Slightly worrying.
Christmas is a great time for catching up with friends and family, and making more time for your significant other. You don’t have work (well, most people don’t), and there are plenty of things to do over the festive season.
It’s not exactly the right time for breaking up with someone.
It may come as quite a surprise then that there was a spike in Google searches yesterday for a very negative relationship question.
The search, “should I break up with my boyfriend?” surged to the highest point in the last twelve months.
Max Benwell pointed out this worrying trend on Twitter.

Interestingly, another search spiked yesterday with people asking, “does my girlfriend love me?”
