Facebook Sheds Light on When People Get Dumped
The premise is simple: David McCandless and his team searched 10,000 Facebook status updates for the phrases “break up” and “broken up" and used that information to create the graph you see above.
The idea: To try and paint a general picture of when Facebook users choose to end relationships.
The results are telling: Your significant other wants to bang other people during Spring Break. Additionally, he/she doesn't want to go visit your family for the holidays. Or maybe he/she wants to be single so he/she can bang your family members over the holidays. I'm not here to judge; I'm looking at the same graph you are.
Regardless, if you're trying to end your streak of being "forever alone," right before Christmas seems to be the time to make your move. A lot of people just got the ax.
On the flipside, if you want to avoid getting dumped, try only talking to your significant other once a year on Christmas Day. It's the lowest break up day of the year!
