Dealing With Separation During Covid-19

42

For many couples Covid-19 has proved to be particularly difficult. Especially for those couples who are stranded away from their partners. Dealing with so much stress and anxiety while your partner is far away from you is downright agonising. Don’t get too worked up about the situation. If you are able to manage the situation tactfully, this interim separation with your partner can actually strengthen your relationship. Don’t let stress run your relationship. Be level headed and deal with the situation calmly or else it can cause a great deal of damage to your relationship.

If dealt well, temporary separation is a good way to appreciate the value of any relationship. It is rightly said that distance makes the heart grow fonder. Separation gives couples a sense of fear of losing their partner. The fear can actually make one turn towards their partner during the time of separation. This fear can also make partners behave kindly towards their better half. You can use this opportunity to stay connected to your partner in more meaningful ways.

Relationships are fragile. One rude statement or a little neglect can cause immense damage. Living apart from your partner can take a mental toll especially during times like these. Don’t let this time affect your relationship rather build up your relationship by keeping meaningfully connected to your partner. Your partner is obviously going to miss the emotional support that you offer. They are going to miss your kind presence and this time of separation shall remind them of the various ways by which you add meaning to their life.
