Finding love in a pandemic..

I want to know if people have found love in the pandemic and how it’s going for them. Also want to hear from people who met in the pandemic and have broken up and why this happened.
I’m going through something at the moment with my partner..
Met in the pandemic last March and after living together for 8 months have now decided it’s time to move out. We are going to try and make it work. The reason we’re moving out is because we both want to have that normality.. in the real world we would never have moved in together so quickly and we’d have gotten to know eachother slowly and comfortably (if that makes sense). I so wish we had had that normality to go on dates and also build our own lives separately, to then come together and have our relationship as well. I had come out of a relationship as had they JUST before the first lockdown last year. Unfortunately, my partner was cheated on.. which has left her worrying that I don’t want her.
I feel my partner is totally relying on me without making their own lives in this new city that we are both living in.. again, something that wouldn’t have happened in normal times. We both work in the same one bed flat so we are around eachother 24/7 and have been for the last 8 months.
A few months ago we started resenting eachother and arguing a lot. My partner felt that I was just off doing my own thing (I have been trying to build a life for myself after what’s happened and the city is new to me also). I encouraged them to do their own thing but they were more set on being with me.
Anyway, our decision is to move out but not break up and see what happens as we BOTH have lives to build and things to work on.
I’d like to know what others think, cheers guys.
