It's Not You, It's...No, Wait, It's You

Here is an interesting take on breakups:

“Thanksgiving is really when you have to pull the trigger if you’re not willing to tough it out through February,” Savage says.

Savage has a point: it’s pretty rough to break up with someone at Christmas, and even harder to ditch a relationship right around Valentine’s Day. But at the same time, it’s even crueler to stay in a relationship you’d rather not be in just to protect someone’s feelings throughout the holiday season, isn’t it? I’d imagine that racking up all of those Christmas and New Year’s memories is just adding fuel to the post-breakup fire.

How would you start this conversation? “I know we haven’t seen each other for awhile but I’m breaking up with you. I want to see other people. Could you pass the stuffing?”
