New Year's...out with the old boyfriend, in with the New Year, same old Crazy.

With 2011 freshly upon us, chances are that we start to evaluate our decisions from the past year, particularly with one's partner. With that being said, we know of many couples in short and long term relationships that had a break up within the evening of New Year's Eve. Not because these couples suddenly realized that they had no future on the eve of New Year's but rather because a whole bunch of crazy popped up that night. Were these break-ups a result of multiple cracks in the relationship that finally broke up the coupling or were the break-ups well thought of and introspective?

Maybe many couples breeze through the year with their partner, secretly knowing that they are not meant to be together and all of the problems just seem to culminate at the year's end. We don't want to go through the holidays alone; not exchanging gifts, going dateless to our Christmas office parties, or having no one to kiss at the stroke of midnight. Maybe couples latch on to each other despite feeling like they are destined for splitsville simply because they are afraid to be alone. With all of the talk of resolutions and goals for the new year, maybe people start to finally accept what they have been avoiding for so long...or maybe they are so entrenched in the craziness of their relationship that New Years is just an extravagant night for all the drama they create to unfold in a big blowout. When a couple's whole relationship has been played out like a dramatic soap opera why wouldn't one of the biggest nights of the year be the perfect setting for the end of this twisted love story? Perhaps the introspectivity of the relationship results from the multiple cracks that erupts on New Year's Eve. A hand-in-hand correlation?

In the end, however, a New Year and beginning results with hopes of a new partner...but is it the end of crazy? We'll see in 2012.
