You Don't Have to Tell the World on Facebook

Facebook logo
Did you just break up?  Or finalize a divorce?

You don't have to tell all of your friends on Facebook that it has happened.  You can make the change on Facebook but do so in a way that Facebook doesn't automatically send out a status update that your relationship has changed.

Here's how.

Go to your profile and then click on About and then Family and Relationships (on the left side).

Under Relationship, you'll see the current setting, Friends or even Public.  Change this setting to Only Me.

Facebook relationship about

Now you can make your relationship status change.  That's because only you will see the change.

At some time in the future, come back to the Relationship and change your setting back to Friends.

No one will be the wiser.
