This is the key to a healthy and long-lasting relationship. I didn't marry my wife just because I found her attractive. She was genuinely my best friend at the time, the person I turned to before anyone else.
During the pandemic, the divorce rate skyrocketed because so many people found themselves stuck at home with their spouses and realized they didn't like spending a lot of time around them. Going to work every day gave them time away, but being with their spouse 24/7 drove them nuts.
Not for my wife and I. We already spent every day hanging out together. Even if we were engaged in our own separate hobbies and interests, we were at least spending time in the same space together. So the pandemic was just more of our normal routine.
Given that I’m a fresh high school graduate I’m not looking to get married any time soon, but my girlfriend was my best friend first and the two of us have been together nearly three years now and still love each others’ company. I would have to say that it’s how we’ve managed to stay together through high school, we actually just enjoy getting to see each other in any context. She’s equally as much of a nerd as me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t imagine getting together with someone who I don’t already love hanging out with first.
This was exactly my pandemic experience as well. "After" covid, I never went back to work in the office so on the rare occasion that I'd pop in, people would always ask how I can stand being home all the time and lament that they'd never get a moment's peace if they "had to" stay home.
