Too selfish to continue seeing dp right?

[bubblesandglitter]

Both dp and I are classed as key workers (he works in a supermarket and I'm a teacher) so will be continuing to go to work throughout the lockdown. We've been together a year but don't live together and so obviously we should be not seeing eachother in order to uphold the social distancing.
I'm feeling really sad about this though, I live alone and so other than the couple of days a week I'll be going into school I won't have any human interactions.
Is there anyway around this or am I just being terribly selfish?

As both key workers we'll both by at higher risk anyway so will it make a huge difference

If you are able to see each other without either of you seeing anyone else at all, then I think that’s no different from a couple that lives together?

Could you move in tigether for a bit?

Move in together. We're in for a rough time, take that company and human contact.

without either of you seeing anyone else at all

But they're both seeing loads of other people at work. Seeing each other is massively widening their circle of exposure - sort of doubling it, surely?

I don't live with my DP either, and I have posted on another similar thread; I know it's really hard. I hate it and miss him. But it seems crazy to pretend that contact with him would be somehow OK just because we're a couple. I wish it could be that way but it just isn't.

Exactly as 64sNewName just said.

Sorry, I meant friends and family. If they are both seeing only work people and each other, then that’s the same number of contacts that they would have if they lived together.
