December is poised as a festive month. Everyone says that it should be all about happiness, forgiveness, and generosity. But as much as we want to avoid the topic, it&rsquo;s also the month of breakups. Statistically, more couples break up in December than in many other months, and it&rsquo;s not hard to see why. Even Taylor Swift had her experience with the winter breakup season&ndash;she knows the heartbreak all too well!&nbsp;
Breakups happen during the holiday season because events like this magnify emotions. December's arrival brings a lot of expectations to the table: meeting family members who seem too nitpicky, getting each other the perfect gifts, and attending (dreaded) events together. For couples who are already on shaky ground, these pressures can highlight unresolved issues. If you&rsquo;ve swept something under the rug earlier this year, best believe it will reappear.
End-of-year introspection also plays a role. If something doesn&rsquo;t feel right, the thought of dragging it into the next year can be unbearable. Add to that the desire of not having the patience to &ldquo;start fresh&rdquo; in January with unresolved baggage, and you&rsquo;ve got a recipe for a December split.
If you&rsquo;re one of the unlucky few who got struck by the December bad luck, then maybe that person isn&rsquo;t really for you. It&rsquo;s the universe&rsquo;s way to give you a clean slate. The right person will carry over this year and will continue to celebrate more Christmases and New Year with you. And if you&rsquo;re lucky enough to still have your partner beside you on January 2, then congratulations! We dare say, &ldquo;Sana all!&rdquo;
