The government and the media are stating that this virus pandemic is leading to a rise in domestic violence in the community. The government has thrown in an extra $150 million for domestic violence. One wonders why? It can be attributed to financial issues such as loss of employment. Another point is being stuck with your partner for 24/7 now is causing some people to be uncomfortable with the idea. They were going to work and not seeing each other for most of the day. It's not possible now. Without this virus and self isolation, some people could go and see a WL or ML and then return home as if nothing had occurred and feel much better.
Many people don't know what to do when in self isolation. Some people will be bored and will start to argue. This will expose people to violence whether they be male or female. This is why punting can help relationships stay together.
