Most Facebook users have a love-hate relationship with the social network. Many will, at some point, consider giving it up and deleting their account.

But ending a relationship is always hard, and so it is with Facebook. In fact, it's about to get even harder: Facebook users who've decided to leave the social network will now have to wait twice as long to finally say goodbye.

This is because Facebook has extended the reflection period for members who've chosen to permanently delete their account. Instead of 14 days, the process will now take 30 days.

If a user changes their mind and logs in during the reflection period, they're able to cancel the account deletion. – dpa
