Divorce Numbers Spike In China Spikes Because of Quarantine

Quarantines might be a fairly recent development in Europe and the US, but China’s been dealing with it since last year and people have been stuck at home for a while. Many thought this would mean a baby-boom for the country since you can’t leave the house, you might as well get busy and use your free time to make some babies. But the reality seems to be way less optimistic.

Many couples are splitting up and married couples are planning to get a divorce as soon as they can. Being stuck at home with your partner 24/7 for over a month is not an easy thing for many. With so much time on your hands and few distractions people started revealing their darker sides, bad habits and even some secrets were uncovered.

Turns out you can live with someone for years, but since you’re both at work most of the time and only seeing each other for a portion of the day means you get to keep to yourself for most of the time. But once you’re truly stuck together for days on end – your true colours come out.
