The Most Common Times Of Year For Breakups Is Upon Is
Pre-Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving
Between Nov. 7 and Nov. 27, searches on “how to break up” surge in Wyoming, Iowa, Alaska and Florida.
The bulk of this time is still pre-family-gatherings. Some couples didn’t want to call it quits before Halloween. Maybe their couples’ costume depends on a significant other or they want a date to an event. Either way, that brings us in to early November, and while people start considering what they’re grateful for leading up to Thanksgiving, they might decide their partner doesn’t make the cut.
Why it happens: Thanksgiving is an emotionally charged time of year. There’s the simple matter that November is National Gratitude Month, meaning we’re all encouraged for weeks to consider what uplifts us, supports us and makes our lives better. If your relationship doesn’t fit that description, it’s hard to ignore it this time of year. Then, there’s this other thing: if you stick it out through Thanksgiving, you might feel obligated to stick it out all the way through New Year’s Eve. You’re either doing the holiday season together or you’re not.
