Oh bore off love.

Ginfordinner · 11/06/2020 08:28

So, the rules are different for people who want OLD then?
When did Boris say this was OK?

Louise000000 · 11/06/2020 09:43

Maybe the op used one of those plastic sheets hung up on the washing line with a hole in the middle? Just saying... There's ways round the rules!!

Bluesheep8 · 11/06/2020 10:28

Sorry to be the one to say it but you broke lockdown rules and risked your own and other people's health. Assuming you're in the UK of course.Hmm

Bluesheep8 · 11/06/2020 10:29

Oops, didn't read to the end. Not the first one to say it then Blush hope it was worth it.

I’m with you @Makemedoit

The majority of us are following the rules, it’s very frustrating when some don’t.

OP, if you had sex because you assigned meaning to the relationship that made sex an option for you, or because he implied more importance to the relationship, that's one thing.

But if you simply had sex (hopefully enjoyable) that you wanted, but the relationship didn't work out afterwards, all you had was sex. There's no issue with that.

You can't predicate sex on the grounds of what your future relationship will be, otherwise all divorcees would have to retrospectively highly regretful.

If I broke up with my husband tomorrow, I wouldn't regret any time I'd shagged him (maybe other things!).

You texted to apologise for your drunken behaviour?!

What did you do??

Cause is it possible that it was your drunkenness rather than the sex?! 🤣

I can't believe people are jealous because another person broke lockdown guidelines, it's hilarious! They shouldn't have met up but they did, they slept together, it's done, over. If either gives the other coronavirus they will regret it but hopefully recover and move on. No point in being resentful, it achieves nothing.

In any case it was only last week and we are now allowed to meet up with some people.

  1. I am not jealous, I am angry.
  1. You are presuming she lives in England, rules are tighter elsewhere in the UK.
  1. Breaking the rules puts us all at risk.

It's a bit of a stretch to assume thst we are all gagging for a ONS Lynda07 Hmm

Most of us have put our lives on hold and haven't seen family members because of the current situation. But hey, let's just ignore the guidelines and do what we want because we don't care if we are putting others at risk Hmm

borntohula · 11/06/2020 11:15

I can't believe some of you aren't having sex with your partners. Poor things.

vixxo · 11/06/2020 11:26

WTF do not text him! That's just embarrassing. Just leave it.

Lynda07 · 11/06/2020 11:44

CormoranStrike, being angry is not going to solve anything, in particulari it is not going to undo something that has been done. People slip up, they are human beings.

It’s not a mistake to hook up with someone, it’s a choice.

I’ve nothing against hook-ups in normal times at all, but when I think of all the NHS key workers who have moved out of their homes and haven’t seen their kids in month, the fact I haven’t hugged my mum who is in her 80s for months, I think it is okay to be annoyed at the sections of society who are choosing to not follow the rules.

One of my loved ones had to hold the hand of a dying person last week as her own family couldn’t visit. It’s heartbreaking.

OP, sorry for derailing your thread into a wider rant. I know we are all making our own choices at these times of lockdown. Re the fella, I wouldn’t text him, if he is a ghost then leave him to it.
