I've heard this kind of thing a lot online. Especially during covid lockdowns. A family member will spend more and more time online, but sometimes won't openly talk about anything they're actually up to. And when they finally do open up about it...you realize they've completely lost their fuckin' mind.

In this case, though...she does seem a little too comfortable with this supposed "change", for it to be a "surprise".

I found those reports sus af as well. I think covid should have been a wake up call that couples don't even communicate when they are trapped in a house together.

It's purely anecdotal, but my relationship was healthy going into covid and covid didn't change it, so I actually consistently communicated my interests and frustrations, as did my partner.

The idea that someone could make screaming neo nazi videos in the same vicinity as me, or that I wouldn't ask about what my partner is spending all their time doing, that's insane to me.
