Breakup day isn’t officially part of traditional Valentine Week, but in Anti-Valentine Week (celebrated by singles and those nursing heartbreak), it typically falls on February 21. Some variations place it earlier, right after Valentine’s Day ends.
Anti-Valentine Week runs from February 15-21 and includes days like:
- Slap Day
- Kick Day
- Perfume Day
- Flirting Day
- Confession Day
- Missing Day
- and Breakup Day.
It’s basically a tongue-in-cheek response to all the romance overload, giving people a chance to acknowledge endings, heal from splits, or just have a laugh about being single. Not everyone marks it, but it’s gained traction online as a way to balance out the loved-up atmosphere.
For the proper romance angle, stick with Valentine Week or read Valentine’s Day, February 14.
