Even if you love her madly, staying at home 24 hours a day with your other half can quickly become an ordeal! Here are some tips to help you both survive indefinite confinement.
As divorce applications explode in China, living in confinement has also become a real challenge for many couples in France. Because yes, love is not everything! Even if you are madly in love with each other, staying at home 24 hours a day side by side can sometimes become complicated to manage. We give you some advice to avoid losing your support and to live in confinement with serenity!
- Try to set the same hours
So that you don't both feel out of place, try to wake up at the same time in the morning. This will allow you to set a rhythm in your days and you will be able to share together the small moments of everyday life which you no longer had the time to enjoy: having breakfast alone, having a quiet read in the living room or why not think about the future decoration of the kitchen.
- Organize an office area each
Being both on the sofa is clearly not the best for your productivity! First of all, reclaim the space of your apartment / house by making it as pleasant as possible and by defining your own work area. One on the desk in the bedroom, the other on the living room table, it's up to you to see what will be best to be as effective at home as at the office!
The key to your couple's survival: don't let go. No, telework does not necessarily mean staying in pilou pilou pajamas all day! For you and your partner, take the time to prepare yourself a little. No need to make tons of them either! Simply put on a comfortable outfit, do your hair and / or make up a minimum and voila.
- Take time for yourself
Just because you're confined doesn't mean you have to be stuck to each other every hour. Give yourself time alone, we assure you that it feels good! Read on the bed while he or she is preparing dinner, play sports while he or she is taking a shower … In short, do not hesitate to isolate yourself for a little while when you feel that you are going to fall for it there's nothing wrong with that!
- Distribute tasks well
Confinement upsets the daily lives of all couples. Taking care of children, preparing meals, cleaning … We advise you to agree on an equitable distribution of household tasks so that it is pleasant for everyone. If you have children, you can make a list of things to do each day. A super tip to avoid boredom!
- Doing activities together
When teleworking is over, consider doing activities together. If you find it difficult to motivate yourself alone, your other half is there to make the sporting activity more fun and effective. Cook together, tinker, organize a party of cards … There is no shortage of ideas! Finally, confinement can also be an opportunity to rediscover yourself sexually, to win back and find a new bond.
