Facebook is preparing to roll out new tools that are aimed at making the post-breakup period easier.

Nowadays, a relationship often becomes “official” by being announced on the social media website. Likewise, many friends and family often learn of a relationship ending the same way.

Until now, after breaking up the choices are staying friends with your ex on Facebook or unfriending them.

Either way, the photos, videos, and other moments of you and your ex together will still be around.
