It is very common for break ups to occur around the holidays. 😳 People put off break ups until the end of the year because they don’t want to “ruin” the holidays. Or sometimes they are just lazy about it and finally the new year comes and they realize that they want a fresh start, so they ring in the new year with a break up. Sometimes pressures from family or the holiday stress on a couple creates the straw that broke the camel’s back during the holidays. So, yes, this is common.
And as you know (or else you wouldn’t be asking) sometimes people do mistakes and ask for forgiveness and another chance. Whether or not he will come back to you has a lot to do with why the two of you broke up. I don’t know how old he is, but he may feel that he’s not ready for a commitment with anyone and just wants to feel free and play the field. Or there may be someone else he’s interested in. So it really depends on what’s going on with him, and the two of you.
I hope that helps. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
