January is considered "breakup month:" The best ways for you to go your separate ways

MILWAUKEE -- Did you know people are twice as likely to break up between now and Valentine's Day than any other time of the year? Professional matchmaker, Julie Amann with It's Just Lunch, joins Real Milwaukee with the best ways to split.

• January is typically the time of year when most of us are thinking about making a fresh start.
• Unfortunately, the holidays can bring out the best -- and worst -- in people, and they can often make issues within a relationship worse.
• The stress of the season and getting together with family may cause more fights than festive feelings.
• Meantime, other couples who may have wanted to break up before the holidays decide to put a 'freeze' on their relationship -- because they simply don`t want to face the holidays alone. But now that the holidays are over, they feel like it`s time to make a change and move on.

Be Sure

Be Honest

Be Kind

Be wary of the break up, then make up cycle!

Lastly, don't break up by text or 'ghost' the other person and fall off the face of the planet. That's not a good or mature way to break up!
Have the nerve to say it to the other person by phone or face-to-face. It`s just classier.
