Can You Break Up with Someone Now, Or Do You Have to Wait Until This Is All Over?

By bondsy Apr 16, 2020 | 6:14 AM

The ethical question “Can you break up with someone right before Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or their birthday?” is SO 2019.  This year, we have a whole NEW dilemma.

A new survey asked people if it’s okay to break up with someone NOW . . . or if they have to wait until the social distancing and stay-at-home guidelines are over.

And the results are . . . perfectly split.  30% say it’s okay to dump someone now, 30% say you should wait, and 40% say they don’t know.

There’s a big different by age though.  People in their 20s and 30s are way more likely to say it’s okay to dump someone now . . . people 45 and up are much more likely to say you should wait.

Also, men slightly lean toward breaking up now . . . women slightly lean toward waiting.
