Breaking up in quarantine

FoxPrince April 30th, 2020

How do you break up with someone while in quarantine, if you live together?

I have been thinking of breaking up with my boyfriend for a long time now, I've tried in the past but he didn't take me seriously and didn't let me leave. Right now, we are stuck inside together from the quarantine, but I still really want to break up. I can't leave not only due to the lock down, but I also don't have the means to move out right away, and I have no friends or family nearby I could stay with. And, we even share the same bed, and don't really have a couch or any space where we could sleep separately. I'm so tired of waiting to break up but...I just don't know how it would work out under these circumstances? What can I do?

@FoxPrince That would be hard. It took a long time to break up with my ex, and I was scared to do it back then. In the end we had loud yelling matches that ended it for us. Isolating together is hard for anyone--I in fact have to isolate with my ex during day hours to homeschool our little kids! That's awkward, but we're still being respectful of each other. I do not have a right answer, but I'd think staying in the same bed would be the wrong thing.
