Why People May Get Divorced This Time of Year
THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT WORK TO GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAY SEASON.
If you and your spouse are trying to make it work, you may have decided to continue to work on your marriage and stay together through the holiday season. This may be an attempt to rekindle your relationship during the holidays - which are typically a time of joy and celebration.
ISSUES CAME TO LIGHT.
The holidays are a time of year when a couple is forced to plan and work together. From shopping for gifts to planning time with your families, it can be stressful on any relationship. If you have flaws in your marriage, this time of year may bring those to the surface.
PROCRASTINATION.
Many couples decide to put off divorce until after the holidays. This may make it a little easier to get through the holiday season with fewer questions about their relationship from friends and family. It can also be tough on children to have a divorce right before the holidays and many parents may think it is better for their family if they wait to announce their divorce until the holiday festivities have concluded.
NEW YEAR, NEW OUTLOOK.
The new year is typically a time for setting goals and reflecting upon the past year. While many couples probably don't set a resolution to get divorced, they may set new goals for their personal or professional life. If they look back upon the past year and aren't happy, they may believe their partner is one of the reasons they aren't where they would like to be and divorce may seem like the solution for their unhappiness.
