January is unofficially known as National Breakup Month, with the first Monday of the month known as “Divorce Day.” So what is with all the heartbreak? You can blame it on the fresh starts and resolutions. People often take this period as an opportunity to evaluate their relationships to decide if their needs are being met.
While everyone else is unwrapping presents, some couples are unwrapping their marriage contracts, ready to split faster than you can say, “New Year, new me.”“When are you going to settle down?”Welcome to the notorious divorce season — December through January — when the tinsel might still be sparkling, but many relationships are burning out faster than those dodgy fairy lights your hubby bought at the two-dollar store because he’s a cheap bastard.
According to Sexton, relationships are like gardens — you’ve got to tend to them. A simple “I made you a coffee” or “Let me handle dinner tonight” can go a long way.“Sex is what differentiates a romantic relationship from every other type of relationship,” Sexton says. “Couples that stop prioritizing intimacy often feel like roommates.”
Sexton describes how tiny annoyances can snowball if left unchecked: “It’s never the big things; it’s the toothpaste cap, the socks on the floor, the dishes in the sink.”6. “Cheating as a Symptom, Not a Cause”7. “Identity Loss” He stresses the importance of maintaining hobbies, friendships and a sense of self: “You can’t pour from an empty cup.”“People think a prenup is unromantic, but it’s actually the opposite,” Sexton explains. “It’s saying, ‘I trust you enough to talk about the hard stuff before it becomes a problem.’ ”Seriously, we should be paying top dollar for this advice. All it cost me was a martini and some cheeky banter.
