#quaranthoughts : quarantine breakups

Seven months down into quarantine and still, cases are still rising. We even got into the top 20 countries with the most active cases of Covid 19. Due to this, we’ve lost a lot; and for some, the one thing they lost was the love of their lives because this pandemic indeed tested a lot of relationships and sadly, many didn’t survive.

I’ve heard a lot of break up stories, and the two main reasons that I gathered was they couldn’t take the distance and second reason was because of third party. I guess, the two reasons are quite connected to each other, right? Couples go on an unexpected long distance relationship, and the other one finds a third party who will fill the spot of the person who is being missed because of the distance.

This is too saddening — some people can’t just stand being away from their girlfriends or boyfriends so they find someone who is readily available to entertain them. I am not judging their decisions in life but please, if you can’t carry a long distance relationship, let your partner know so you guys can do something about it. Now, if it’s not really working then better call the relationship off than staying even if you’re already being cozy with someone.

A lot of us enter relationships so easily that’s why when hard times come, it’s always so easy to let go because the foundation is not that solid like a rock. Lack of foundation means lack of everything.

May this quarantine period be a reminder to be with someone who really knows you not just physically and sexually, but emotionally and mentally as well. Someone who won’t let you go just because of the distance. Someone who won’t be cozy with another person just because you’re not physically present. Be with someone who can be loyal to you even if you’re not together. Wink!
