Breakups and makeups
In my opinion the biggest months for breakups in relationships are October and May. Just think back to all of the relationships you have had over the course of your life and I betcha that over half of them ended during those two months.
There is a simple reason for this, October specifically Halloween is a big day for breakups. My friend Kate has a theory and you can tie it in to the slutty costumes girls wear, (i.e. slutty nurse, dirty pirate hooker, slutty schoolgirl, BTW I am a HUGE fan of the slutty schoolgirl.) Girls dress provocatively because either they are trying to keep their man or subconsciously trying to break-up with him by getting other guys interested in them thus making the jealous and thinking that they are not worth the time. Halloween falls before the big holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. That is a time where you should be with family and if you are in a relationship that is not working for you, you don't want to spend it with that person knowing that they are not going to make it to the New Year's kiss.
Now May is right before the summer starts, I hearken back to my high school and college days where you would never want a relationship over the summer because that would "tie you down" not allowing you to hook up with other people without that real guilty feeling, so it was just easier to break up and if you made up when the school year got back into full swing all the better.
Whether or not to stay in relationships, is one of the toughest decisions we make as human beings and we stay in relationships for different reasons; money, kids, sex, lack of a better option, feel free to insert your other insane reasons here. Sometimes you don't even know why you are in a relationship, you are in just in it for the sake of being a relationship. I guess what I'm trying to say is relationship are tough, they are something that need to be worked on and if you enter one, you best be ready cause you never know where it will take you.
Let me also wish Godspeed to Maj. Vincent Moss who is leaving us for his third stint in the middle east since this president bush "war of terror" started. My prayers and the prayers of my readers (all 9 of them) are with you.
