Breaking up is never easy, it can take a toll on you and you might even contemplate going to beg, cry, call his/her parents, write a break up song, travel to Timbuktu, join the monastery .
Social media has made breaking up a ton harder, why? cos you keep seeing their pictures with other people and it can be tough to deal with.
Here are 5 APPS to help you through a break up
1. KillSwitch – Launched on Valentine’s day of this year, KillSwitch deletes anything on your Facebook that your ex is tagged in (photos, posts, etc.). KillSwitch donates part of the proceeds to the American Heart Association which I think it’s totally awesome at least someone is benefitting from your break up. Lol
2. Ex Lover Blocker – A Brazilian company made an app in June 2012 that alerts your friends when you try call your ex. If you try to work around the alert, the app publicly shames you on Facebook for trying to reach out to your old flame. Now this would definitely stop you from reaching out.
3. Eternal Sunshine – This Facebook extension removes unwanted status updates from your Facebook feed without defriending your ex. While Facebook’s own “hide” feature will remove your ex from your news feed, Eternal sunshine will completely remove them from all aspects of your Facebook experience (suggested friends, profile picture updates, etc.)
4. Never Liked It Anyway – This website is a marketplace for the people dealing with a breakup, where you can sell your ex’s gifts. Sell off that fake Cartier wrist watch he bought or that embarrassingly cheap engagement ring with the huge purple rock
5. DrunkDial – If you haven’t deleted your ex’s phone number from your address book or your memory? This app makes you pass a sobriety test (timed math problems) before it allows you to phone your ex, thus blocking those drunk calls you’ll probably regret the next morning.
