Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik broke up just days before the start of November, Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes announced their separation yesterday after two years of relationship, and also Kaia Gerber and Jacob Elordi ended the romance and these are just a few examples. So much separation in a short time.
Why is it thought that a good portion of couples split up in November? Have you ever heard of the term "turkey drop"? It is a phrase used to describe the period around Thanksgiving (the rooster is the traditional cooking of this holiday). The term refers to the period when students are separated from the girlfriends they had in high school, although the term does not only include students.
While taking vacations, students may feel pressured in terms of connection. Going home for a vacation can mean worries about your partner or family perception of the seriousness of the relationship - not to mention the stress of the situation of potential family engagements. "The thought of inviting someone to a family reunion can be overwhelming," psychiatrist Rhonda Mattox told Cosmopolitan.
Po kështu, një pjesë ndahet pasi universiteti shënon një fazë të re të njohjes së vetes dhe shumë çifte, të cilët janë lidhur në gjimnaz, nuk e gjejnë veten të përmbushur, gjë të cilën e kuptojnë pasi nisin universitetin. Javët e para larg shtëpisë mund të jenë vendimtare. Të rinjtë hyjnë në një fazë emocionuese dhe sfiduese. Ata mund të zbulojnë se nevojat e tyre ndryshojnë dhe nevojat për ndryshim mund të përshpjegojnë ndarjen.
But simple statistics about when couples tend to separate suggest that November is not the month of separation just for students. In 2010, data reporter Devin McCandless analyzed more than 100,000 Facebook profiles, only to find that the largest increase in splits occurred shortly after Valentine's Day and shortly before the spring break - but another significant increase appeared shortly before Christmas.
It is thought that separation before the end of the year breaks the pressure of new relationships. Staying in a relationship over the holidays can result in things moving at a faster pace. The decision to separate can be related to the fear of engagement, meeting with the partner's family as well as giving gifts.
