Feeling grumpy? Well, today is the day British couple 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."
