I know this has been mentioned before, but all I keep hearing about is couples breaking up amid this pandemic. Most of the couples I've heard about were together under a year (myself included) and living together and not quarantining together. I know this pandemic is bringing to light cracks in relationships, but I also think no relationship is perfect. To me it sounds more like due to this pandemic and the economic fall out people just don't want to put the effort into a relationship right now because there are other, more pressing things on their mind.
My theory is couples who are together under a year probably don't have as strong a relationship as a couple that's been together 2-3 years (or more obviously).
So was just wondering how many of you out there broke up amidst this pandemic, what was the reasoning and how long were you together?

My sister just split up with the father of her children, who she has been with about 10 or 11 years.
I havent spoken to her, got the news from our mom, so I am not sure if the pandemic played a part. They have been through a lot of difficult stuff recently. They live in Hawaii and very nearly lost everything during the volcano eruptions last year.
I think stressful situations can bring a couple closer, or the stress can drive a wedge between them.
Depends a lot on how compatible they truly are as a couple I think. Its easy to get along when things are good in life and your surroundings. But not always so easy when everything seems to be going wrong.

With maintaining an healthy relationship with the most important person's in your life means distancing yourself from distractions regarding business and all in today's world. My priority is for my loved ones and others are kept on hold/distance for the near future. My advice is for all to work on their positive mental attitude with all available peer/religion/professional persons available. Complaining regarding your situation is a self inflected wound moving forward.

I don't mean to derail the thread but I've been thinking about you and your situation. Did he ever communicate with you? Or just leave you hanging? |

As an old guy, I would think it would bring you closer. However, I guess if you are one of those couples who has a rocky relationship where you cant stand each other, it could cause a split.

Couples probably spend way more time together and realize their differences.

Funny, my best friend who been married for almost 16 years and has ups and downs with her husband, seems to be getting along really well with him. However he’s still working, and has been actually working late hours...but I think it’s making her appreciate him more. |
