😉 Hello everyone! Thank you for choosing the article “Quarantined domestic quarrels: reasons and search for a way out” on this site! How are you doing there, in quarantine?
Oh, this coronavirus! People are tired of isolation: the usual rhythm of life was disrupted, the line of personal space was erased, nervousness and family conflicts appeared.
Who is stronger?
Quarantine is stressful for many families. Life has forced many to go through tough tests of family relationships for strength. Who knows, maybe this is for the best? After all, where love lives – life exam is not terrible.
Happy couples finally have time and the opportunity to spend it together. If you have a strong family, then everyone cooks, reads, cleans up, watches films, and exercises together. They cannot be broken!
But there are also many weak ones. Psychologists note that in the normal mode, spouses can communicate with each other much less than with colleagues and friends. Now they are forced to spend all the time together. Everything that has been accumulated and hushed up until now is now coming out.
Some have lost interest in each other, others are constantly swearing, remembering old grievances. It was not only the spouses who began to quarrel: relations with children, with elderly relatives when living together became aggravated.
Violation of the boundaries of personal space
Many have lost a secluded corner, an “island” where they could stay in silence and recover. These days, you especially need to remember about the sense of tact, not to cross the border of the personal space of family members. Do not deprive yourself and your loved one of your individual territory. Otherwise, there will be oversaturation with each other.
Sharing adult children with their parents does not lead to anything good. This is an eternal “generational conflict”. In conditions of constant tightness, aggressiveness always intensifies. And these are nervous breakdowns and scandals. Be patient!
Endless Groundhog Day
People scandal when they are stupidly bored. People begin to quarrel actively when they feel that their life is turning into a single “groundhog day” of monotonous everyday life. A pandemic is such a time.
Travel, restaurants and lounges are closed. Cinema halls, gyms, theaters, exhibitions, parks – locked! You won’t talk to friends, you won’t meet with mistresses (lovers). You’re on a short leash. Taking out the trash or going to the store became a breath of air!
Nerves begin, and behind them scandals out of the blue. Reason: there is nowhere to attach yourself! And you attach yourself to a bookcase while you can read. Better yet, watch TV shows. There are many interesting ones. For example, Medici: Lords of Florence, Borgia, Downton Abbey, Young Pope, etc. You will not regret!
You can also learn something online. There are helpful courses and workshops. Remember that the winners are the people who can find pluses in any situation!
What to do in quarantine?
At the same time, tackle the things you didn’t have enough time for:
- rake things, get rid of trash;
- do a general cleaning;
- put your winter clothes in order;
- watch a movie with children, read fairy tales;
- get out paints, pencils, get creative;
- read aloud and discuss the book;
- play bingo, find an old game to play together;
- prepare a delicious candlelit lunch or dinner;
- dream, make plans for the future;
- and finally, read Robert Skinner’s The Family and How to Survive in It.
