Carnations? Again? Why Post-Valentine’s Day is a Popular Time for Divorce
V-Day can lead to D-DayFlowers, chocolate—and divorce papers? Turns out that the period immediately following Valentine’s Day is a popular time for married couples to call it quits.One recent study suggested divorce filings rose by as much as 40 percent right after the holiday, while anecdotal evidence collected by Yahoo! Shine from divorce lawyers painted Valentine’s Day as time of reckoning more than romance.“People think Valentine’s Day is the day they’re going to fix it all, that they’re going to make everything okay in their marriage. Then, when they can’t? It’s time to file,” Chicago divorce attorney Marie Fahnert told Yahoo! Shine.“They start consulting in January. Then they say, ‘Let’s see how Valentine’s Day goes,’” “If their spouse comes through okay, fine. If they get, like, a two-dollar box of chocolate? Check, please!”
Couples, in other words, want to give it one last shot by seeing if their marriage can be rekindled by the most romantic day of the year.
