I stayed 3 months over my period in schengen. Can I go back within a month with a new passport?
I was in Europe (Schengen) between November 2017 - December 2018. I extended my stay there and had to leave on august 20 however I fell in love and stayed with a woman three months and 2 weeks and left on December fifth.
Right now I have a new passport that does not have the stamp from where I came in and left the Schengen area.
Will I be able to come back in January?

The Schengen 90/180 day rule applies to you as an individual human being, not to your passport. You are not allowed to stay longer just because you get a new passport. It is possible that you won't be caught, but it is very much not allowed.
If you already overstayed (three months and 2 weeks sounds longer than 90 days), that may make it difficult for you to return to the Schengen area anytime soon, as you'd already have a documented history of not complying with immigration rules.
I'd add that the 90/180 rule is a maximum, not an invitation to use every possible minute you have in the Schengen area. You can still be denied entry even if you comply with the rule if they believe your behavior is inconsistent with that of a visitor. Perhaps your girlfriend could visit you in your country?

Can you stay in Europe for more than 3 months after Brexit?
Now that the UK is outside the EU, British passport holders can stay for a maximum of 90 days per 180-day period. UK passport holders can cross an external EU border using just a valid passport and stay anywhere in the Schengen Area for up to 3 months.How long do you have to leave the Schengen Zone before returning?
Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.Can I leave the Schengen Zone and come back?
If you leave the Schengen Zone, your time doesn't reset so it is really important that you keep track of how long you're in the Schengen Zone. If you're in the Schengen Zone for 90 days consecutively, you must leave after 90 days and can't return for another 90 days!What happens if you exceed 90 days in Schengen?
The Schengen law states that you can't stay in the Area for more than 90 days. If you do, you're subject to a fine and possibly deportation and being banned from re-entering the Schengen Area. How that rule is enforced, though, varies greatly from one country to another.THE SCHENGEN ZONE TRAVEL EXPLAINED - DIGITAL NOMAD TV
