You can apply in December if you meet rest of the requirements.

Masalli,

The breakup of the relationship will not affect your British Naturalisation. You can apply 1 year after getting your ILR(i.e being free from Immigration Restrictions).
cheers

You can apply to naturalise after being settled for 12 months, the easiest way to show this is 12 months after being granted your PR card. However, if you can show evidence (perhaps the same you used to get the PR card) that you attained PR before this point, you can apply earlier.

I think I've explained it to you. There is an additional English language requirement coming into affect from 28 Oct 2013.
