Christmas is the season for magic – and proposals! Is your partner acting strange? A recent survey found that Men’s odd behaviour before proposing actually led 66% of women to suspect an imminent break up and only 12% to suspect a proposal! So, if your man is acting strange this season, he might be preparing to make your Christmas extra special.

75% of women in the survey noticed that their partner was acting strangely in the lead up to the proposal – “being secretive” and “seeming stressed or distant” were common behaviours that can be signs that he will propose.

66% of women mistook their now-fiancé’s odd behaviour as heading for a break-up, and 8% even thought that their partner was having an affair. So ladies – if he’s acting strange, don’t assume the worst.
