The stress of the pandemic has been blamed by some as a reason for bringing relationships and even marriages to an end. Because people were on lock down, it led to them having to be home with their partners 24/7, and any problems that were usually able to be resolved with space at work, or with travel were in your face with no way to escape.
Honestly this situation may have been for the best for those who were able to finally see that they were incompatible. This also allowed a lot of time for people to sit down and face the reality of the problems they had spent years ignoring. It’s so easy to ignore your partner and rush off to work and even get some overtime in to avoid coming home to drama and arguments. It is also very easy to jump on a plane and go see new faces to pause and focus on yourself.
Being stuck in the house, meant the coming about of conversations you had rather not discuss for fear of losing your partner. Remember today so many are together for all the wrong reasons. Some are together for financial reasons, stability or even for the kids. The love may no longer be there. So that 8 hour break you were use to getting away from home was gone.
This pandemic also allowed some to see the infidelity happening in their marriage that was easily hidden before.
Yet can you really say a pandemic is to blame for your relationship or marriage ending? Probably not, but you can say it allowed you to see more while sitting down than ever before. It allowed you to really gather your thoughts and decide if you wanted to wrap up the year with the person you were with or move on due to unhappiness.
What are your thoughts? Do you feel Covid 19 has been the reason behind marriages & relationships ending?
