Ah, December—it’s the season of joy, generosity, and, apparently, breakups! December 11 has earned itself the title of “national breakup day,” right before all the holiday gatherings kick off. According to the experts at Flirtini, about 75% of people have found themselves single just in time for the holidays. Talk about a chilly wind! The pressure to showcase happily-ever-after vibes can push couples right off the ledge of love.
So what’s causing all this heartache just when we’re supposed to be decking the halls? It turns out that holiday stressors like inviting a partner to family gatherings and worrying about gift-giving can create rifts. Anastasiya Pochotna, Flirtini’s dating expert, has identified five telltale signs that your relationship might be headed for the exit door. If your partner’s compliments sound like they’re prepping for the breakup speech of the century, or if they suddenly have a packed social calendar but seem too “busy” for you, those could be major red flags waving in your love life.
But wait—before you start binge-watching rom-coms with a pint of ice cream, let’s keep this in perspective! A little awareness can go a long way in helping you navigate these stressful times. So keep your eyes peeled for those signs, and who knows? You might just emerge from the holiday season still holding hands instead of breaking hearts. Merry breakup season, everyone!
