Chin Up Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 ..But when I joined, It seems a good chunk of us had all been dumped around the same time. Obviously, there's been new joiners since, but Oct/Nov really seemed to be the "prime time" for breakups. I've also noticed a lot less activity by us in the threads lately, and some people haven't been around at all..so what do you know, we're doing pretty good! Not sure what the point of this thread was lol, just seemed strange to me that there was a flurry of broken hearts during those months. Maybe it's some kind of primal instinct to be "free" around that time. 4
Aint_Easy Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Yup. I have no idea why people want to feel free, right around the holidays where love can be the most magical but.. yup. I honestly joined this forum to feel better about my situation, but I think I'm here to stay. I find it soothing and rewarding to give people advice and make them feel like they aren't alone. plus it puts my own situation into perspective. 2
amaysngrace Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Seasonal depression makes people miserable. Maybe they think being in a relationship is bringing them down or maybe they're just trying to spare you from having to deal with them when they're not in their best frame of mind?
aggie382 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I have several friends who've broken up in the last 3 weeks, including 2 marriages. I think the new year makes people want to 'start fresh' in a new way. But the endings have been quite cruel. One was with a Dear John later and divorce papers. It came out of nowhere. That's not exactly the best way to start the year off on the right foot, for either of them!
aggie382 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Because they are awful people Aww, I wouldn't go that far! I really do think the seasons play a role in inspiring people to change and take action.
batt Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Aww, I wouldn't go that far! I really do think the seasons play a role in inspiring people to change and take action. I got dumped right after thanksgiving so I'm pretty jaded.
Author Chin Up Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 hahaha I got dumped on Thanksgiving (Canuck, not Yank). Yeah, thanks for that... . And my ex before him broke up with me on Near Years day. Holidays are out to get me lol.
Light Breeze Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I got dumped right after thanksgiving so I'm pretty jaded. Got dumped in oct, two days after our 7th year anniversary so I'm pretty jaded too.
bigtrouble Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 What's with holidays, seems a lot of BUs happen during those times. Is it like the season of Break Ups. I got dumped 2 days before Christmas I hate these Important Calendar dates, Now her B-Day is coming. Gotta fight, gotta stay strong NC, NC, NC...

She hated Xmas so probably wanted to ruin mine, which she did. My bday is in a few days. People just suck. 1
towardthefuture Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I got dumped on black friday. Truly a black, black friday
Nolan 93 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 got dumped on nov 17th right before the holidays very bad way to end the year
bigtrouble Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I have a theory here, why holidays, they find a new love and they spend so much time with this person, and they have holiday plans, this brings them closer together and farther from you. I guess this makes the ideal time a dumper will dump you...
unforgotten Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 She went with me when I had an advocacy of my master's degree in the beginning of the october. I even thank her for the love and the way she is and that she's there for me in my paper. In the middle of october we spent her birthday together and had sex. A few days later she dumped me. We'd have our seventh anniversary at the end of the october. She spent it with her new love. Awesome, huh?
JonjMie Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I got the need space text a week before Christmas, managed to get through Christmas together but her heart wasn't in it and I could feel it but buried my head in the sand. Text finally came 5th January
gnick Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I was dumped the last of oct. I'm more miserable than ever. Bad last week
gnick Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) But then I broke no contact a few times Edited January 17, 2015 by gnick
FancyFace Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I got dumped just before the festive season and two weeks before we were supposed to go on our one year anniversary getaway. He had the audacity to ask me what I was gonna do with the holiday which was already paid for, think he wanted it to take his new girlfriend away on it. Bastard.
