The announcement was made today, marking the official selection of the country for this international competition.

Why this matters

Loneliness for two: when a couple merely lives together and becomes a domestic business

The article addresses "loneliness for two," a phenomenon in which couples who live together lose their emotional connection and start functioning merely as household administrators, dividing tasks and practical responsibilities without maintaining a true affective bond. The text explains that this loneliness settles in gradually: first kisses and hugs disappear, then deep conversations, and the relationship becomes a domestic business where one handles the shopping, the other pays the bills, but both no longer talk about their feelings. The article warns that this dynamic can be even more painful than the loneliness of someone who is alone, since the person has someone physically present but feels emotionally abandoned.
