dramatic connotation of these words)

One might ask what to do in a situation like this, and I’m not sure that I can give you the answer, only

that its bloody hell annoying.

QueenJoke had the best suggestion so far, just never update your goddamn relationship status in the

first place​.
