For some time now, people have been under mental strain due to a situation beyond our control. Unfortunately, couples are not immune to this. Some couples are strong, while others are less so.
For some of them, the lockdown will be the point of no return. The strain that has been weighing on their shoulders for months, or even years, will no longer be bearable. Some decisions will be made on a whim; others won’t. However, the result will be the same: families will be torn apart at a time when they should be most united.
Some people will decide to walk away from what they have in the midst of a health crisis, unable to bear the situation before them any longer. In doing so, they’ll shatter everything they’ve built over all these years. But what will be left behind?
Breakups are already difficult under normal circumstances, but they seem even more trying right now. The current restrictions are already very hard on the mind. Add to that the weight of a breakup, and it can create an explosive mix. Be there for others. Human beings are capable of both the worst and the best. Choose which path you want to take.
Please, unless your life or that of your children is in danger, give the storm time to pass. Things always look clearer under a blue sky.
To everyone going through a difficult time right now, my thoughts are with you. Stay strong and true—this ordeal will soon be over.
