My husband and I have been fighting DAILY for the last two months. We usually each travel a lot for business so being homebound has been very bad for our relationship. We are heading for divorce Any suggestions?
Many couples are finding the extra demands and adjustments of being in quarantine a significant strain on their relationship. It is easy to fall into a habit of focusing on annoyances, unmet needs and unfulfilled expectation fueling anger and resentment.
Traveling by contrast allows some time to reconnect with yourself and your individual needs and view your relationship from a wider more caring and flexible perspective.
Give yourselves as much space as possible to recall the qualities that drew you to each other in the first place.
Focus Daily on 5 things your partner did or said that you appreciated and express that. That would mark the beginning of a turnaround for each of you.
