Broke up with my boyfriend of 8 years and bought a new vibrator right before the world fell apart because I knew which one I wanted to spend the lockdown with😏

on the lockout

My husband and I are both working from home now. We are in a one-bedroom apartment, so he works in the bedroom and I work in the living room. I like to take breaks throughout the day to check in on him and on day 3 he is apparently already sick of me.
I tried to go in the bedroom and he had locked the door and wouldn’t open it!

healing takes time

I'm in a relationship that wasn't going that great. Last week i've been really sick, and my boyfriend's reactions just, as usual, so disappointing and rude and mysogynist. I was thnking to take a break, but when I'll get better (i couldn't breath and it was really stressful so it wasn't the time). Then the quarantine, so i decided to take things cool and say nothing until it's over (cause of course we live together).

Day 4 : just did a huge speech and cry and all about how and why i can't be with him anymore. now he's like not really talking to me. it's gonna be long

working it out

She never went to the gym, but now she’s doing home workouts in my living room.. what did I get myself into. ( it may be over)

love in the time of

My boyfriend and I just said "I love you" 2 weeks ago, and then COVID hit. He's a doctor working in hospitals where there are coronavirus patients. Basically, I don't know when I'll see him again. I'm wavering between "I will see him again soon it will be ok" and "It could be months I'm going to lose it." I'm so sad but also so happy but also so scared for him. There's little to no guidance for partners of doctors, I'm trying not to feel like this is the beginning of something awful. I already miss him so much but know he's doing important work. Please everyone, take the measures seriously so the people who love doctors can see them again.

going on 30

he wakes me up with coffee in the morning, always kisses my forehead, and sitting here in the smell of his greasy baseball cap I wear. my husbands been working 7 am to 11 pm at the hospitals as he works to move staff to prepare for every bed filling up. i had just returned from a 2 week trip away and thinking how it was so great to have some time to myself alone, to now being too much time... so I take a walk and cute babies keep walking by waving their baby hands out their strollers as I walk about. And I just melt like most basic white girl ever wishing I didn’t have to keep 6 ft from this frickin’ adorable baby. Guys, these are serious times... while half of us are probably going to get divorced.. the other half’s probably gonna end up pregnant.

home from the holidays

So I've hooked up with my roommate. then he gosthed me durning the holidays. he just came back home, because he lives here and pays rent. and we are stuck together in this house.

only in santa cruz (alternately: you see, i see: you see, SC)

Today the second day of Spring 3/20/20 I finally left my home to go take care of some business but, when I got to downtown Santa Cruz, CA, I was shocked that it was a “Ghost Town!” Stores were closed, most businesses closed, the SSA closed and the city library was closed! I couldn’t believe it and I was shocked. I ran into my Crystal Healer friend and the first thing he told me was, “Don’t have any FEAR. Don’t walk in fear. Stand or sit or lay out in the SUNLIGHT as much as possible. The sun kills germs and viruses etc. The SUN is powerful. Stay calm as this is more healing for you. And turn OFF the radio and TV because that will instill more fear. Don’t let fear get a hold of you!” Well, I had to agree with him. These ways of being will help a person to overcome their fears. Fear destroys our immune system. He told me this pandemic and the fear behind it will make more people sick. So DON’T WALK IN FEAR. Build up your immune system with Vitamin C and the sunlight and healthy organic food and herbal supplements etc!
This is good and healthy advice from my Crystal Healer friend whom I respect and love very much. He is a leader/healer! May God bless, heal and prosper all people on planet earth!!!

being blue out of the blue

My partner and I moved in together in January. So far, so good. However, this quarantine situation has my exes crawling out of the woodwork with well wishes and recollections that I know he isn't fond of.

One ex writes, "We were in and out of each other's lives in less than the space of 2 years, but it feels enormous. I will make a confession: I ran a data recovery program on my computer trying to find 'that one video I deleted,' but couldn't dig it up. You are still my #1 [sex partner]."

After two years of nothing, another ex messages, "It's only day 4 of this stupid quarantine and I'm already going down memory lane. Still have so many photos/notes from you. Had a nice cry."

It's nice that this situation has been helping people open up and share their true feelings, but if you are one of my exes, please just keep it to yourself.

other side of the coin

So here is the tea. Moved in with my boyfriends parents 6 months ago. It is an absolutely hugeeee 9/10 bedroom house with a completely self contained flat at the top of the house that me and him live in. Soo they are millionaires, I am not. Before living there I was in a normal but smallish 2 bedroom house with my mum where we share just the one toilet (context for later). My mum is in her late 60s and is a carer for old people. So they have loads of extra space for self isolating if the need arises. They have the self contained flat at the top, a garage which is converted into offices and is the size of a small house and I'm pretty sure they have a couple of empty flats floating around London. Now they have his nan staying who to be fair is old and at high risk and is staying in one of the bedrooms in the main house. So, I accidentally got exposed due to work with the nhs. I went into a facility which has a coronavirus confirmed patient, who was locked up in another room. Went straight in, didn't touch anything and then straight out when I was told. Obv then profusely washed my hands. So, low and behold I am told that I cannot self isolate in the self contained flat at the top of the house or anywhere else that they own incase I give it to the nan, so I have to move back in with my mum. Now, I would understand this if this is a normal house. But it is a hugeeee mansion with a self contained flat, which I am meant to live and other resources on the grounds where I could stay too. But no, I was forced to move back in with my poor mum where it would be very difficult to completely isolate myself. I was told that it was nothing personal. So I have gotten out of that relationship straighttt away, don't need that every man for themselves attitude from a potential future husband!

the enemy

We’re very lucky, my sister and I. Our parents planned well, got plenty of groceries, games, movies, liquor. They didn’t think it would be that different from our normal spring break. And while we’ve had plenty of little fun moments, we’re four days in and we’ve had more screaming fights than my four years of high school combined, my sister and I versus our parents. Now my sister and I spend most afternoons and early evenings sneaking outside her bedroom window with glasses of wine plotting a stealthy getaway, while the parental team sits in the backyard smoking and presumably doing the same. They were grateful our rebellious phase never came when we were seventeen, unfortunately it appeared four years delayed, twice as strong, and during a nationwide lockdown. Although time is moving excruciatingly slow, things are changing fast. Today my sister and I fought, she turned to me and said “I never thought we’d be quarantined long enough to see you become the enemy.”

But we all make up when we remember the real enemy of the Coronavirus.

grinding my gears

HELP ME! My wife is getting on my nerves. I'm working all day. She hears I'm on the phone and will come in the room, talking as if I'm not on the phone.
Today, she came back emptied out groceries and made coffee - GRINDING BEANS!
I am going to lose my mind. We have a one bedroom apt. Can I work out on the terrace? Can I work at the park? can I go to my office? I'll be alone. I adore her, but this is taking marriage to a whole new test.

open concept relationship

Hello,

I woke up to a call this morning that I am laid off from my job.(I’m a hairstylist) and then an hour later got in a fight with my live in boyfriend. Whom I’d just moved into his apartment on feb 1st. Either way we broke up and now are sitting awkwardly in an open concept apartment with no doors, pretending the other doesn’t exist. Happy quarantine!!

before they hatch

I froze my eggs three weeks into our relationship (planned before I met him of course!) I took him to a funeral over Christmas, right after meeting my entire family for the first time. My mother almost died- multiple times. When it came down to the end, and mom needed a liver to survive, I was her living donor and gave her half of mine.
So when I say we been through some shit, in the not even two years since we met, WE BEEN THROUGH SOME
SHIT.
Enter: Coronavirus, a worthy opponent. And this tricky little beast co-quarantining. Life and death couldn’t take us down but if my boyfriend leaves one more dirty dish randomly lying around this house...
...I see you, Coronavirus. You want us. All of us. But you ain’t taking us down.

living in a vacuum

"Hold the vacuum the other way."
"Do you wanna do it?"
"No. [pause] Why? Is your asthma acting up?"
"No. It just seems you're trying to supervise."
"Well I don't have anyone else to supervise right now, do I?"

untitled #2

Yes, I'm alone. This isn't normal????

fruity problems

9am- wake up go for a run with the boyfriend. Got in about maybe 2 miles before giving up.
11am- made a trip to the grocery store with the boyfriend. Get into a fight about red onions. People start to stare. Rush to a register and leave. On the walk home, this argument turns into one over fruity pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Fruity pebbles all day everyday.
12pm- we make up and make breakfast/lunch together and enjoy our meal.
1pm- sit down to start answering some work emails
2pm- Received a phone call that the staff is being let go.

I just want my fruity pebbles to eat my feelings away. Happy quarantining folks.

tough love

This has become a nightmare for my relationship. The basics are as follow: I live with my parents and they are older and in the dangerous age group for Covid-19. My girlfriend has 3 kids that go back and forth between her place and her ex husband's. His girlfriend and her two kids live with him and also go back and forth to their dad's house. Schools are closed, social distancing is supposed to be practiced, the world is in crisis, and she's coming and going from my home as she pleases, multiple times a day, like it doesn't apply to her. I finally said that it makes me anxious that she's potentially putting me and my parents in very real danger. She said I'm overreacting and that it's clear I don't care about her or want to make the relationship work. We've been together for two years. I feel like if she cared about me or my family then there wouldn't even be a question as to whether or not health and safety precautions should be followed.

This pandemic has given me a new perspective on what it means to honestly love and care about someone.

To me, I feel like if you love someone then you do the right thing by doing what you can to ensure their safety.

If someone is more concerned about their personal wants than the safety of those they are supposed to care about protecting, then it's not love.

Am I wrong?

i don't love him anymore so nothing

I decided I would finally leave my husband and return to the US this year. Then the pandemic hit. We are in isolation together. And while we’re here we’re getting along so well, namely bcs I don’t love him anymore so nothing he does annoys me. I feel bad bcs we are really getting each other through right now but I know at the end of summer I will leave him.

staying in(side) my feelings

Ironically, my feelings are currently the only thing that is not under isolation. So I meet someone I REALLY like, he go to London, all is good and then- whoops! there’s a lockdown. Like, really?... That’s what I get when I finally show interest in someone? I also have no clue how to express to him (over the phone) how I feel, cause I NEVER get attached. I’m praying to the gods of Corona, pleaseeee end this. As far as I know I’m COVID clean, but I’m definitely experiencing severe symptoms of lovesickness and we know for fact that they haven’t been very successful in curing that. Ughhh how are people coping with unreciprocated feelings? And this quarantine situation is not exactly making it easier to stay distracted… Fuck it, I’m going to London, flights still cheap huh?
