Like breaking up isn’t hard enough to do, now days you have to deal with the constant reminder of your failed relationship thanks to social media.
For years now, you’ve had to either block or delete your ex from your social media or, if you are anything like me, you have kept them on your social to stalk them (we all do it, don’t deny it) and for fear of them thinking you care that much. lol
But now, Facebook is finally doing some good, more than the dislike button or the self disappearing statuses. Facebook will now make it easier to manage your breakups without unfriending or blocking your ex. Thanks to a new feature, you will be able to de-tag yourself from all the photos of you two together, you will be able to “unfollow them” so that their post don’t show up on your News Feed, limit the things your ex could see from you, and more . The new tool will be available when you change your relationship status.
“This work is part of our ongoing effort to develop resources for people who may be going through difficult moments in their lives,” wrote Facebook Product Manager Kelly Winters in a blog post Thursday. “We hope these tools will help people end relationships on Facebook with greater ease, comfort and sense of control.”
The tool is already available for those of you who wanted to end your relationship today. Just saying.
