He continued: “Before the quarantine happened, we were definitely talking divorce, and the quarantine kind of forced us to sit still, block out the noise from the world, you know the world can get very, very loud, and we tend to let the world’s opinion mean more in certain situations than it should.”
“We’re actually stronger now than we were before,” he added.
“Now we feel like we can really talk to each other.”
