Isolation Vs Quarantine : Relationship Vs Distance


Isolation vs Quarantine: Relationship vs Distance

 Part-1

Don’t be anxious about isolation. Quarantine time is more valuable, be it spending together or away, is an opportunity to strengthen the relationship.
Extension of lockdown might even mean increasing romantic lives together soon. Don’t be frenzy about the questions that arise in your mind.

But, I have a question to ask, how about your emotional level now?
What have are you doing to keep your relationship happy and healthy during this pandemic?


This quarantine could lead to one of the two ways; it could suddenly mean we spend much more time together or much less. Self-isolation is an opportunity to "test your strength of feeling". Self-isolating away from your partner, by now would not have taken long for you to start missing them and physical contact.

More than just loneliness, not being able to talk to someone, or see them over a video call is not as fulfilling as having them close; Psychologically – they term it as Skin hunger, the desire of not able to meet and be in physical, which is the most human desire of longing for one. In the process of desire for others, most people dwell too much on their past experiences; most of it is ruinous to their ongoing wellbeing.


Playing with pets, scrolling pictures, hugging the pillow, looking at the flower that tunes chorus from its branches to its mother earth and the dream goes on. Many couples are now facing the prospect of spending apart.
                                                                                                              
Those isolated partners are probably not used to the amount of time they are now spending apart. As their romantic lives, work lives, and domestic lives have already begun to pile on top of each other and those of them are here. The importance of finding space from each other might be paramount but needs to be addressed.

In the current situation, you might lose your boundaries sometimes things may be so blurred. It is hard to know when work stops and relationships start.

It’s important to create opportunities to find your own space, and treat time together. This is something that people with experience of long-distance relationships are already doing. And there is more that we can learn from spending time apart well to understand each other more. Talk about the positives and find the individual interests, work mutually plan the future together, this might be better off being apart.


Missing each other shows your relationship is healthier. The day you reunite, with the greatest feeling, that day would be of commitment towards togetherness. The more attempts you use with positivity, openness and assurances to maintain your relationship would be nurtured.
