“I’m Busy”
If you remember Facebook in its heyday, you no doubt remember how crucial the relationship status was on your profile. That little status of “in a relationship,” “single,” or “it’s complicated” spoke volumes to your public image. Some people thought the relationship status was more important than the actual relationship, though.
This person got dumped and didn’t even know it until a friend reached out to them. Their then-girlfriend had sent a vague IM about being “busy” and not able to hang out “for a while.” That doesn’t sound like a breakup to us! She must’ve thought it was good enough because she promptly changed her relationship status without further notice. Ouch.
