How to Keep Love Alive During a Pandemic, According to a Divorce Lawyer
It’s been roughly three months (or 47 years … who’s counting?) Since we started social distancing. Despite the “distance”, many of us are physically closer to our partners and other significant people.
If you find that your inner circle is taking its toll on your relationship, divorce attorney James J. Sexton has some advice. “You might want to play golf,” he says, “but if you had to play golf 16 hours a day, you might end up saying, ‘You know, I would like to do something else.’
So how can we continue to tolerate (and love) the person we have been imprisoned with for months?
Sexton notes that this quarantined new world is actually a blank canvas, and you and your partner can create new rules for it together. Since you have no one to digest your frustration or talk out, remember to keep in touch with your partner and be sure to apologize if one day you become sarcastic.
He also adds that it is better (as in all relationships) to carve out certain points so as not to be together. If you take the time to miss each other, you look forward to the present time you are together.
