40 Realistic Facebook Relationship Statuses

======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ==== ======= ======= ====== ====== ====== ===== ==== ====== ====== ===== ====

As much as we hate to admit it, we are part of the “Facebook official” generation. If you have a Facebook account, the biggest move you can make (apparently) with another organic being is going “Facebook official,” meaning you and some other person are trumpeting some kind of relationship to the world, good or bad. Even if you try to keep it private and not put a relationship status on your profile, others on Facebook can actually ask you whether or not you are in a relationship. Not in a personalized message, either–it’s an actual Facebook feature. You know, because creepy, random, automated messages really embody the concept of romance.

Facebook’s current relationship status options include “single,” “in a relationship,” “engaged,” “married,” “in a civil union,” “in a domestic partnership,” “in an open relationship,” “it’s complicated,” “separated,” “divorced,” and “widowed.” Yawn, gag, and snore. While each of these could cover a wide range of actual relationship statuses–and in my opinion, the more vague, the better–they are not specifically accurate to your current relationship status. Hypothetically, in Zuckerberg’s privacy-free utopia, we would have more realistic Facebook relationship statuses that would let others know EXACTLY what was going on in our relationships. Whether your current relationship status is on the down low or out in the open, serious or casual, romantic or strictly primal, any of these would be more accurate than Facebook’s actual relationship status options.
