Looking at Covid , the thing with Covid is like a covert operation. It hasn’t increased problems within relationships. Covid has highlighted problems that already existed within relationships. There are very few relationships that Covid has damaged where there was none. It simply highlighted the damage that was already there. It has exacerbated and sped up the issues because, again, it’s what it’s done. It’s brought people face to face with the cracks in their relationships.
Many times, we distract ourselves with other aspects of our lives. For instance, we go to work, and the way we stay married is we go to work because we can’t be in the presence of that person 24 hours a day. We also go to the bar at the end of the day or attend sporting events with our friends. We distract ourselves from our problems. The reality is we’re only spending 10 to 12 hours a day with our partner, and eight of those hours are asleep.
Now, we’re brought face to face with our problems, and it’s like we have to talk to each other, communicate, and co-exist. We can’t distract ourselves from our problems anymore; we now come face to face with them. Personally, I don’t believe Covid has created those problems. It’s just simply brought us face to face with them. The question now is, what are you going to do about it?
