How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
My SO and I live about 45 mins apart. I have children, including one with special needs who has a compromised immune system. I’ve been diligently social distancing all of us, and for the past week have been isolating with my children. He doesn’t “believe” in social distancing and broke up with me because I refused to go visit him. I’m not even mad. Just relieved he revealed this incredible level of selfishness now, before I got more invested.How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
My husband and I have been married for over 30 years. We are still very much in love and are best friends. My heart still skips a beat when he smiles at me. He is the finest man I have ever met. I hope we don't kill each other.How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
I had just married my Ethiopian husband in Ethiopia less than two months ago while serving for Peace Corps. It was such a nice yet short time living with him and his family. Then for the first time in history Peace Corps suspended all it's overseas operations and forced us to come back to the US at once. I miss my husband so much and I don't know when I can see him again.How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
I'm a Cancer patient. We don't live together. We talk twice every day and when he comes to see me it's outside, 6-7 feet apart. We greet each other by tapping the tips of our shoes together. It's hard, I miss his touch. I hope we can make it through this. For now I'm his "Bubble Girl."How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
My husband is the assistant supply chain director at a major hospital in our city. The director position has been empty since the beginning of the year (New director arriving sometime in April, we hope.), so my hubby is having to cover most of the director's job as well. Obviously, this isn't the type of job that can be done from home, and he is extremely busy right now. I'm trying to home school three boys, who are stuck inside for the most part. As you can imagine, we are both stressed. Once upon a time, during a period of unemployment, one of our friends gave us this sage advice, "This situation is going to pull at you, whether it pulls you apart or pulls you together is up to you." So now we're setting aside a bit of time every couple days to cuddle, only cuddle. Just to center ourselves with each other without anything else. It may be as small as 10 minutes, but we have a tiny amount of time just for us. We're determined to make this pull us together.How Has The Quarantine Affected Your Relationship With Your Significant Other?
Since we live over 1000km (600 miles) apart, the quarantine definitely had a negative impact on us. Seeing each other is already a rare occasion and the current world situation filled our plans with a lot of uncertainty. We hope that the borders open soon so we could see each (fingers crossed for summer). Unfortunately, the plans to celebrate our anniversary in April are out of the window. On the other hand, it makes you think how fortunate we are to have access to technology that allows us to chat and see each other at least through video calls. No need to rely on carrier pigeons!
