It is always unpleasant to quarrel and break up. Negative emotions only intensify if the quarrel occurs on the eve of the holidays.
At such moments, in addition to the pain of the breakup, comes the realization that the special day will have to be spent alone.
Let's look at the reasons why people break up before the holidays.
A confluence of circumstances
Often, breakups happen on the eve of a holiday due to simple coincidences.
The stress that occurs during the pre-holiday period makes people more irritable. As a result, conflict arises out of nowhere, and when its participants cool down, everything ends with reconciliation of the parties.
In addition, if a conflict occurs on an ordinary day, it is easily forgotten, whereas a quarrel before a holiday remains in the memory for a long time.
The relationship has run its course
Before holidays, especially New Year or birthday, people often have a desire to change something in their lives.
Symbolic dates provoke the desire to start a new life, and if the relationship has reached its critical point, such holidays can become a catalyst for separation.
Such decisions are not always well-considered: sometimes the desire to break off a relationship comes on a wave of emotions, when a person, for example, sees ideal relationships of other couples in photos on social networks. When the feelings subside, the initiator of the breakup understands that he chopped wood in the heat of the moment, and goes to make peace - as a rule, after the holidays have passed.
Stress from the upcoming holidays
Holidays don't always bring joy - they also often come with social expectations and pressures.
There are a whole bunch of “rules” about how to celebrate certain days, what to give and how to behave.
Of course, when people find themselves in such conditions, they want to protect themselves from stress. The easiest way to do this is to quarrel with a partner, and the conflict arises unconsciously, since we see our other half as the cause of our worries.
Reluctance to give gifts
And, of course, some people break up on purpose before the holidays and make up later because they don’t want to give gifts or take part in the holiday preparations.
The smartest thing to do in this situation is to talk to your partner about how you both want to celebrate (or not celebrate) this or that event.
