If you're on Facebook at all, you've seen it take place: two buddies end their marital relationship or long-term relationship, Facebook notifies you that [GOOD FRIEND] and [GOOD FRIEND] are "not in a relationship, How To Change Relationship Status On Facebook.

" Or, on the other side, 2 secretive pals get engaged, alter their respective statuses, then BOOM! Every individual they know on Facebook wants an invite to the wedding.

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

How To Change Relationship Status On Facebook

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

In 2016 my buddy ended a relationship, and I saw that she successfully 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 nearly a year when she started dating her now-boyfriend.

So she's obviously a bit of a digital genius, and I recently had her take a seat and show me the best ways to make this happen:

• Go to your profile.


• Click "Edit Profile".


• Select "Pals and Family" from the menu left wing.


• Click the arrow beside "Relationship Status".


• Modification this to "Just me".

ow your relationship status will show up ONLY to you-- not even your (maybe) partner can see it. It simply disappears! It's a pretty easy fix (assuming Facebook does not change the way you do it in a week), and pain-free at that. Win-win.
