Can anything suck as much as seeing that little red heart appear next to your Ex's cheery face on facebook? Giving out not only more information than is necessary, but then putting you in the merry position of watching the little thumbs up of betrayal from your mutual friends, all rushing to stamp their approval on her shitty new romance. All flushed to win a few points of friendship from the least bit of effort.
And, worse, those bastards that run facebook STILL refuse to provide a decent little "thumbs down" in virtual recompense for those of us with other opinions. Denying the ability to the let all those traitorous digital acquaintances know exactly how you feel about this new arrangement. Not giving you the power to let them know it's a THUMBS DOWN in your book, "friends," you fucking fair weather emotional defectors.
Thumbs WAY down. (Which should also be an option. Cause sometimes I REALLY don't like what other people have to say)
And then they're looking all pathetic like at the relationship status on your facebook page, like "how sad, look at him all 'single' still, with the broken heart icon."
Leaving you with only one option, immediately changing your status as well to a very nondescript "in a relationship." Might as well throw them all for a loop (are they… are they back together?). Maybe it’ll force her to add the name of the person she’s dating, at which point maybe you can look him up and give him a good punch to the face.
Or, at the very least, it’ll give you a chance to ride that wave of tentative inquiries from those backsliding associates on a uneven board of smug lies, “Oh yeah, I’m totally seeing someone too… no, you don’t know her… her name is… Sara-fina. She’s British.”
Yeah. I imagine having to deal with all of that would suck.
