It’s ‘Red Tuesday’ The #1 Day For Breakups
Several years ago, I heard a radio interview with a "dating expert" who said the period between Thanksgiving & Valentine's Day is ''peak dumping time." It seems many people reevaluate their relationships during that time. Today, February 7th, is the peak day of peak dumping season, according to illicitencounters.com. The site reports 57% of those break up for fear of getting, or feeling pressured into, a marriage proposal. 55% reportedly have enough class to do it face to face, while 28% do it over the phone. 5% stoop as low as using social media to dump someone. Have you ever been dumped right before Valentines Day?
