The latest study by sunshine.co.uk found that some Britons put off breakups with their partners in order to go on a planned vacation.
The research was part of an ongoing study into the holiday habits and preferences of people around the UK, with a particular focus on how important holidays were to them.
Around 1,839 adults took part in the study and answered questions surrounding vacations they'd been on in the past. As per the survey, 9 percent of the respondents admitted they'd held off breaking up with a partner so they could still go on holiday.
Some were asked, "In the past, have you ever held off breaking up with a partner so that you could still go on a holiday you had booked or planned with them?" Nine percent of those taking part said "yes."
These respondents were asked if they broken up with their partner, as they had planned, after the vacation. Eighty-two percent said they did.
These respondents were also asked how long it took them to break up with their partner after their vacation. The common answer was "2 weeks," which was supported by 47 percent respondents. Almost a fifth of those said they were still with the partner in question.
However, 18 percent of those taking part who had put off a breakup to still go on a holiday said that they were still with the partner in question.
When asked why they hadn't ended up breaking up as they initially planned, the majority felt the vacation "helped their relationship." Twenty-eight percent admitted to have a "change of heart," while 21 percent said they stayed together due to "habit."
