Do you really know who the “One” is? Your true Soulmate?

I'm gaining a new appreciation for couples who make it an entire year without breaking up. A year is actually a pretty long time...especially in this day and age when the average attention span is miniscule. A year includes peaks and valleys in a relationship that you have to traverse to make it through. (opens in new tab) I recently came across a study in Men's Health that outlined the most common breakup points in the year. (opens in new tab) This info was gathered after monitoring Facebook profiles referencing breakups. It was interesting to see that breakups spiked during certain points in the year. Here's my analysis of the are the results:

Spike 1: Valentine's Day

It's ironic that there would be arash of breakups on the most romantic day of the year. (opens in new tab) My theory is that women dump their boyfriends when he drops the ball on Valentine's Day. Perhaps he didn't get a good gift, or he completely forgot about the holiday.

Spike 2: Spring Break

When it starts getting warm again and our hormones start kicking in, it's tough to be in a relationship.

Spike 3: April Fool's Day

Is this a sick joke? Do people really break up as a prank? I'd be in big trouble if I tried to pull that one. (opens in new tab)

Spike 4: Mondays

Mondays consistently spiked in the study. As I get deeper into professional life, I do admit I hate Mondays more and more. I think Monday breakups happen when people are feeling down or depressed. But maybe it's as simple as people just updating their Facebook profiles on Monday. (opens in new tab)

Spike 5: Summer

A layover from spring fever, summer is also a "playful" time of year. It's warm. People are partying and going on vacation. And there's a desire to be free. (opens in new tab) Or, because of all the vacation and adventure, someone may end up cheating which could lead to a breakup. (opens in new tab)

Spike 6: 2 Weeks Before The Holiday Season

When you plan to breakup, you sometimes have to consider timing. Breaking up with someone is mean (opens in new tab), but breaking up with them during the actual holidays is that much more cruel. So, why not get it out of the way before the holidays?

If you're supposed to visit his/her family (opens in new tab), you might want to break up before that — it would be even more awkward if you broke up shortly after seeing the parents and siblings. Also, the holidays tend to make everyone freak out, it's a mini crisis trying to keep up with all the responsibilities.

Lowest Amount of Breakups: Christmas

Case in point: No one wants to break up on Christmas. Who would do that to someone (even though I broke up with a girl on her birthday). The breakup spikes for highest amount occur in spring and right before the holidays. The lowest amount or breakups occur between the end of July and beginning of October.

I'm not sure why the breakups are lower then — perhaps you can enlighten me? What do you think of the study? While it's a small sampling, some of the findings to make sense. What are your thoughts?

1. Overspends. On everything. Starting with new bed sheets (well, we can't sleep in ones that remind us of him, can we?) followed by the edgy (read: HIDEOUS) break-up haircut. £300 down and we feel sooo much better… Nawt. 2. Drinks. A lot. When we're not drinking, we're sending the wine glass emoji, followed by a question mark, to everybody in our phone book. 3. Stockpiles salty snacks. Our pathetic appetites can't handle a full meal right now, so Dairylea triangles and Mini Cheddars count as dinner. And, OK, maybe the odd Malteser bunny/Ben & Jerry's tub. 4. Tries to be 'fine' way too soon. Step 1: Plan one mother of a night out to celebrate our single girl status. Step 2: Begin crying at 9pm into our pinot grigio. Sigh. 5. Tells lies. When he texts to see how we're doing, we reply with, "Sorry, whose number is this?" Yup, really mature. *Slow clap* 6. Tries to be mates with him. Spoiler: it never happens (or at least, not straight away anyway). Stop trying to be cool and just spend the month hating him already. 7. Uploads thinly-veiled digs at him via Instagram quotes. 'Trust? Years to earn, seconds to break'.

8. Turns cyber-sleuth. Who's that girl he's just befriended on Facebook? Who's in his new profile pic? Why has he suddenly started tweeting?

9. Drunk-texts him. You know, totally consistent things, like, "Heeey, I miss you! xoxo" followed by, "I can't believe I ever loved u, never text me again!" because he took more than a minute to reply. 10. Sleeps with somebody we regret. Could be with him, could be a random. Either way, it's usually crap.
