Question
How do I check someone's relationship status on Facebook if it's private?
Community Answer
You can't. If someone's profile or information is private, there is no way for you to view it.

Question
Is it possible my ex-boyfriend changed his relationship status to something else but still has it set to show "In a Relationship" for me?
Community Answer
No. Someone can hide their relationship status from friends (so you wouldn't see anything at all), but Facebook can't be used to send false information to one person.

Tips
If you want to know the relationship status of a person who is not your friend, you will not have permission to view the status in most cases. Most people on Facebook share their relationship only to their friends.

Do not install any third party app on your Facebook profile to determine relationship statuses as no app has permission to trump Facebook privacy settings. Such apps may steal your profile information.
