Plus, Northwestern University Professor and clinical psychologist Alexandra Solomon, Professor at Northwestern University tells us about how tech has impacted relationships positively and negatively.

Apps for relationships

Couple: Lets you and your partner share messages, videos, and helpful for long-distance relationships.
Avocado: Keep all your shared pics, videos, and messages in one place. You can even “hug” your significant other by holding your phone to your chest. Gross.

Rx Breakup: A 30-day guide that delivers professionally developed self-help techniques in the tone of a trusted girlfriend.
Facebook: Facebook also has added some tools that can help you navigate the ending of a relationship digitally.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
