Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a sad day.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Yeah, it is a really sad day December eleven, and
you might be going wine. It's just a day of
the year.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
That's a very important day for people who have planned
to do this.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Maybe. Yeah, it's apparently the most common day of the
year to break up. I don't understand. Apparently it has
a lot to do with the facility season. Data and
analysts notice a spike in breakup posts on Facebook occurring
on the day two weeks before Christmas, and despite Facebook's

(00:40):
relationship status functioning becoming vastly outdated, the title of breakup
day has stuck. Apparently it's got to do with the
anxiety that's induced by the Christmas period.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's because people put too much pressure on Christmas and
the New Year that everyone just needs to chill. Like,
shouldn't you break up with someone you just don't want
to be with him anymore, not because you're stressed because
of Chrissy.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah. I guess if you find that the partner you're
with is making more stressed at this time year, you
might correlate that to them not being the right partner
for you.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, I feel like if your partner is making you stressed,
at all, you know what I mean, Like they meant
to do the opposite.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I mean, you know, but like our partners make us
stress sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
But not consistently.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Not.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
I don't want to talk about your relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Like why why have the nose plugging thing? If you're
gonna stop snoring? That stresses me out.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Okay, you're mostly you're mad about that because he goes
to sleep so quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Well, why can't they just put their head on the
pillow and go to sleep.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Because he's not stressed about anything.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I'm not stressing about enough. Then I've got to get
I gotta get better at that.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
He's dead inside because of all the dressing that you
have given him. Okay, so you and Bobby are on
the rocks clearly, so people will be breaking up today.
That's so weird. Oh my god, if you're listening right.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Okay, Well, I've got the tips.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
I've got the hot tips on how to do it. Yes, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Number one, be honest and don't blame well if they're snoring.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
You can't break up with someone just because they're snoring.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Number two, break up in person. Yes, don't, don't break
up with someone in a text message, like I did
when I was fourteen. Don't be like I don't with
your girlfriend anyone.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, you're dumped, you're dump spell you're wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Number three, write a letter. I guess that sound like
a text.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
That's an old time Yeah, it's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
But you know, some people are really uncomfortable with confrontational
talks like giving them a letter and being there for
them to respond to it.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Okay, that's fine, as long as if they have.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Follow up, they put it in the letter box and
be like, hopefully they take the mail.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
They think that we're still in this.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Because not everyone checks the mail every day. Don't give
them space to react. Space them boundaries. So if you
are serious about breaking up, hold that boundary. Oh no, Sirian,
I'm not trying to talk to you. I just said serious.

(03:23):
And Number six self care and look after yourself. Prioritize
self care after the breakup. Make sure you've got people
around you to support you, not your X though they're done.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
What if you're not in a relationship but you're in
a situationship? Is this also an auspicious day for getting?
Because I can't really get dumped?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Can I are you worried about getting dumped? Today.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Well, I don't know. It feels like the days that you.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Think Fabiano is going to turn around, well, he shouldn't
have screenshoted that incorrect spelling of his name Fabiaiano to.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
You, Well, now that's it, it's done, it's done, and
you did it. Well, I broke you guys up because
you said far Biano.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's a situation ship.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I don't think you can't really break up. Yeah, exactly.
It's like if you're a casual at a workplace, you're
not under contract, you can.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Just leave it. Every
