More aimed at couples who neither are key workers and both at home together!

We’re the same really. I thought he was great pre-lockdown and I still think the same after spending weeks in lockdown with him.

He’s working from home in the spare room. I am always pleased to see him when he comes out for a coffee or a chat or whatever.

Stronger.
We have had a couple of arguments in the 6 weeks we have been at home together. The rest of the time has been great. I thought I’d hate having him around 24/7 as I’m someone who needs my own space a lot. It’s made me realise how much I enjoy his company though

Weaker. Didn’t get any help. In fact I have learned that both myself and children are at the bottom of his priorities. He calls daily to check on his friends and family and pretends to be caring and concerned to satisfy his ego.

Stronger. We both can be quite driven and default to doing out own thing in normal times. While this has been super stressful, lockdown has meant we had to spend some time with just the two of us and it's been really nice to rediscover how much we get on and how much I really like him. I know, it's vomit worthy. Wink

After the first couple of weeks of getting used to him being here all the time and working on splitting chores and not annoying each other when on work calls etc definitely stronger than before.
Normally he works 12-14 hour days 7 days a week and although there’s now less money coming in, it’s soooo nice to not have him falling asleep on the sofa as soon as he’s eaten dinner every night and actually getting to spend some time together
