Too selfish to continue seeing dp right?

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?

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

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.

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.
