A few months ago, a girlfriend of mine went through something that many of us dread. A breakup. Yes, it happens to the best of us and we usually don’t want to blast it out to all of our friends and families or share something that is so personal with the random people we may have as ‘friends’ on Facebook. My girlfriend was in the same position and asked me to help with removing her relationship status on Facebook without people seeing. I put together this step-by-step guide for her with a bit of Google research and experimenting:

Step 1. Go to your Privacy settings

Step 2. Click on Relationships

Step 3. Hover over the drop down Custom menu and click on the Custom edit button

Step 4. Select “Only Me”. This will make your relationship status disappear to everyone else except for you.

Step 5. Save your new settings.

I hope this will help you to keep your love life or heartbreak private.

P.s. To the dumper: you are a jerk! To the dumped: girl, you are better off without him! Now do what Beyonce said and put your hands up and have some fun!
