Postponed breakup
I live with my boyfriend & actually tried to break up with him pre-corona craze, but I will wait until this all blows over because I’m all comfortable and shit.
Unbreakable lease
This isn’t relationship-related but before All Of This my roommate revealed that she low key hates me and wants to move out early. We’ve been trying furiously to break our lease, but our landlord won’t release us until she has a new lessee in place. Just got an email that our landlord’s broker cancelled this weekend’s open house because no one is going to viewings right now, as my roommate and I both head into full WFH.
irresponsible and morally dubious
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, because my boyfriend and I are NOT quarantining together, but I’m worried we’ll break up because of it. While I am at home quarantining, my boyfriend is doing spring break on south padre island which has not shut down or cancelled ANY of their spring break plans. I’ve stressed to my boyfriend about how dangerous this is, not necessarily to him, but to any people he may spread it to that may not be as fortunate to him, and he gets frustrated that I’m going to make him worry and ruin his trip. I, of course, think he SHOULD worry and the trip SHOULD be canceled. I’m sympathetic to how disappointing that must be but when lives are at stake, I just think it’s irresponsible and morally dubious not to! I hope we don’t, but this could be one of our only real fights we’ve ever had.
UPDATE: unfortunately it’s too late- he’s already driving there with his friends. I keep telling him to turn around and come back, but I really don’t think it’s any use at this point. I’m gonna lose my mind while *I* quarantine by myself!
My husband moved out over coronavirus
Thought I’d share my story! I am an elementary school principal. I have 1300 students and 95 staff members. At this point it’s probably inevitable that I’ll come in contact with Coronavirus. Well my husband suffers from severe anxiety. He works from home which means the last 2 weeks of nonstop CNN while he tries to work. He also has high blood pressure which he read is more likely to die from virus. He decided to move to his mothers to not be infected by me and to self quarantine. I guess I feel abandoned....like we’re on the titanic and he’s in a boat but I’m alone drowning down in steerage like that old couple in bed lol. Oh well. Gotta get back to work tomorrow. I work in a severely low income area and those kiddos need their free breakfast and lunch. Thanks for reading!
Ay yo, really hot boyfriend check
I’ve been going around the house singing “ay yo, really hot boyfriend check” and subbing it in for anything….. .”really hot toothbrush check” “really good dinner check” in the tik tok voice and according to my bf, my brain is officially rotted
We need to stay inside
Earlier today my boyfriend was saying he was going to go to his office to pick something up. He later said he may be filming something on Wednesday. All day I’ve said we need to stay inside unless it’s for food. We went out for a quick walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and upon returning I suggest tomorrow we slip a note under our elderly downstairs neighbor’s door (who hates and harassed us for some time, yet we recently introduced ourselves and became likes) and offer our help in case he needs anything. My boyfriend immediately started arguing with me, saying that my suggestion goes against what I said all day about staying inside. I said yes there are exceptions, like helping somebody in need. He wanted to find any problem he could with me wanting to offer help. It turned into a huge fight of me calling him a d*ck etc and now I’m pouting in my bedroom about to go to sleep and this is only the beginning hahah
Groceries
Yesterday my bf and I fought because I loaded up on $200 worth of groceries, but only got fruit snacks and veggies and quesadilla fixings and “nothing we could make a big batch of to freeze.” I thought he was overlooking how nice it was for me to even go and pick up the groceries, and he thought I was being short-sighted and irresponsible by not getting ingredients that would last us longer in the event of a lockdown or quarantine. I started tearing up out of frustration and basically told him to screw himself. We had just driven our dog to the beach near our house, and he said he didn’t want to go anymore because we were in a fight and wouldn’t have a good time. I got out of the car in a huge huff and started walking towards the beach saying it’s not fair to the dog—we came all the way here so he could run around! This led to a movie-like scene where my bf drove down the block next to me, talking to me while leaning out the driver’s side window as I cried and walked angrily. We finally made up about the groceries (we were both right), and had a good time at the beach. We’ve never fought so dramatically before, and felt sheepish afterwards that it was about GROCERIES. Only in the Corona-era would tensions be so high.
“it doesn’t look like you’re working”
Literally this am my bf asked me to make him a bagel and I told him no I’m working, and he actually looked up at me and said “it doesn’t look like you’re working, it looks like you’re staring out the window”
Coronavirus philosophies
if you want a dramatic love story my girlfriend has cystic fibrosis and will literally die if she gets coronavirus and i have asthma which means i can easily get the virus and die from it and i work at a theme park so i’m even more likely to get it.
the moral is we could possibly kill each other if one of catches it but we have done nothing to change our habits of encountering it and we both have sore throats right now ((:
Flight attendant ex
I’ve been living with my ex for the past couple months to ride out the lease we had and I feel like I barely escaped getting the sick. She’s a flight attendant and has been traveling a lot lately. She came back about a week ago and has been very sick. Somehow she’s still working???? Anyway I just got a new apartment and literally moved out 2 days ago. Pretty sure she got that rona
Isolated with your husband
Girl you are gonna lose your shit if you were isolated with your husband. My husband and I share a study coz we’re not rich folks with 2 studies. Usually I work from home so I use it in the day and he uses it in the evenings. Now we both keep bumping into each other as the wifi is best in the study and weaker in other areas. He also changes the AC temperature to 23 which is cold for me (we’re in India). When one is gets a call we have to signal each other and move to other rooms. But on a normal day, we’re nice people.
Facetime date
I saw your tweet and this isn’t super dramatic but it’s killing me and I need to get it out so I thought I would share. I’m a freshman in college and I’ve had an on and off thing for about a month with a boy who I met there who is also a freshman. It’s been complicated but I’ve had feelings and he just confessed he also had strong feelings and asked me out on a date right before we left for spring break (which I am on right now). We planned something for the week we were supposed to get back but now spring break has been extended an extra week, all our classes are moving online after that, and the university is urging students not to return if possible. This is where it gets bad because I’m an out of state student and getting home on short notice is complicated. But he’s from London and his parents want him home as soon as possible in case future travel bans would prevent him from coming home later or at the end of the semester and his US health insurance runs out at the end of the semester. So our first date might have to be over facetime or in 5 months for the fall semester lmao. I am so sad.
Slept in a motel
Background:
- My wife and I have been married for a year and 3months. We’ve been together for almost 6 years. And have lived together for 4 years. We got a dog 2 years in.
- My wife, and I (to a lesser extent) are worried about the virus and have been ‘social distancing’ before it was cool. Neither of us are sick.
- it’s been over 4 weeks of wfh everyday and being hermit. We’ve fought multiple times in that period. Mostly blowups over small things like a misplaced cough or sneeze. Last night it peaked and I was kicked out of the apt and slept in a motel.
The story:
We fought 2 days ago in the afternoon. I don’t remember exactly what that was about because it was so small compared to what happened next. But it was along the same line of argument (that she didn’t want to “mother” me about hygiene and I felt she was overdoing it) yea, juicy stuff. We apologized to each other and went about the day. That night just before we both fell asleep; I felt a sneeze thatI couldn’t quickly cover, so i turn my head and mush it into the bedsheet on my side. She tells me to wash my hands, I tell her I didn’t sneeze into my hands, half groggy she calls me immature, that she’s not my mother, and demands that I wash my hands. I’m triggered I get up and say I’m sleeping on the couch after I wash my hands. As I leave she calls me a “fuckin fucker” lmao. The night goes by, in the next day we don’t talk to each other and give each other some space. Later I ask if she wants to talk, she says no, I wait longer and ask again. She says no and adds a few more choice words. I trigger again and we fight. It was epic with yelling and tears and snot. Totally the hygienic scene you want during ‘social distancing’. Anyways she tells me I should go, eventually after more fighting I tearfully pack my dufflebag and leave.
I get a hotel, over the course of the night my wife calls, FaceTimes, and texts to which I ignore, except to say “I’m ok” back in text. I didn’t sleep much that night. She texts to ask if I can please come back tomorrow. I say I will but nothing else. Woke up this morning and let myself gather my thoughts. I pack up my stuff and head home. Once home my wife apologizes again. I apologize as well. And we both nap together as neither of us slept at all the night before. There’s a lot more detail to this story but that’s the jist of it. To sum it up. Quarantines with your loved ones really shows you why you love them, and hate them sometimes.
Shoe box apartment
My boyfriend and I broke up last week but we’re continuing to live civility like roommates until April when I find a new place to live. Couldn’t think of a better time to quarantine in a Manhattan sized shoe box apartment 🙃
“How’s your week been”
hi i thought your tweet was funny and i’m so drunk but basically i’ve been hanging out w this guy for like 2 months and he’s a pain in my ass but i rly like him. our college is cancelling for a month and he texted me today like “how’s your week been” just absolutely NO acknowledgment of that fact that we prob won’t see each other for another 2 months lmao .... this fuckin bitch boy. hope you’re having a lovely day.
Salvage shop
I work at a salvage shop that I own that is sort of in a tough section of town. Today a high speed chase ended just up the street from our store and I missed it by probably 2 minutes. I had stepped out for lunch. The police had the road closed for maybe an hour or so after while they looked for the guy. I spent most of that in the door to my shop looking out at the street and trying to figure out what was going on.
The rest of the afternoon went fine until around 5:30 when my neighbor called me and said that the cops were back and they were at the house across the street from me. I waited around till they left and called it an early day. We are usually there till 6 but I wasn’t going to wait around.
FWB roommates
Hiya, thought I'd enable your love of drama bc I, too, love drama. So me and my housemate met on tinder, decided not to date but became fwb, but like legit best pals, not just the benefits. When I needed a new housemate, he moved in, and we have been on and off with the benefits but have stayed bffs, all surprisingly civil thus far. However we've been in an "off" phase since like the start of January bc he wanted to focus on himself and maybe move to starting to date again and all. Cool cool cool. Except I have not been dating (dear lord tinder is the worst) and have been getting horny af, and I know he's not been dating either. Also like the flat is small and walls are thin so it's difficult to "relieve any pressure" when we're both there without it being blindingly obvious what's going on. So if we end up quarantined it could be a TENSE situation. We also both get cabin fever quickly and get snippy if we haven't been outside by like 2pm and have to go for walks regularly, so that's going to be wild fun. There will either be literal war or a lot of shagging, or both. unlikely to be neither.
