Lockdown has finally pushed us apart and it's like living with a stranger

Does anyone feel that your marriage/relationship has been slowly drifting apart for a few years and you realise now that the lockdown has pushed you further apart instead of revitalising it??

I think there are very many marriages which survive only through a combination of financial necessity and spending little time together.

It's why so many end when children grow up (or lottery is won/inheritance is received).

Lockdown had wrought bare the prospect of being forced to spend all time together and being unable to get away (even for a coffee) and this has caused people to decide they can't take any more and call it a day.

Much sympathy 💐
