I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but Facebook has added a few additional relationship status options. It appears apart from Single, Married, In a relationship, Engaged, Married, It’s Complicated, In an open relationship, Widowed, Separated, and Divorced you can also select In a civil union and In a domestic partnership . This got thinking, since 73%* of people on Facebook use it for relationship related activities, it would be fun to see them add a few more options.
(* A completely random number I just made up.)
Turns out I’m not the only one with this idea. Here is a list of Relationship Status options I’d like to see them add (the first half of which are borrowed from someone else’s Facebook post).
- Cats only
- Single and awesome
- Baby Daddy
- Experimented at college with
- Blacked out and woke up with
- Playing house with
- Building a pillow fort with
- Shacking up with

- Is a coward and hopes _____ ends the relationship soon
- Quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail with
- Petitioning Congress to make it Illegal for Adam Sandler to Ever Appear in Another Movie with

Yes, I could keep going, but you get the point. I do hope you got a Smirk out of this list and if you happen to be in a comment leaving mood, I’d love to hear some of your own relationship status updates you’d like to see Facebook implement.

How about ‘dragging ________ unconcious from a nightclub toilet’. Or as they say in Ireland -‘the wife’, ‘the missus’ or ‘me ould wan'(F)/’ the auld fella'(M).
Ha! I’ve never in a relationship that required me to do that, but I can see how it could be useful for a Facebook Relationship status. 🙂
