Beware: in this month, most relationships run aground
The sizzling sex parties on those sultry evenings are becoming scarcer, your vacation feeling washed away upon returning home, and you are back to bickering with each other as usual. In short, your relationship is about as gray as the sky outside. Recognizable? Then be careful, because the day when people break up is approaching. Although you might still be just in time to do something about it.
When the butterflies are back in their cocoon, you have a little less than two months to ensure they start fluttering again. Research shows that December 11 is by far the most popular day to end a relationship. This year, this dubious day falls on a Sunday, so you might want to skip that visit to the difficult in-laws. You'll only end up arguing on the way back, and you don't want your relationship to crash because you gave a lecture about your impossible mother-in-law.
By the way, it sounds like quite a logical day, because if you're no longer interested in your relationship, you certainly don't want to spend the holidays together. December 11 is still a safe fourteen days to run away from an uncomfortable Christmas. Two weeks in advance is also particularly safe regarding gifts that haven't been bought yet, so count your gains. I somewhat understand this tactic.
How can you tackle this? For convenience, let's assume your relationship is worth saving. Book a vacation with a departure date of December 11. No one in their right mind would think of breaking up on that day. Or make sure you're not tempted to have a difficult conversation by only planning fun activities. Think: Sunday morning sex, breakfast out, walking on the beach, enjoying a luxurious lunch, Sunday afternoon sex, and a visit to a comedy club. A comedy club? Yes, cheerful people are surely less likely to break up.
And when that Sunday finally passes, it's already Monday. But don't think you can breathe a sigh of relief, because that also seems to be a popular day to end a relationship.
