It’d be miraculous if you managed to get through multiple lockdowns with no effect on your relationship.
Relationship expert Neil Wilkie breaks down 12 common harmful behaviours many couples will have fallen into in lockdown, and how to ditch them.When we’ve been cooped up inside with our partners for months on end, it’s natural that we might stay quiet about any negative emotions. ‘Use words like “I feel…” and avoid blaming words like “You…”. This helps you dig below the stuff, into the real feelings.’Related to the last point, you might have delayed dealing with big issues – whether practical or emotional – until lockdown is over.Don’t let delaying turn into ignoring, then forgetting.With all the misery of Covid-19, it’s likely you’ll have fallen into a bit of a sadness spiral, unable to talk about anything that isn’t doom and gloom.
‘A few words could open up an amazing world of possibilities. Discuss with your partner what you like and find out what their needs and desires are. ‘Change this pattern by setting aside time and a place where the two of you can connect as a couple,’ suggests Neil. ‘Create those moments of intimacy where it is as if the world stops and nothing else matters.’You’ve stopped appreciating each other‘Knowing that your partner appreciates you will help your relationship to blossom.‘Then, regularly, say very specifically what your partner has done that day that you appreciate.’Your relationship survived lockdown, just about.
