Nice, that extra sex on vacation, but this is the biggest downside

It's really nice, that sun and being free every day. Suddenly you have time for each other. You see each other every day, all day long. Vacation is good for the love life.

And also for your sex life, because of course we go at it more often in some tropical place than when we are boring and dull at home. At home, you live past each other. Work, girlfriends, family... Busy, rushing, flying; absolutely no energy for that quickie at the end of the day. That's what vacations are for, to boost that libido a bit. But it turns out those vacations aren't ultimately that good for your relationship. Even if that extra sex is so nice.

Because most couples would actually break up in September. Or: right after all the vacations. This is precisely because people suddenly find themselves very close to each other at a campsite, in a hotel, or in a vacation home. Spending the whole day together opens your eyes: you no longer fit together and it's over. In September, most divorce papers are then requested. At least 9 percent of all people divorce after a vacation – the only thing that wins from that is cheating and meeting a new love. Someone else. After that, summer vacation is the prude culprit. In September, 30 percent more couples break up than in any other month of the year. Except in January. Then we are again dealing with the aftermath of the holidays and the ways to not dump your partner just before the new year.

It's not just due to the new insight from vacation, financial worries also play a part. Money flew out during the summer and now it's time to face the consequences. That makes people grumpy and grumpiness leads to arguments. Besides vacation, 9 percent also divorce due to financial disagreements. A shame, because money is just money, you might think. And love is... Being happy with each other on that paradise island, it seems.

Wow, I'm glad I get to work all summer. At least I'll have a plus one at the Christmas breakfast.
