When did breaking-up become 2.0? It seems like it happened overnight. Many people wouldn’t consider a current relationship to be valid unless it’s been posted on Facebook. Facebook was founded in 2004, not all that long ago, but can anyone remember what it was really like before then? Before Facebook you could go months without knowing who someone else was dating. But today the entire relationship cycle has evolved. During a relationship you can see every good and bad aspect documented via the Facebook News Feed. Factor in that your Facebook News Feed can now be delivered instantly to your mobile phone; we come to expect all of our dating information to be in real-time digital form. Following someone’s relationship via Facebook can be more compelling at times then prime-time television. But the 2.0 relationship has evolved even more, particularly in regards to breaking-up.



Let’s take an example.

1. You have a terrible day, you realize that your life sucks at the current moment so you post your story on FML (Fmylife.com)



2. Your partner, or rather now EX partner realized that your bad day now means your relationship needs to end. Being that relationships are now 2.0, you receive a text message that you’re breaking-up. You then post that text message on TFLN (Textsfromlastnight.com)
   
   
   



3. Completing the new breakup cycle you then make your last stop on over to uBUH (Youbrokeuphow.com). Posting your breakup story is the final stop on a 2.0 breakup.

So in summary:



A bad day (Fmylife.com) > Txt msg breakup (Textsfromlastnight.com) > Post your breakup story (Youbrokeuphow.com)
