What are the psychological effects of long-distance relationships during the Covid-19 pandemic?
Hey everyone,
I would like your help in a slightly different matter please. For my final year Uni dissertation, I will be looking at the psychological effects of long distance relationship separation during the Covid-19 pandemic.
If anyone here is currently in a long distance relationship and has not seen their partner for a long time? I would really appreciate it if you could take 5-10 minutes to complete my online questionnaire.
Even if you have been recently reunited with your partner, you can still fill it out, you'll just need to trace your memory back to the stressful experiences and your mindset whilst you were stranded abroad.
This is a first of its' kind, so i'm hoping for some really interesting data.
Thank you (-:

I had to go back to South Africa due to a family emergency. Me and my fiancè have already worked in Thailand for one year at that stage.
After 1 year and 2 months apart i am finally back in Thailand and finish my quarantine in bangkok on saturday.
So ready for our new chapter.
One thing i have learned this past year apart is if your relationship is strong enough, trust is there, communication is there and being able to talk openly about your feelings then you will be just fine.
I answered your survey. 😃

i do my best to motivate myself.. normally it works but I am only human (this one year since 18 March 2020) - it is damn difficult .. will take a couple of days to be alone to rejuvenate myself.. there is like a 6 to 8 weeks of being alright then.. there would be something that triggers the sad ness and feeling of hopeless ness..Jeff *********
OP@ลีน่า ********************
you’re only human mate, can’t be 100% all the time. Is there any plans to see your partner again soon?

thank you, this study is definitely for people in your situation, i'm hoping it'll promote some exposure for long distance relationships, and that they should be classed as 'essential travel', if anything like this was to happen again in the future.Tomas **********
Have not seen my gf in Bangkok since February last year due to covid19 :(
