Why do so many couples separate immediately after the Christmas holidays? According to relationship expert Clio Wood, there are several reasons. Here are his tips for avoiding the post-holiday crisis
Have you ever heard of “Divorce Day”? It’s the day of the year when we separate the most. Do you know when it falls? Exactly the first Monday after the end of the Christmas holidays.
According to relationship expert Clio Wood, for many couples the Christmas period is a source of stress and frustration, nothing but happy smiles around the tree! The reason? There is more than one, starting from the need to show oneself “better” than one is.
If you add to this little sex (because they are too busy with other things), high doses of alcohol and commitments as if there were no tomorrow, it goes without saying that the couple explodes. But what are they? the 5 most serious mistakes that couples commit at this time of year, those that can even lead to separation or divorce… on the first Monday after the holiday? Clio Wood reveals it in a post published in “The Sun”.
Don’t split up the daily chores
According to relationship expert Clio Wood, women take on about double the responsibilities when it comes to childcare, not to mention their mental burden, which is much higher than that of men. Christmas doesn’t improve the situation at all, on the contrary it exacerbates it. So the advice is to divide the tasks more equally or at least try to do so.
Don’t make love
During the holidays you normally visit a lot of people and the time to dedicate to sex is drastically reduced, resulting in a worsening of mood. To overcome the problem, the expert recommends planning some spicy evenings in advance.
Cooking to last
It’s not a good idea to start cooking on Christmas day because stress is guaranteed and tension can play tricks even on couples. Much better to agree and prepare the vast majority of dishes in advance.
Don’t keep calm with relatives
Most likely during the holidays you will have to (re)meet relatives you don’t like. Provocations are difficult to tolerate, but it is highly recommended to remain calm in such a tense situation… even with your in-laws. Word of Clio Wood!
Stay out late at night
We know that Christmas is a time for going out with colleagues, relatives, friends and every occasion is a good one to party and drink a little. Everything is normal, but be careful not to overdo it too much. Among other things, alcohol can bring uncomfortable topics to the surface. Clio Wood suggests self-regulation by setting some limits or interlocking the various outings so as to be able to organize yourself as best as possible.
