The pandemic has put a unique strain on relationships, often throwing couples into confined spaces and forcing them to confront their issues in a way that might have taken years and years during normal pre-pandemic life.
In some cases, relationships have grown stronger. In others, they’ve collapsed under the pressure. Either way, everything’s moved at a rapid speed, for better or for worse.
One Twitter user has taken to compiling some of these accounts to discuss women’s awakening to “the disutility of heterosexual marriage.”
User @girlziplocked asked for millennial women to share their stories anonymously, noting that “so many women feel this pressure to make bad marriages work because that’s what good women do and it fucking kills them for a full decade until they really can’t take it anymore.”
“If marriage is a bad deal, it’s a really bad deal for women,” she added.
The responses poured in, with several women sharing how working from home made them realize how little their husbands contributed to the family workload.
