A Guide To Being In Quarantine With Your Significant Other

We can all agree that tensions are high right now.

This is dedicated to everyone who has been in quarantine with a spouse or significant other due to the pandemic.

Sure, you love each other because things weren’t so bad before this. You might have argued here and there, but it was nothing like this.

With the world in a pandemic anxiety levels are at an all time high. Not only are we trying to avoid the virus, our freedoms and rights have been infringed upon to the point where most of us have been confined to our homes…with our significant others.

While we do love our spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend, etc., it’s okay to admit that spending 24 hours 7 days a week with them in the house is a bit much for us all. Throw some kids in the mix and things are suddenly overwhelming.

With domestic violence calls spiking since the beginning of this coronavirus business, it’s more important than ever to manage our situations at home. Your typical running away from problems won’t work this time because there’s nowhere to go, but hopefully together we can get through this without tearing each other’s heads off.
