Breaking up is already a painful process – then you have to add in the awkwardness of removing your online relationship from all aspects of your social media.
Those holiday snaps from your two week holiday package, loved-up statuses and the awkward “in a relationship” to removing your dating history are all unfortunate factors that now go with the heartache and tears of waving goodbye to a future with ‘the one’.
If that stinging reality is too much to bear, you can now hire the services of a ‘Social Media Break Up Coordinator’.
According to TheDailyDot, for a $10 consultation Caroline Sinders personally takes the headache out of your heartache, by deleting the cute photos, unfriending the ex, erasing contact information from your phone (as well as holding it for a safe place in case you want to cave and unfollowing accounts that will connect you with your once significant other.

It might sound like a scene from ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ – but it could be the cold distance you need to put between yourself and your ex to help heal and move on.
Speaking to TheDailyDot, Sinders explained her motivation for setting up the business:
“I’ve got a pretty clear understanding as to where the algorithms have holes and fall apart. One thing I noticed is that once you start to get to know someone and that relationship sours … it’s still really hard to mute someone that you know that is being mean to you or won’t talk to you, or broke up with you, or you hurt them. That doesn’t feel good for most people.”
“It’s a manual labor you have to do, and when you’re in a high-stress or highly emotional place, it’s another frustrating thing—it’s a mechanism that adds to the frustration of living.”
Having been through a few break-ups ourselves, this is definitely a service we could have done with over the years.
Those Bebo ‘luvs’ were cruel.
