CASTANET.NET - JANUARY IS THE MONTH TO BE DUMPED - January 2, 2010

January 9, 2010

If December is the month of family and February is the month of romance, then you can call January the month to be dumped.

West Kelowna resident Shauna Henderson says it was last January 12 when she broke up with her boyfriend of more than a year.

"It's so callous," says Henderson, 28. "It makes me sound like a jerk, but honestly, it was a New Year's resolution (to break up with him).

"I kind of knew it was over about a month before Christmas, but I didn't want to break up with him during the holidays."

According to a study released by Cupid.com, the largest online dating site in North America, four out of 10 people will re-assess their relationships in January after the holiday season is over.

Anna Zornosa, vice president and general manager of Yahoo! Personals (which owns Cupid.com), says that people tend to put up with their partner so they have someone for the holidays. "Once the festivities are over, it's time to decide whether to fish or cut bait."

"It’s like clockwork," says Karen Stewart, CEO of Fairway Divorce Solutions, which opened a franchise office in West Kelowna in September of 2009. "December is dead - we could almost close down our office. But by January 10, the phone is ringing off the hook."

Henderson says she has been the one to be dumped in January as well.

"I was younger, I think 21 or 22, when my boyfriend dumped me a few weeks before Valentine's Day.

"I'm not sure it's a totally conscious thing, it just seems like better timing, I guess, than breaking up with someone on Christmas or Valentine's Day."
