We all know that the holiday season is a little stressful for couples. If things haven't gone well with you for some time, this is exactly the season where you face the biggest dilemma: Split before the holidays or wait for the New Year to pass?
Sharing with someone during these light days is not that fun. It's just like leaving your birthday, but you better read what the people who did it do.
1 . "Last year I went to Israel and came home for Christmas. The next day I was separated from my boyfriend of 5 years. I was wasting my time on someone else's potential instead of letting them know who it was. It was perfect in Its way, but it wasn't for me.Time is too precious to do away with feelings of guilt or broken memories.It doesn't matter what day it is, separations are hard anyway. or years with someone or something that just doesn't work ?! " - Taylor, 32
2. "I was feeling insecure about boyfriend. We had been together for almost a year. I loved it, but I can't believe I was in love with it. When my sister got engaged on her birthday (a few days before Christmas) something changed in me And I realized I didn't see myself married to him. I once said to wait until the holidays are over, but in fact I wanted to start the new year with a whole new one. So I did. We talked and he told me it felt like me. Today we are good friends. " - Sammy, 31
3. "I had been together for 4 years and usually spent part of his vacation with his family and the rest with mine. That year his family couldn't come and I told him to spend the whole week with my family. The closer the week got, the more anxious I was. I realized I had a time we wanted to break up, at least for some time, but I hadn't made it inertia. i opposed these sensations.
The week before Christmas, I found out that spending the holidays together was simply worse than sharing, so the plans changed. We parted and he cut a ticket to go with his family. At first I felt like the worst person in the world to do this on the eve of the holidays, but it was delightful that each of us was with his family as we faced separation. It seemed like a better alternative than pretending to be happy. "- Allie, 25
4. I was born on New Year's Eve, so my birthday is December 31st. I was going to enter my 25th year so I started to make up my mind what the next year would look like. I was with someone for 2 years at the time, but the relationship wasn't going anywhere. I decided to break up with him 1 week before Christmas. The first feeling was regret, but I did not give up on my decision. On Christmas Eve I met my old love. This summer, I got engaged to her! ?- Carly, 27
5. "I've been dating a guy for a few months, with whom I was thinking of having something serious. But I felt that the closer the holidays came, the more convinced I was that this man wasn't for me. He was emotionally immature. At first I was thinking of waiting until after New Year's, so at least I would kiss someone at midnight (now that I say looks immature on my part.) He just canceled plans and justified why he couldn't be near me. "To endure the next frustration, I decided to leave it at all. I realized I deserved more and didn't want to spend my New Year's kiss with someone I didn't deserve anyway!" -Tania, 28
