Read More »For Billie, 22, from Manchester, her reset relationship was a less positive experience. “I was basically sick and tired of being at home with my parents and sister,” she explains. “Do you know how when you’re home for too long, you kind of regress back into a teenager?” After lockdown was lifted in the summer of 2020, Billie was quick to move into a flat of her own – finally, she’d get to try “adult life”. “Literally, I was like, ‘Get me out of here!’” she recalls. For Billie, her need to reset was about feeling like herself again after months living back at home with her parents. She ended up dating a guy from the pub where she was working. They went out for drinks, stayed up late chatting, and even began hanging out with each other’s friends. “It was amazing,” Billie says, “but I always kind of felt it was a short-term thing.” He, unfortunately, did not. While Billie got a reset – “It’s like I’ve been cleared out,” she says – she realises now that she hurt his feelings along the way. Reset relationships aren’t that dissimilar from rebound relationships – except what you’re rebounding from is the pandemic. But reset relationships aren’t only a pandemic phenomenon. They can happen after any period of your life that leaves you feeling stuck. Iona, 23, from Glasgow, is a musician. For her, reset relationships offer an artistic reset, too. “As a singer and a writer, I sometimes feel that dating and the men I’m dating mark eras. And sometimes you grow out of one era and into a new one,” she says. “A little like Taylor Swift, I’m definitely guilty of using new flames to press the restart button and refresh.” “I think the exciting thrill and butterflies of a new thing – the chase, the wooing – sets my creative spark going too.”
