My partner and I have spent every second in isolation together and have had barely any arguments. Tonight we had a very huge fight over nothing at all and I yelled at him like I never have before and said some things that were very wrong and that I didn’t even mean. It was a lot bigger then a normal argument and he said he doesn’t want to be around me at all and it’s best we end things. (We are both very hot headed people)

Lately I’ve been feeling pretty lonely as my partner and I moved down to my family holiday home, so I’m feeling very distant and far away from my usual life. I have quit a large group of friends but feel like no one actually cares about me. I have always been someone to never really show or tell my friends how I’m actually feeling and just put on a fake smile.

Hello Flower and Anon, can I offer you both a warm welcome and I'm sorry for the situation you are both in.

This lockup period has put so much pressure on each one of us, it's different for you being together the whole weekend, because this has been months, 24/7, so to expect disagreement or an argument with the person you love is bound to happen, don't we get cross with ourselves anyway, I do.

It all depends on how much 'give and take' is offered and accepted that keeps a relationship together, which maybe different to a long term marriage or perhaps not, only because you know the 'ins and outs' of each other.

I'm divorced so maybe I'm wrong, but to make up is always fun, again this depends on the situation.

Good luck to both of you.

Geoff.
