Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Wed Aug 30, 6:05 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Feeling grumpy? Well, today is the day couples are most likely to have an argument, according to a relationship expert. The theory is that post-holiday blues combined with the end of the summer and no more bank holidays until Christmas conspire together to make August 30 the day tempers will fray. Paula Hall, a sexual and relationship psychotherapist, said the arguments can be explained by a simple equation: Post-Holiday Depression + Financial Strains - Lack of Light/Domestic Chaos = Relationship Stress. " By August 30, tensions have reached an all time high, as couples realise their summer is well and truly over, " Hall said. " This often manifests itself in bickering and needless arguments which is not healthy for the well-being of a relationship. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
