" Or, on the other side-- two secretive friends get engaged, alter their respective statuses, then BOOM! Each individual they understand on Facebook wants a welcome to the wedding event.
Both of these scenarios (and lots of in between) ask the concern: just how do you alter your relationship status on Facebook while keeping your news feed followers in the dark?
How To Change Relationship Status On Facebook
I get that this is a really twenty-first century only-for-people-who-are-online-a-lot issue, and perhaps a ridiculous one at that. Why, when you're considering a modification to your long-term relationship, would your mind wander to your Facebook relationship status? I can't inform you, I feel in one's bones that for numerous individuals it does, and the creepy-crawly, upside-down-stomach feeling that supports those thoughts isn't really the very best thing ever.
In 2016 my friend ended a relationship, and I discovered that she successfully kept the ending of this relationship from ending up being Facebook's news-- a couple of "good friends" didn't even realize her previous relationship had been over for nearly a year when she started dating her now-boyfriend.
So she's obviously a little a digital genius, and I just recently had her take a seat and reveal me how to make this happen:
- Go to your profile.
- Click "Edit Profile".
- Select "Buddies and Household" from the menu left wing.
- Click the arrow beside "Relationship Status".
- Change this to "Only me".
ow your relationship status will show up ONLY to you-- not even your (maybe) partner can see it. It just disappears! It's a pretty easy fix (presuming Facebook does not change the way you do it in a week), and pain-free at that. Win-win.
