To think there will an increase in divorce rates if we have to lock down (lighthearted)

[toothfairy73]

My DH and I always bicker if we spend too long together. I can't say/do the right thing. I swear sometimes I even breathe wrong. Heaven help us if we have to lockdown. There are 4 of us in a tiny 2 bed rented ground floor flat and my DH is self employed and we are only just managing. AIBU to think that we might not get through a 2 week lockdown without me wanting to LTB. My DD's always argue if they spend too much time together. I can't be alone in this. AIBU considering sleeping in the tent in the garden.

i think the murder rate might go up in some cases.

Yeah fuck that, we would divorce on day 2

I was just saying the same thing to my DH yesterday. Especially when you add bored kids into the mix

I fear for people in violent relationships

Put a tent up in the garden, decorate it with fairy lights and make it cosy. Tell everyone to get comfy in the tent as you are all having a family camp out then go back in the house and lock the door for a fortnight.

I also predict that there will be rise in birth rates in December 😏🤣

I’ve already told work that if we all need to work/study at home there will be death at Casa FrontPaw (not caused by the virus).

As it is I'm dreading having to be trapped at home with my DH. I'm very worried for people in abusive relationships and children suffering domestic abuse of all kinds.

True - that’s a very sobering thought.

We've agreed rules which include not speaking to each other between 9 and 5. It's the only way.

There'll be a baby boom in 9 months.

@PenguindreamsofDraco hilarious but the only way forward

I also predict a baby boom

I'm also worried about those on violent relationships

Yes! Was thinking the same thing earlier today. And kids being at home won’t help.

My husband is happy to self isolate. I’m planning on locking him in the garage.

@triptrapdollydumpling hilarious. If only we had a garage....

I love the football season, husband is out most of the day watching his Premiership team and I have freedom. What the hell am I going to do now? 😈😈🤬

Dh has been in annual leave this week and even with me going out it drives me mad. I'm so out of routine.
We are currently renovating the garden so I guess there is space for him under the patio. Altho that would mean me finishing the patio alone.

Domestic violence will undoubtedly go up. Sorry that’s not very lighthearted but it’s true.

@AccountAntsy I know. I heard that 2 women a week are killed by their partner or ex partner, and I know this will increase with is horrific

There are already reports that China have seen a surge in domestic violence incidents along with increase in divorce. It's sad it's not being discussed more openly as a consequence of lockdown. I can certainly see why it's more likely to happen. It's very sad. I don't know what the answer is.

I’m going with more babies..

Sorry my answer was lighthearted

Is it not worrying to some of you that you cant stand the thought of being with your spouses for a few days ?? .

I cant get enough of my long term partner !! Bring on the isolation

I fear a double murder in my parent’s home. Lighthearted (as they love each other dearly) but semi-serious (I don’t know who would kill who first).

I'm more concerned for all the children that get free school meals. Often from difficult homes , what will happen to them?
