As if breakups aren’t hard enough. Now we have to deal with them in the technologically invasive world of today. You pretty much have to breakup with your ex through a dozen different mediums. You can buy yourself six bottles of cheap wine and a tub of Ben & Jerry’s, or you can download these ingenious apps. Whether classy, crazy, or somewhere in between, here are the best apps to help you get over that sleazy ex.
App: Eternal Sunshine
Classy To Crazy Level: Audrey Hepburn
If you haven’t had the blatant, crazy-girl urge to de-friend him on Facebook, your breakup is about as classy as it gets. But, really, who wants to see their ex’s loser face popping up amid your Facebook browsing? Or worse, your ex with his new rebound who’s totally a 4? Yuck. This clever and classy extension on Google Chrome has the ability to hide your ex (or anyone else for that matter) from your Facebook newsfeed without de-friending them. Classy as Chanel.
App: KillSwitch
Classy To Crazy Level: Lauren Conrad
So maybe you couldn’t care less if your ex remains your friend on Facebook or not. You need this guy out of your life, like, yesterday. But who wants to go through the tedious and tearful task of deleting all your kissy photos and sappy love comments? Killswitch is like the hit man of ex-lovers. He does the dirty work so you can remain tear free and clean-handed. It’s pure practical. Now, time for 36 straight hours of The Mindy Project reruns.
App: Designated Dialer
Classy To Crazy Level: Snooki
When your breakup leaves you feeling like you need a shot of tequila, somehow, you always end up with eleven. And 11 deep, you’re strangely tempted to call your ex and tell him exactly how you felt that one night you said you were fine, when clearly you weren’t. Don’t take the chance; get this app to save you from morning-after regret. Designated Dialer allows you to lock certain contacts for the time being, until you pass a simple coordination test. Bottoms up!
App: Shred Your Ex
Classy To Crazy Level: Lindsay Lohan
If all you want to see is that bastard’s face shredded over a burning fire, then this is for you. Upload a photo of your ex on Twitter or Instagram with the #ShredYourEx, then head over to shredyourex.tv to watch a printout of your photo get shredded over a digital fire. The rest is a burning inferno of shredded history. Just like that rancid relationship.
Note: The website is seasonal. Actual shredding will have to wait until next V-Day. In the mean time, hashtag away.
