Dr. Roberson, WVLT: Divorce is possible "side effect" of quarantine, expert offers relationship advice

Dr. Roberson spoke with WVLT in Knoxville, TN about tips for keeping our relationships healthy during Covid-19 quarantine.

“She said first, set some guidelines with your partner. ‘Set separate workstations. It can look like maybe unique entertainment viewing time. Maybe you watch a show by yourself and a show as a family. Maybe there’s certain things you don’t talk about during the day and there’s other topics to talk about at night.’

Roberson also recommends watching your interaction with your partner. She said when individuals become stressed, their interactions can turn toxic which could include a defensive and critical tone. In these situations, Roberson said be self-aware and take responsibility for your actions. ‘An apology goes a long way.’"
