Not speaking to friend because she saw boyfriend.

A bit peed off with my friend. Her and her boyfriend live seperately but the past week have been visiting each other's houses and going on walks.
I think this is a bit hypocritical since from March until now she has been moaning that people need to follow lockdown so life can go back to normal.
I messaged her saying cant believe people are breaking lockdown and using cummings as an excuse and she said that the past week she has been going on walks and seeing him because she hasnt seen him for 3 months and couldnt cope any longer.

I think it's selfish. They live 20 minutes away from each other and risking things just because they miss each other

@DHMB20 the OP flounced before you did!

@understandmenow it means nothing.

I actually stopped drinking myself numb the day I met up with him.
Like I said. Coping mechanisms Grin

A lovely big bunch of Flowers for anyone that is struggling with being apart from their partners during this time.

@MrMeeseekscando ignore @DHMB20; she lacks any understanding. I hope things continue to improve. I doubt anyone would miss @DHMB20, which is why she can't understand the need to be with someone you love. Thanks

People who live apart have been utterly screwed in this lockdown. I have a fair few single friends (no children) and we were on a video group call. After a few Vinos, my best friend erupted and asked how it was even fair that children were allowed to move between homes. Back and forth. But single people weren’t allowed to see a FWB/ on / off boyfriend / partner etc? She said once again society was punishing people who didn’t have children / single people. Because in reality there is no difference to people moving children and a person seeing another person.

I thought about it and thought she’s right actually. Why should my children be allowed to move between my exh and I? And people not allowed to see their pArtners?
