Not speaking to friend because she saw boyfriend.

[FeistyOne]

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

Hope its worth losing a friendship over. Get a grip.

This is a reverse.

I think it’s a bit extreme to sack her off as a mate. If she’d directly affected you, then sure. But she hasn’t

Fly how is any of that outing?

You are allowed to go on walks with someone from another household?

I just can’t understand how people have reduced themselves to this. Attacking their friends, judging them, being insulting.

Op have a look at what you’ve become. Apologise to your friend. One day you’ll look back at your behaviour and feel shame.

Or I hope you will.

Thank god we have people like you keeping people in check

If my sister in law, partners family or my close friends see it and see my past posts thought it may be obvious who I am.

Jesus what an awful 'friend' you are. She is well rid of you.

None of your bloody business is it? What a thing to fall out over. This virus has bought out the absolute worst in people.

The StaSi would have loved you.

Well done OP! What an awful friend you are. You win!

Stop being bloody ridiculous.

Your 'friend' has dodged a bullet I say.

😂😂😂 this is clearly a joke, if not just wow lol

Why are you describing yourself as a 'friend' when you are obviously nothing of the sort?

I have been seeing my long-term non-resident partner at either my house or his every day since the lockdown was announced, OP. We are both low risk and aren't in contact with anyone else. My mental health and job are both shot by lockdown, and there's no way I'm not seeing him on top of everything else. If any of my "friends" ditched me because of this, I would think it a blessing.

The thing is, this was only originally supposed to be for 3 weeks. A lot of people would have considered different living arrangements if it had been clear from the beginning it would be 3 months. I also find it ridiculous that builders, garden centres, etc can open yet people can’t see their long term partners. I think people can do their own risk assessment and decide what they think is reasonable.

Glad you’re not my friend 🤷🏻‍♀️.
You live with your partner. Imagine being told 9 weeks ago that you wouldn’t be able to see your partner for ‘at least’ 3 weeks. That 3 weeks became 6 weeks, then 9. And you still have no idea when you will be able to have your partner in your house or visit theirs. How would that feel?

Probably good news for her if you don't want to be friends, honestly imagine getting worked up about this.

They probably shouldn't be doing it, but since some cunt told us that he drove to a picturesque castle because he needed to see if his eyesight was okay and not for a trip out with his wife for her birthday, I think all bets are off. I'm not breaking any rules but if people do, well the government has basically said we can all follow our instincts and if your friend's instincts are to be with her boyfriend then I say fair play to her.

Wow you are unbelievable and a rubbish mate . Whatever Happened to supporting each other in what is a shit time . That poor friend of yours is probably falling apart not seeing her other half . She needs to get rid of you clearly

So you sent her a diggy little fishing message?
She's not seen him for months. Leave her alone.

What is the actual difference between a couple who live together seeing one another and a couple who live alone, but apart? Why shouldn’t she see him? I’m amazed at couples who have lasted this long without seeing one another.

My dsis has gone to see her bf this weekend - she hasn’t seen him since March. She’s a nurse and they’ve decided there’s no point waiting any longer - if she was going to catch it she probably would have by now and realistically how long are you going to wait? Until there’s a vaccine? Until there are 0 cases in the UK?(but people are flying into the country every day and not being tested so will that ever happen?) where does it end and people can begin living again?

I've name changed as it's so outing. I've started meeting up with my bf, who I've been with for 5 years but don't live with (we have our own homes, separate kids, and it just works for us). We have been for some lovely walks and today he had a cup of tea in my garden (OMG). His brother who had terminal cancer died around 2 weeks ago and he's just a little bit upset so I thought fuck what the neighbours think (or my friends who may see us walking together).

Sorry to hear about your BF brother. I hope you could ease his grief. I would not judge you at all

@FeistyOne

Yes but me and my partner live together

So basically, your situation is good for you and works well, and your happy so people should stick to the rules.. I wonder if you were single what you would do.

You aren't her friend, she's well rid.
We don't have to agree with our friends all the time.
It's good to have different opinions.

notalwaysalondoner I agree with you. Many people if they had known then what they know now might well have made different decisions about where to base themselves.
