Today, while surfing facebook I noticed someone in my network had recently shifted his relationship status from undeclared to "single." We've been dating exclusively for nine months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend informed me that we aren't officially dating until she changes her Facebook relationship status. We've been "dating" for 3 months. FML
Today, I had a date with a girl I'd been seeing for about a month. When I got home, I saw her Facebook status changed to "In a relationship." This made me kind of excited, until I realized it wasn't with me. FML
Today, I saw the girl I had started dating changed her Facebook relationship status to "In a relationship". Naturally, I changed mine too. The next time I logged on, she had commented, "Really?! Who?!" She was serious. FML
Today, I logged onto Facebook to find out that my boyfriend is now listed as single. News to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend changed his relationship status on Facebook to "Single" and his status to "I'm not kidding, leave your key on the counter." FML
Today, I changed my relationship status on Facebook from "in a relationship" to "single." I forgot to take my phone to work, and when I got back, I saw someone had replied, "What happened?" Someone else commented, "He broke his hand." My ex and a bunch of other "friends" liked it. FML
Today, I had the displeasure of watching my boyfriend’s Facebook go from “In a relationship” with me to “Single”, then switched to a big “In a relationship with” the girl he told me was “just a friend” post, after ending our 5-year relationship over text message. FML
Today, I found out I was single by scrolling through Facebook and seeing my (now ex) boyfriend's relationship as "single." I was at work, in the middle of my shift. I haven't been electronically dumped since Middle School. He's 36. FML
Today, after dating my girlfriend for about a month, she changed her Facebook status to taken. When I saw the update, I immediately clicked "Like." Then I looked up and saw I wasn't the person she had put herself in a relationship with. FML
Today, I logged on to Facebook to find that my boyfriend's relationship status had changed to being in a relationship with his ex. I asked him about it, and all he said was, "I guess I forgot to break up with you." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT. Communication. Use it.

Don't these sites select a default if you don't have one selected? It might be a bug in facebook. Try it. Go remove your status, make it hidden or whatever, then go back and don't change it, see if it changes for you. Maybe he wanted it to be visible, but forgot to update it, and it's single by default.

I agree with #5. Atleast you saw the status and can now dump them and move on..

#7 - this is true: my friend regularly changes his housemates relationship status to "in an open relationship" for giggles. #9 - also a good point, the default is sinlge, so if all he did was enable "show my relationship status", that would have happened. The guy could also be a douchebag, but facebook status isn't something i'd recommend ending a relationship over unless you're 12, lol.

Sounds like a cheater to me. It might be a false alarm, but he should be proud of you.

#10- the default is actually undeclared, you then manually change it to in a relationship or single.
