break up disease?

[lilcupcake]

The past few times i've logged on and scanned through posts, I've noticed more and more break ups each time D:

I'm sure there are various reasons, and not every relationship is "meant to be". I suppose i really just want to say, hang in there guys. for the ones suffering heart break, and the ones still suffering distance. we're all here for support, no matter what the issue. so stay strong, stay classy, and always keep your'e head up, even when the world is resting on your shoulders. you're awesome!

There tends to be waves of break ups, and waves of engagements. In the winter, typically, the break ups happen. In the spring, the engagements start to happen. I think it has something to do with the changing weather in the winter time and the setting in of seasonal affective disorder. Not saying all break ups are because of that. Mine ended because things had been rocky for awhile and it was just something we knew we had to do. We tried to fix things for a long time, but in the end, this is how it ended up. But, we are still best friends. (That has nothing to do with my answer lol).

They're ending now before anyone has to start worrying about buying christmas gifts!

Hear, hear very well said. I also noticed the wave of break ups and I remembered this https://a2480f25-n.blogspot.fi/2010/...#axzz2mCsjyapM

I've noticed this too. Thanks lilcupcake for your words of encouragement! Interesting that it's been scientifically proven...damn seasons. XD

Like loveknowsnodistance says, there's waves of break ups, engagements, weddings and etc. Now I've been here more than 3 years, and unfortunately I've noticed that it's a pattern which seems bound to happen.
Not sure if it's always seasonal, but there has always been some kind of chain reaction - especially with the bad news.

it is seasonal wether LD or CD. Distance definitely takes its toll tho, especially around the holidays when you see other couples doing all the holiday stuff together.
if a relationship is meant to be, it will stand the distance and time.

I can definitely understand LD problems around the colder seasons. Stupid cuddly people. Do that at home!

BAHAHAHA I think I have that thought at least once a day nowadays!

I noticed a pattern in 'real life' too, a lot of people break up when they reach their mid twenties. It's like they start examining their goals and needs, and many of the relationships that started in high school/college aren't fulfilling anymore. I think a lot of forum members fit that age bracket.

I've noticed this too. Never connected it to seasons, though xD.

Its probably a good thing they break up then. its a bit sad it took that long for them to think about what they really wanted though.

I don't know if I'd describe it that way to be honest. I think it often just happens to have run its course. People change, their goals change and they often grow in different direction than their partners. And a lot of these changes happen after you finish school and have to face adult life. Not everything is meant to last forever, which doesn't mean it wasn't what you really wanted at the time. Just at some point you or your partner changed. But of course, most of the time you only realise it in hindsight.

Aye, I think mine might be ending, too. :/ it really shines a light, though, on the important matters in life. The little things about him.. wow. But the little things in life.. well, it doesn't matter so much. Seeing the big picture, I guess you could say. Missing what you don't have.
