Due to the amount of data and information Facebook has on most of its members, the site is able to predict how long your relationship will last.
According to the
Huffington Post, if two people have been officially a couple on Facebook for longer then three months, they are in it for the long haul.
The study doesn’t take into account anyone who has a married status.
Facebook data scientist (yes, that exists)
Bogdan State has analyzed Facebooks users relationship statuses from 2008 to 2011 and came to the following conclusion.
“About half of all Facebook relationships that have survived three months are likely to survive to four years or longer,” Bogdan claims.
The study also examined breakup patterns which returned results that most relationships are likely to end in the summer.
Apparently, 2011 was a very bad year for breakups.
So Facebook isn’t watching you... Well, not really.
