I like where you're going with this.
Have you ever explored the IAT (Implicit Association Test) at Harvard's site? ( https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/ ) The IAT "is an experimental method within social psychology designed to measure the strength of automatic association between mental representations of objects." (Wikipedia).
Pictures could be pulled from Facebook of the user with his/her significant other and pictures without the significant other. And then the app could have the user run through an IAT-like test where their associations of those images to both positive/negative words is measured. Possibly this could give some sort of indication of the sentiment towards the significant other vs being single..
