to think that corona virus might kill my new relationship?

I'm a bit paranoid at moment. When the guy I'm seeing went quiet, I thought the worst. Posted on here and was advised to block him because he's ignoring me. He had actually had a death in the family and didn't want to talk. I understand entirely. I met up with him and it was lovely, but had to take my toddler with me. It was fine, but I haven't told him I'm still breastfeeding, feel like it'll put him off big time, and ended up leaving early as my son was pulling at my top. Felt really low and not sure how to mention this to him.

Had I have been allowed to, I would've just left my son with my mum and wouldn't have had to think about it. We were talking about having a few drinks in the park, but again, toddler will be with me. Again, can't leave him with my mum.

I can't give him a hug or kiss him like I want to. All feels very odd. I really like him, and think he likes me, but I feel like corona virus is making it so difficult and tedious.

Anyone else feeling similar? How do I make things more manageable and fun?

How old is your toddler , how old does the toddler look and how often does he feed? Could you stall with water or food for the toddler instead of milk? Could you go out at a time they don’t normally want fed? How long do you plan to continue breastfeeding? Does he get expressed milk whilst you were at work (pre lockdown)? I’m not judging (also currently breastfeeding/combi feeder), just think it’s hard to advise on that part re whether you just tell him or not without more detail.

If this could break up your new relationship, I doubt it would have gone far anyway. If it doesn't break it up, he may well be a good one to keep Grin
