When it's real on Facebook, it's really REAL

It was one of the hardest parts, I'm not going to lie. Changing that relationship status took BALLS. The stakes were so high!

Because once it's on Facebook, the entire world knows. And then you'll get like 21 "likes" which really means that 15 of those people feel badly for you and 2 are happy and 4 just feel awkward enough to acknowledge that they noticed. And then you get people commenting things like...

"Oh girl don't worry there are so many fish in the sea!"

or

"WHATTTT HOW DID THIS HAPPENNNN?!?!?!?!"

...and who wants to have that shit on their timeline? I sure don't.

So here's how you do it.

I changed my relationship status to "single" but I made it so that "Only I" can see it. So now it doesn't say it on my page. And I also hid the horrible "Jess went from in a relationship to single" from all newsfeeds.

So unless someone is really checking my relationship status daily, people didn't really notice.

And that's how you get it done, girls. No shame, no humiliation, but it's really real.
