Cracker Jack Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Define weird things. I've seen the holidays strengthen relationships more times than not, honestly.
Seamless74 Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Your cousins a smart man,,, Nothing will wreck on otherwise pathetic relationship more than the holidays. Family engagements, social settings, having to spend cash on someone, all kinds of stuff could put pressure on relationships especially those that are not strong or are just out of convenience..
Surrealist Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 People do weird things to relationships.
Author Kain Highwind Posted December 22, 2010 Author Posted December 22, 2010 Define weird things. I've seen the holidays strengthen relationships more times than not, honestly. Well he said that with holidays, people like come back from college, friends reunite, and people just act differently. Its a stressful time He said that its like the biggest time for breakups. Like, one person may be hanging out with old friends, see a girl he hasn't seenin a long time, may do something, blah blah
USMCHokie Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 It's because the holidays create an expectation that wouldn't otherwise be there. And expectations make people do weird things.
Surrealist Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 To provide you with a more thorough and meaningful answer to your question Kane, with regard to romantic relationships as I assume you enquire, holidays create a lot of available time. People in relationships therefore get to spend a lot more time together that they otherwise would not throughout the year when they are at work or school or college. This available time where couples spend lots of time together can get quite boring and mundane, seeing your partner all the time and tolerating their annoying traits and so on, can raise tensions and thus the couple may argue more often and in the worse case situations, split up during these times. This is why it is often noted that couples split up more often during holiday periods, in addition to the relationship stress triggers Seamless points out above.

So... If the two were friends for years that got together after not seeing each other for a year (he asked her out on a date the first time he saw her), it probably won't last?
Surrealist Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 So... If the two were friends for years that got together after not seeing each other for a year (he asked her out on a date the first time he saw her), it probably won't last? Kain please don't tell me (us) that this query regards your princess and her current boyfriend does it?
Author Kain Highwind Posted December 22, 2010 Author Posted December 22, 2010 Kain please don't tell me (us) that this query regards your princess and her current boyfriend does it? I'm pleading the fifth >_>
Art_Critic Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Christmas is the time to forgive those in our lives who we have been at odds with.. It is the time to go into the new year knowing we have forgiven those people who have hurt us and start anew. That is why people act weird.. We all think about those things this time of year and many of us act on those thoughts...
Jannah Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Kain please don't tell me (us) that this query regards your princess and her current boyfriend does it? My thoughts exactly...
Feelin Frisky Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Holidays provide the prompts to cause people to reveal where they are at in life. Sometimes people are not proud of where they are at and can withdraw or be jealous or what have you. People often drink under the sign of Christmas cheer but among them will be those who just aren't happy with themselves and/or their relationships. There's always pressure to spend money. And there's always pressure to measure up. There's pressure to shop. Pressure to decorate, pressure to contact people, pressure to cook, to be on your best behavior. And there is temptation too. The holiday don't ensure that relationships will take a hit but somewhere they are resulting in that.
