A friend changed her Facebook status to “in a relationship” to tick off her ex, who doesn’t care and probably didn’t see it. Months later her new relationship is fizzling, so she wants to change her Facebook status back to “single.” She hasn’t had the talk with her lover though, and knows friends will gang up on her doing the “I told you so” dance.  I hear this often in my reading sessions. One chooses to change their status to “in a relationship.” It may or may not be mutual, but they don’t know since they’ve never discussed relationship. Both tend to say nothing to keep from upsetting the apple cart. Neither knows where they stand and generally only one wants to know.  A half dozen friends wish they’d never put “in a relationship” as their Facebook status. Some are happy, many are not.  I simply don’t put relationship status.  If someone knows me, they know my status.
