I saw this on the status updates of Facebook and was fascinated.
We are in 2008; that’s how it looks nowadays, if you break up with someone and jump into a new love relationship.

Yeah, like it never happened before Facebook… ;oP
In 2008 you don’t trust your friends to tell the story, you make sure almost everyone you know sees it on the Net. People I haven’t seen in a couple of years hinted on Facebook that the relationship “wasn’t going well”, and a few weeks later I saw the “no longer in a relationship” announcement pass in my newsfeed. Then, all bets are open!
I have some friends who decided to not let the whole world know they are together. Their relationship is healthy, but they were just nervous and jaunty to have people know they are romantically linked on Facebook, after the whole series of media pieces on stolen identitites. So this was the strategy they took: erase the link to each other, but still advertise they are in a relationship.
