There's never a good time for a breakup. Though realistically, the first week of January is the time of year when couples start taking stock of their relationship . Of course, it makes sense that how you feel going into the new year is very telling.

Or, on the flip side, you decide it's best to pump the breaks or make a clean split before it's all heart-shaped chocolate in February.
