LONDON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- British relationship specialists have dubbed Aug. 30 "Black Wednesday" in anticipation of soaring arguments between couples at summer's end.

"By August 30, tensions have reached an all-time high, as couples realize their summer is well and truly over," sexual and relationship psychotherapist Paula Hall told The Telegraph. "This often manifests itself in bickering and needless arguments which is not healthy for the well-being of a relationship."

"There is an upsurge in requests," she said. "There is another peak after Christmas."
