Today is Valentine ’s Day — a great apology to drop a romantic eve with your significant other(s ) , and a pretty cool fourth dimension to put to work on commission at a jewelry stock . But for every couple or polyamorous gaggle sharing swig of cheap wine , there are plenty of single people just trying to draw a blank about the sickening horizontal surface of PDA they ’re adhere to have rubbed in their sad , lonely faces .
Even the romantically entangled among us have all had their average share of horrifying mishap in Sexville : The ex-husband who lie about a bunch of shit , the ex who develop in a different direction , the ex who was really a pig and spent four long old age of wedlock investigating your potential connection to an anarchist grouping that really , in the scheme of thing , did n’t do all that much to smash the body politic . We ’ve all been there .
But if you block — perhaps even tried to blank out — Facebook ’s helpful On This Day feature article is here to remind you . That ’s the fun little widget that shows you a post from this particular date in year past . On Valentine ’s solar day , it ’s only slimly less alarming than the time Facebooktold a clustering of users they had died .
