Breaking Up During Holidays So Hard To Do

The holiday season is upon us and for many it's one of the most anticipated times of year. Family members come from out of town and family gatherings are extra special. There are many holiday parties and anything given at this time of year has a holiday feel to it.

It's a good time. I looooooooooove Christmas. I especially love Christmas Eve because it is my parents' anniversary and while growing up we opened gifts on Christmas Eve -- not Christmas Day.

In addition to the gift giving, I remember helping my mom in the kitchen to prepare our big Christmas meal.

Any who. It's just a wonderful time of year to me. I'm not even going to touch on the birthday we celebrate because I will go to church on y'all :)

But on top of family and friend stuff, many people share this time of year with the person that they like or love...ya know, that significant other.

January is the most popular month for filing divorce, however. It's likely because couples are trying to get through the holidays without ruining it for others and changing up the way that things have been done for years.

Plus, I also feel that there is a much larger percentage of men and women than we have ever imagined who are afraid, petrified, mortified, horrified of being alone.

But errrr uhhhh alone is not lonely. I don't think people truly understand that you can be in a relationship and be lonely as heckypoo...nah hell. You can feel like you are in hell with the devil. You can sit in the room with the person who supposedly loves you and feel like you are alone and lonely. Yep, been there done that and not gonna do it again. :)

I also know that going through the holiday with someone who is half sour doesn't feel good either, but people still hold on and hold on for dear life.

But if a couple is experiencing problems in their relationship, should they tough it out and maybe the Holiday spirit will bring them closer? Or should they just call it quits and start rebuilding lives apart -- right away?

After all, that would be one less gift that one would have to think about purchasing....and ummmm likely one of the more expensive gifts LOLOLOLOL

Why is it so hard to break up during the holiday season? Tell me.
