Signs of a break-up
According to www.cosmopolitan.com, ‘tis the season to lose it with your loved one. The winter is hard on everyone, resulting in a lot of blow-ups and break-ups.
According to a recent survey, couples are more than twice as likely to think about splitting between the holidays and Valentine’s Day, due in part to the pressure of the holiday season. But also because scientific reasons compound that stress:
“Our energy levels are lower during the cold weather, and we tend to be moodier,” explains clinical psychologist Seth Meyers, PhD. “Both factors make maintaining a relationship difficult.”
You can’t beat Mother Nature, but you can learn to spot these pesky relationship-killing winter symptoms and take the necessary steps to keep your bond going strong.
Here are some signs:
w You haven’t had sex in two weeks.
w The last time you went out together on a Saturday night was...uh...
w Every morning, you hit the snooze button four times — after he’s already hit it eight times.
w You approach dinner as though you’re both eating for two.
w You have a hard time thinking of a day recently in which you haven’t criticised him.
w Your workout sneakers haven’t left the closet since October, and his biceps have started feeling like mashed potatoes.
w You don’t share your feelings nearly as often as you share bottles of wine.
w You doze off in front of the TV together at least twice a week.
w Sweatpants are your new skinny jeans.
To break the cycle, make it a point for you and your guy to eat high-protein foods that have serotonin-boosting nutrients — like fish fillets, cottage cheese and eggs.
When you notice a seasonal sex nosedive, grab your guy and hit the gym together.
