I feel this is going to break many relationships ,being stuck together , financial pressure , no escape to the pub,bookmaker, hairdresser, beauty salon ,shopping trips,gym, cinema and so on , Some will loose friends and family to add to the stress Some lucky couples may benefit by finding each other again doing the permitted things like cycling ,walking or trying a new interest like painting or a musical instrument as long as the other is not disturbed , harmonica and practice in the car springs to mind Garden sheds will be pressed into service A lot of us singles will not have most of these problems Whatever happens good luck to you all Personally, I have not changed how I live at all except when I go out, I tend to mind my hands and wash them more frequently. But then, I've lived alone for over 10 years and got used to it. I, however, have considered the impact of these restrictions on other's lives. Money is a serious relationship stress. Its not so much the cost of a relationship but the affect a lack of resource has on the stress of those in the relationship. Higher stress causes fuses to shorten. For someone unable or unwilling to manage their stress it can lead to words and actions which can't be undone. This ruins relationships. Under normal conditions these stressful moments can be handled thru isolation. You get time to think, consider options. Time apart allows you to recover composure. At normal times in life those of us who have or had families may realize we all have a place to go to recover, get away. Bedroom. kitchen, garage, basement, mancave, den, sewing room, whatever. Those places are still there. You can still use them. If you have the capacity to learn you can learn how to deal with stress. If you're stuck with others you can learn to read when you are getting edgy and just move to a different part of the house. You can read when someone is getting ready to freak out on you and stop what you are doing instead of trying to get a reaction. You can realize you are in this situation which is not of your own making and deal with it like an adult. Or you can ignore the signs and create a situation which IS of your own making and suffer the inevitable consequences. Choose Wisely. Oh, and duct tape can fix anything. Just ask Red Green. |
