Naughty or nice
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Last week Wise Diva mentioned dating during the holiday trifecta — Christmas, New Year’s and Valentine’s Day — and how some people may avoid it completely.
But what if the holidays sneak up on you and you’re already with someone who you might be…well, losing interest in. Where does that put you in the gift-buying realm?
Do you buy a present for the person you’re dating, only to break up with them after the holiday (and don’t lie — you know this happens)? Does it lessen the blow to buy the person something inexpensive and then break the bad news later? Is there a statute of limitations on how close to a holiday you should break up with someone? What if it’s the day before? The day of?
Or do you drop the bomb before the holiday to avoid having to buy a gift? Is it always better to end things as quickly as possible when dating during the holidays? Have you ever had someone give you a Christmas present when you were preparing to break up with them? What did you do?
Do you consider yourself naughty or nice when it comes to handling gifting and holiday breakups? Would your exes agree?
