RELATIONSHIPS

Time in quarantine may mean spending more time with others for some and less for others. Having to share your living space while stuck at home all day can be challenging, even if it’s a loved one. While for some, lockdown has resulted in spending quality time with family and partners, for some it has been hindering or worsened already strained relationships. Factors such as distribution of household chores, varying work hours and routines can cause disagreements. Especially those quarantined with abusive family members or partners are in an extremely vulnerable position. On the other hand, those who are away from their loved ones may struggle to feel and remain connected, distance being another cause for strain. This may especially cause challenges in romantic relationships, worsening already strained relationships such as those on the verge of separation. Hence, we have compiled tips on how to make the most of the lockdown with loved ones whilst respecting each other’s routine and doing your bit. In addition, we offer useful tips on how to stay digitally connected with those dear to us while minimising the effect on your mental health.
