Lockdown relationship breakups ..

Wondering how many people have actually broken up or considered breaking up since lockdown. I think this time either always together or being separated has thrown a new light on many of us.

My relationship has broken up. I'm okay with that. Pick myself up and move on :-)

I think lockdown will either make or break relationships for many.

Definitely considered.

I was making plans to leave just before lockdown and now I’m stuck here with no end in sight. He doesn’t know because I didn’t want to deal with the atmosphere whilst still having to live together so I’m playing happy families. It’s very weird. I should have been moving out today but as it stands, it could be months before anything happens. I suppose I’m lucky because I’m safe here unlike many women but it’s still tricky mentally living in limbo.

Not quite the same but my 'relationship' with my FWB broke up, mainly due to me realising there was nothing else to us rather than the physical side! I think the lock down just highlights issues that were hidden before.

This has been the worst for me. Broke up in February after a 4 year relationship, and just at the time you need to get out, see friends, distract yourself, get away and keep busy, we hit lockdown. its allowed me much more time to think about things and dwell on things than is healthy. Ive tried to keep myself busy by re-reading classical literature we did at school, decorating my living room, taken up a 3 month uni course on-line on social psychology, on top of working, going out for walks but it doesnt stop this person pervading my thoughts constantly. Living on my own has had me litterally climbing the walls and pulling out my hair as it seems to magnify the situation a si have no one to talk to or distract me. If she wanted to make this a sdifficult as possible for me, my ex's timing was impecible.

hope youre all fairing better.

Separated by lockdown and not sure it can last. Which makes me very sad as it was great after years of misery. Well, so I thought.
