Good Lifestyle

Quarantines can be a relatively recent development in Europe and the US, but China deals with this since last year and people are arrested at home for a while. Many thought that this would mean a babies boom in the country, since you can not leave the house; So it would be best if you occupy and use free time to make babies. But reality seems to be much less optimistic.

Many couples are separating and some couples plan to divorce as soon as possible. Standing at home with your partner 24 hours a day for more than a month is not something easy for many. With so long in his hands and few distractions, people began to reveal their dark sides, bad habits and even some secrets were discovered.

It turns out that you can live with someone for years, but as you are at work most of the time and only see yourself for a part of the day, it means that you keep some things for yourself most of the time. But when you get really stuck for days in a row - your true manias are revealed.

Some women discovered that their partner was cheating on them, others found irreconcilable differences that were previously easy to manage. You could say that people were spending no natural time in confinement with their partner and getting a little crazy, but on the other hand - can you really spend years with a person if you can not get along with her for a month?

In the Chinese forums, there was a lot of talk about listening neighbors fighting, arguing and crying, but at the same time some people complained that although they were at home with the partner for a month, they barely talked for 10 seconds a day. Self-insulation is difficult, no matter how you see it. If you are arrested alone, you can feel lonely and have a lack of human contact, on the other hand, realize that you barely talk to your partner and feel alone even though you are together with it weeks seems even more depressing.

Some people say that for them the quarantine was described as living in a pane of pressure. You are contained in a small space, with all your demons and internal thoughts and someone else with your own emotional luggage and strange habits. At first, you think everything will be fine, so you get angry with certain things, but you do not want to let it turn into a discussion. After all, you can not get out of this situation, so it's best not to get a conflict. But then the pressure increases until one day you lose the patience and simply explode in the biggest fight of your relationship. And this is how China's cities have seen a huge increase in divorce requests.

A matrimonial agency in Dazhou, Sichuan province, southwestern China, has received more than 300 divorce requests in the last two months. Other cities had to limit the amount of divorce orders awarded per day, possibly to discourage people to make such drastic decisions, but that did not decrease the public's speed. They simply wait for the next date available, queue to divorce.

Is this a lesson we can lead to the future or is it just an experiment that proves the futility of marriage and the dark side of isolation? It's hard to say at the moment. Some say that the increase in divorces can be simply because people are stressed and want an easy way to get out of the situation, others say that quarantine was a wake up for the real needs and life goals of people. So what about these is the answer? Only time will tell you.
