It's the day for rows - no argument

Maybe the flashpoint in that row with your partner over breakfast was about who could do the Guardian crossword. Or perhaps it all kicked off after you suddenly felt an irrational annoyance over the shape of their ears and decided to torch their crumpets.

But relax - you are probably not alone. One expert on relationships believes today is the day when couples are most likely to row, the Telegraph reports.

Paula Hall, a relationship psychotherapist, thinks there is likely to be a distressing alignment of circumstances making rows more likely to happen today. These include the rainy weather waking everyone up to the fact that summer is over.

Couples who have been cooped up on holiday together could start regarding each other as though they were cellmates and feel the need for a bit of space.
