Waiting Until After the Holidays to Break Up

by Colleen Barrett 17

January is National Breakup Month for a reason: it's believed to have more breakups than any other month. Wedged between the holidays and Valentine's Day, it's a good time sneak away without turning the knife further by leaving during family-centric December or the love fest that is February. But it also seems kind of cruel to go through the motions of the holidays while knowing you're going to leave.

So indecision aside, is it better or worse to wait until after the holidays to break up?
