Anyone’s relationship fallen apart in lockdown?

I think we have come to the end of the line after months of arguing, I can’t take anymore.
I am so scared to go alone but I am so tired of being unhappy. I have nothing left. We have a dd(3).

It's been so tough for everyone. I've found that everything and everyone irritates me at some point. Boredom, loneliness, nothing to look forward to ... it's so depressing. I've found my partner irritating with such minor things, and can't see the good things he does. Currently I'm finding that exercise is really helping but am concerned about when the gyms shut again what I'll be feeling then.
If you've truly decided that this is it, take good advice and look after yourself financially. Can you look after your child alone?

Yes it's over. I stopped drinking in January became ultimately boring. Found out about three Saturdays he'd picked up coke again. Hard as he was in my bubble. Isolation is hard enough as it is. Isolation and mourning not a great combination!
Thanks

Yes me too. I’ve just filed for divorce after 18 years and two DC. He spent the entire lockdown telling me how terrible things were for HIM and how it’s ok for me because of XYZ. He had not a single shred of empathy for anyone else! Despite us both working full time from home he took none of the load, I still did all of the childcare, cooking, cleaning etc etc etc.

I also realised just how unhappy our life was and it was only stuff outside of our marriage I looked forward to. And walking on eggshells all your life is hard when there is no escape from it. Sitting night after night while he huffed, puffed and tutted because our teenager had made a noise killed my feelings off in the end.
