To those who don’t live with their DP

[fairynick]

Are you just not going to see them? Me and DP live apart atm due to circumstances I’m back at home with my mum.
I’m socially distancing, working from home and haven’t actually left the house since beginning this. I’ve just texted friends and family and it’s only my mum that I’ve seen.
I usually see DP at weekends, either he drives here or I get the train to his again because of circumstances and him working away. I won’t be getting the train because it’s completely unnecessary, is it bad if he drives up for the weekend? I don’t know how I’ll cope not seeing him, I know there’s much worse things going in the world atm but would it be really bad if he drove down this weekend? We wouldn’t leave the house.

We are driving between our house and my mum's house. I don't think there is.anything wrong with that. I don't want to move into my mum's house but do think it is important we see her regularly.

My mum is preparing for this as they live in two different towns

My sister is still visiting her boyfriends and staying over, but she drives I don’t think many people are just not going to see partners tbh.

I'm still seeing my boyfriend the same amount but we're just staying in our homes instead of going out for dinner etc. We had a chat last nights and decided if we go into lockdown he'll move in with me until it's over.

We work in the same place, he lives alone, I live with my older teen/adult dc who are observing the advice diligently.

I expect we will leave work together and go to mine together or our individual houses as we see fit. Simply because we are not, in any way, increasing anyones exposure.

Whilst my household have been self isolating we have not seen each other at all.

Me!!

I think we'll be ok unless we go into lockdown - he lives about 40mins away. I'm worried about what we'll do if that happens.

It's a new relationship (we're 4 months in) but pretty serious. I think we're solid enough to get through a period of not seeing each other but I'll miss him like hell.

I’m glad that it’s not seen as too bad if DP comes tonight. I’m really keen on being sensible throughout this and really want to protect mine and the public’s health, so it’s just really a case of decided what’s necessary to you and what isn’t I suppose.
