Ouch, that made my mind come up with a different startup idea, Relationship Management software. Basically it would be a website where you can post updates about your relationship every day, like "Last night we argued for 30 minutes" or "I feel that he's unusually emotionally distant" or something like that. You would also input your partner's astrological sign, and so on. And the website would give you an overall prognosis and some sort of bullshit psychological advice, like "Try to be more conscious of your needs in the relationship" or "At this point it's likely that he's cheating on you". And it would show tons of ads for related products and services. I think some people would love it!

For a different sort of person, any sort of quantified self about relationships would be interesting. (I heard that an app exists where you record a happy face or a sad face after every time talking to a long distance partner, and it doesn't give you any advice. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name or where I heard of it.)
