Good Lifestyle

It will be that quarantine is a quite recent question both in Europe and in the United States but in China, who has to do so since last year, people have been stuck at home for quite a while. Many thought that a baby-boom would have occurred for the country since, not being able to leave the house, you could get to do using your free time to make children. But reality seems to be much less optimistic.

Many couples are separating and married ones are designing divorce as soon as possible. Find yourself stuck at home with your partner 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for over a month, it's not an easy thing for many. With so much time available and many less distractions, people have begun to reveal their darkest sides, their bad habits and even some secrets that come to the surface.

What emerges is that you can live with someone for years but, since both are at work for most of the time, the fact of seeing each other only for a limited period of the day means that everyone enjoys himself for more time. When you are really stuck together, for days and days, the real shades come out.

There are women who have discovered the betrayal of their partner, others who have found irreconcilable differences that before managed to manage. We could say that people are simply spending an abnormal amount of their time in close contact with their partner, going crazy and running out at home. On the other hand, can you really spend years and years with a person with whom you can't even get along with a month?

It was talked so much about the Chinese forums of neighbors who quarreled, clashes and crying but at the same time, some complained that, although they were at home with their partner for a month, they barely chatted 10 seconds per day. The auto-help is difficult, no matter how you look at it. If you are stuck yourself you might feel alone and in deficiency of human contact but, on the other hand, realizing that you can barely talk to your partner and feel alone even when you are blocked together for weeks, it sounds even more depressing.

Some described quarantine how to live in a pressure cooker. We are actually enclosed in a narrow space, with all their own demons and inner thoughts and another person with their own emotion and strange habits. At the beginning it is thought that it will be fine, then we start to be annoyed by certain things but you don't want to argue over everything. On the other hand, there is no way out of this situation, so it is better not to start a conflict, so the pressure increases, until one day we both lose patience and simply explode in the greatest quarrel in the history of the relationship. And this is how Chinese cities have seen a massive increase in divorce applications.

A Dazhou Double Agency, Southwestern China Sichuan Province, recorded more than 300 divorce questions in the last two months. Other cities had to limit the divorces that can be granted a day, perhaps to discourage people from taking such drastic decisions, without anyway slowing down its phenomenon. People just wait for the next appointment available, people actually make the row to separate.

Is it something from which we can draw down for the future or is it just an experiment that demonstrates the uselessness of marriage and the dark side of the insulation? Difficult to answer, now as now. Some say that the increase in divorces is dictated by the fact that people are stressed and seek an easy way out of the report, others claim that quarantine has awakened the real needs of people and their life goals. And therefore, what is the answer? Only time can you say.
