Is the Turkey Dump real?

[exitseven]

Supposedly a lot of people get dumped near Thanksgiving so the dumper gets out of buying a gift and will be able to find somebody new for the new year. It happened to me once and I never thought too much about it. Maybe I was the first one to get Turkey Dumped.

This question was inspired by @purplepoppy

We don't have Thanksgiving over here but I see the logic. If a relationship isn't going anywhere its kinder to end it before Christmas rather than during the holidays or after he's bought you an expensive gift.

It also means there's a fresh supply of nearly new meat on the market.

Don't you mean getting dumped before Christmas? Who buys gifts at Thanksgiving?

What? No gift?

[exitseven]

Yes, you dumped him before Thanksgiving so you don't have to buy him a Christmas gift.

[Daniela1982]

Oh, it sounded like a Thanksgiving gift.

[NathanDavis]

lmfao... not dumped BUT

we actually untied the knot, my ex and I... on November and right before Thanksgivings, lol, we had talked about it for a couple of months, and November sounded like a good timing, lol

I hasn't heard anyone being broken up before Thanksgiving Day!

I got dumped the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

[FinalFantasyBro]

I am sorry for that man

[exitseven]

yes, it was harsh.

[TrueConfection]

If getting out of buying a gift is the reason, the person dumped is way better off.

[exitseven]

That is one way to look at it

[Bratsondanielle]

I’d call it a bullet dodged. Those are saving graces of bad times avoided.

[evilboredom]
