Not-so-happy New Year
With resolutions and new beginnings swirling around, it's easy to anticipate the excitement of the upcoming New Year.
But while some rejoice the beginnings, others — mainly couples — embrace the endings. So much so, that January is the unoffical break-up month, and in London, there is even a day dedicated to terminating relationships! (For those interested in a good date, apparently Jan. 12 is the National Break-Up Day in the U.K.).
It's fairly obvious why some people may view January as a good break-up month. The Holidays are over, so you don't need to deal with the stress while trying to enjoy yourself, and Valentine's Day is still a month away — plenty of time to find a date if you so desire!
It's funny how people time break-ups. I have had more than a few friends delay a break-up or speed it up to miss certain events such as an anniversary or wedding or a holiday. Personally, I have found break-ups can't really be timed because more often than not, it comes at a moment you least expect (even if you have been planning on ending the relationship prior to it actually happening!)
Are you one of those people planning a January break-up, or have you gone through one? What's the attraction there, and is it really the perfect time?
