Sounds like Britney Spears was on the naughty list -- or else Jason Trawick is about to be put on it. The pair are reportedly on the rocks, and they may split for good if Christmas doesn't go over well.

Radar Online reports that Spears and Trawick have been spending a lot of time apart -- and that when they are together, they're just fighting constantly.

"Britney and Jason have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for a very long time,” a source said. “She has been staying in a hotel during the week because of the live 'X Factor' shows, and although Jason stays at the same hotel, he is in a room adjacent to hers."

Apparently Trawick does love BritBrit, but in more of a nanny-charge way than a husband-wife way.

"Jason feels like he is Britney's babysitter and it's pretty much just a business arrangement at this point," the source added. "Jason does love Britney and the boys, but he just can't see himself spending the rest of his life with her."

Yikes.

The stress of the holidays isn't helping much, and it seems like it's going to take more than milk and cookies to fix it. “It’s a make or break holiday for Britney and Jason,” the source continued. “Things have been getting worse and worse with their relationship for several months now, and they know they have to figure things out once and for all because they can’t keep going on like this.”

If the pair were to break up, it wouldn't just be a bad time for the relationship, but also for their careers.

Trawick is contractually obligated to pretty much babysit Spears on the 'X Factor' set at all times (can't afford her being alone with that bad influence Demi Lovato!), and he's listed as a co-conservator for the once-troubled starlet.

Let this be a lesson to the couple: Don't s--- where you eat, and don't mess up the sheets when paper's involved. And there's a lot of paper involved here, because Spears was listed as the highest paid female musician on the planet for 2012. In a choice between coin and a lump of coal, we're thinking Trawick may choose to stick this one out.
