There could be a surge in divorces once coronavirus stay-at-home orders are lifted, some attorneys predict according to the Washingtonian.

Spouses are discovering affairs while in quarantine with their spouses. Attorney Heather Hostetter told the Washingtonian that after spending so much time under the same roof, one woman is convinced her husband is having an affair, a suspicion she initially had that was only heightened after spending days trapped together.

“The other spouse is being super protective of the phone, in a way that seems out of character,” she described one woman telling her. “He’s been taking extra-long bike rides. She raised with me, ‘I think he goes out to exercise and he’s seeing this person and having sex. Not only does that make me feel like crap, but then he’s exposing our whole family to a possible Covid-19 contact.’”

According to some reports out of China, the number of divorces surged in March when people began emerging from coronavirus lockdowns, Bloomberg reported.

I'm shocked.  Just shocked.   

[240B]

Stress of confinement with spouse and kids
Stress of unemployment
Stress of no money
Stress of not having access to stress relievers, gym, pubs, etc
Stress of loss of normal daily routine
Stress of discovering things about your spouse that you did not know before
Stress of discovering that you can 'love' someone but not really 'like' them anymore
Stress of not having access to drugs you are addicted to

Oh yes, there will definitely be a huge surge in divorce.
Lawyers are going to clean up when this thing ends
