veggirl Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Have you ever changed your relationship status to It's Complicated on FB? If so, under what circumstances? I saw it on my newsfeed a few weeks ago, a young girl (like 20) and I attribute it to her age. I'd find it SO embarrassing to put that, like announcing to the world your relationship is totally jacked up at the moment!
HeartOnSleeve Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I don't even have relationship status stuff on my page so yeah no...I think that's strange, but I know some people in their late 20's and early 30's that have that on their page and it's uncomfortable.
HeartOnSleeve Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 so then why is called "complicated"....that signifies a problem. Why not use the "Open" option?
ScienceGal Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Seems like a cry for help to a mixed crowd of people, many of whom don't know you that well. I would never have that status; in fact, I've decided to not have a relationship status at all until I get engaged or married. My ex changed his relationship status to "widowed" after we split. I thought that was really lame. Edited February 28, 2012 by ScienceGal 1
Author veggirl Posted February 28, 2012 Author Posted February 28, 2012 I don't see anything uncomfortable with it at all. In most cases it signifies a casual relationship where one is seeing and or having sex with multiple people (nothing wrong with that). In a relationship that is not committed or seeing different people etc. I...don't think that's what it means at all, and I don't know that many people see it that way. My ex changed his relationship status to "widowed" after we split. I thought that was really lame. Wow! Yeah. That's an interesting choice
kaylan Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I see people use that relationship status regardless of age. I think its immature though. Like why do we, your facebook friends, need to know your relationship situation is complicated? A simple single, "is in a relationship with", or "is married to" status is sufficient and so dramatic.
curlygirl40 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 It is immature I think, and a call for attention. My opinion anyway. What is sad is that I see married 40 somethings do this. Just 2 weeks ago my cousin's wife of 20 years changed her relationship status to this. What?! Is that how you tell your family you're having issues in your marriage? Really? Grow up. Sorry, thanks for the opportunity to vent. 1

If my BF and I ever break up, I'll prob just remove my R status all together, rather than switch it from IAR to Single, just cause I don't want the attention and the questions. Plus, it was "nothing" before it was IAR with him. I had a friend who had his blank and then decided to change it to Single (he was single the whole time) and it was so funny all the comments he got from that.
