Did the Lock down improve your love life?

[akanetuk]

During the lock down, people stayed at home and most especially couples. This time gave them the opportunity to interact more, express themselves, and show more love. Although there were reports of increase in domestic violence during the lock down, this probably came from couples that were not originally in love. It was a good time according to the confession of so many couples. Work stress usually prevented a lot of couples from having time for themselves. This was also a good time to settle differences that existed prior before now. Overall from my experience this was a good time for couples to improve their love life. For couples who were far apart, it was a good time to call and stay on the phone for long hours. Nothing exposes weakness and strength than staying together. A lot of these were brought to lime light, so the virus had a down side, it had a positive side also because it united families more. For the singles it was boring as they missed work and colleagues who kept them connected.

Yes but we are in a distance relationship so it was extremely tough to be taken but yet feel single.. we almost didn't make it but im extremely happy we did! I can create problems in my mind that won't even happen like I was with my dog and cats.. what if I am a different person and he doesn't love me? We started dating in January covid was here mid February.. so its like how do I know this is real.. but we made it through and absence does make the heart fonder! He was right if we can make it through this we can make it through anything.. I hope his way of thinking rubs off on me cause we are completely different but we appreciate the other ones opinions

Yes! I moved in with the person I had been dating exclusivity for 5 weeks. Our relationship has really grown and so has our friendship - although honestly finding things in common involved lots of conversations. There's something about that attitude of two people saying "we're going to get through this" that brings people together if they don't yet have a shared history of hurt feelings and resentments. We've been living together for 2 months, and I even pitched the "what if we make this count towards something" question. We are going to stick it out for the summer months, and when the time (pandemic aside) is right, look for a shared apartment together.

I can't say that I recommend this for everyone, but when both parties are mutually committed into "making it work," and are in a place where they feel confident in most (no one has all) areas of their life (ie financially stable, has a job, healthy self-esteem), sometimes risks are worth it. Oh, and neither one of us throws the "jumping ship" during arguments. Yes it is a logical option, but it i always the last option, one that jeopardizes what we're trying to build together.

[akanetuk]

Very true: but when both parties are mutually committed into "making it work,"

[nopedydoo]

yes. i actually think smth might happen with the guy i like now. quarantine gave me an excuse to text him first because i was "bored". now we've been texting nearly everyday for over 2 months!! the other week we met up to walk around at a park (at a distance ofc). without quarantine i think this wouldn't have happened. i talked to him very minimally at school because we dont have any classes together so usually i might say "hi" in the hallway and have a quick chat if we both went to a club meeting.

[akanetuk]

Nice hope you guys keep the momentum

[Isten]

It neither made, nor broke anything. I've been having this thing with a guy before lockdown, we haven't made anything official, but we are still talking and waiting for when we can meet up again. So it just increased the waiting game and the uncertainity, which I don't like.

Single when it started, Single during shelter in place.

Technically no difference! But I hope there are lots of Single ladies at the bars when they reopen

[akanetuk]

Sure after going through isolation.

[Anonymous]

It helps me with my inner-self. So all this time I guess the problem is we get around with toxic people and society too much, it made us feel bad for ourselves, mostly, from the inside. I mean, well, the struggle is real. 🕶

[akanetuk]

Good time for self reflection.

[ketfoen]

Yeah, since the lockdown sex has been great and very frequent. We watch tv together, cook together, yell at the kids together, shower together, take potty breaks separately (everyone needs their private times).
I am thinking to move to the forest and becoming a naturist, yeah right hahahaha.
We have so much time on our hands, I can even enjoy answering lockdown questions, how about that.

[Skyzel]

Its damaging my relationship, she told me she is getting used to be without me, we dont talk the way we did before covid, i can't go to her plane, neither her to mine, because her mother is very ill, risk group.

[akanetuk]

Try and console her about her mother probably you win her trust trust again

[nodnol32]

Indifferent here. Was single to start with and don't see how dating is possible during this lockdown.

[winterfox10]

I think so... I'm not sure though. I started talking with this girl I've been friendly with for years. Things were going really well, but then they got a little bit weird. I'm optimistic

[Shadowwomen]

Good take but it didn't improve my love life. since my ex boyfriend did broke up with me while i was in lock down. I from UK

[humanearth]

What lock down, I didn't even notice. Joys of living in the middle of no where

[countryboyBo]

Absolutely not. It didn't help at all. Especially cuz I can't drive. It actually worsened it

[akanetuk]

sorry to hear, at lest it is getting better now

[captain_voidwalker]

On e the lockdown gets lifted divorce lawyers are going to make a killing

[Anonymous]

No but I have friend with benefits keeps us both sane.

[akanetuk]

Oh nice

[db684]

Nice. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Red_Dragon]

Made my sex life the same. I still go wherever.

[akanetuk]

interesting

[Anonymous]

No, I'm single and girl I liked built sky high wall in our future together...

[Anonymous]

No but it improved my skin, my overall well-being, my body,...

[Anonymous]

Yeah if you have a partner which I don’t right now. This lockdown has been absolutely horrible for me.

[Hazelstar]

Yes, I am happy being with myself now.

[akanetuk]

The most important thing is happiness, but companion is also good

[Hazelstar]

Well you have to be first happy then you can be happy with someone else else if you're miserable you'll end up feeling miserable in company.

Before the lockdown women avoid me, now they stay an additional six ft away, never return calls, ignore dating profiles. Nothing has ever changed
