On Anabel Magazine on Facebook, after a question about the concerns created by the pandemic situation, someone pointed out the problem with couples who have been quarantined in different homes.
"My partner and I are quarantined in different houses. We have been living together for some time, but after the pandemic we had to move to each other's parents, because they are elderly and did not start to care differently. At first the situation was ok, but the more weeks go by the harder it gets. We fight and get angry every day. I understand that stress and insecurity affect [...] ?
The same problem was discussed by some followers on abanabel_media on Instagram, who stressed that "the situation is the same with a long distance relationship" and since they have not experienced such a relationship before, they find it difficult to adapt.
For many couples, isolation in a home is impossible, so how to deal with it?
The best thing you can do is to treat the situation as a long-distance relationship. If you have had such a relationship before, it will be easier for you, otherwise you will have to adjust.
"We have no other choice," someone wrote on .anabel_media. In fact, it is worth it to ease the distance. The moment couples accept the circumstances and are convinced that they have no other choice, they start and adapt to the context. It is very easy to complain, but you need to test the patience and strength of your relationship.
"Communication is the key, and in these times you have to act 'pull it off, don't break it,'" said another follower. In fact it stands as an argument. On ordinary days, things would be more normal - you would meet, discuss, agree on what went wrong, and be the same again. Virtual debates are not very simple. On the contrary, they can make matters worse. Therefore, in simple words, do not notice everything.
In the end, meetings are important. Virtual. Distance dinner or Netflix Party are some nice ideas.
