The breakup month, also known as "National Breakup Month", is January.
According to an analysis of relationship status changes on Facebook, while December 11th is the biggest day for breakups, January is the month that sees the most relationship endings. The reasons behind this increase are not fully understood.
- December 11th: The single most common day for breakups.
- January: Unofficially recognized as "National Breakup Month" due to the increased number of relationship endings.
Therefore, while there is a peak day for breakups, the entire month of January experiences a higher than usual number of breakups, earning it the title "National Breakup Month."
