Breaking the lockdown rules

Me and my boyfriend live separately. We miss each other and this not seeing each other is driving us crazy. We don’t want to move In Together just yet. He wants to carry on the relationship as normal by coming to stay at mine but I’m sceptical because he is still going out to work. I work from home so have minimal contact with the world but he’s a risk as he works. Are we being silly to visit each other as normal?

He must be one amazing shag to be worth risking dying for

Literally dying for a shag......

Not worth it OP.

This is a piss take isn't it?

Mascotte · 03/04/2020 20:07

Can you move in together temporarily?

Mascotte · 03/04/2020 20:10

In New Zealand they have some sort of buddy scheme for single people in lockdown by the way.

Are you really not getting the message everyone working in the NHS is giving you? Stay. At. Home. The ITU nurse in our family hasn’t seen her partner for weeks and has no idea when she’ll see him again. If she can deal with it, you definitely can.

sallyedmondson · 03/04/2020 20:13

you are beyond belief. Either selfish or incredibly stupid.

sidesplittinglol · 03/04/2020 20:13

What difference does it make if he visits or stays? It's still a risk either way. You're not exempt from the rules. No one should be visiting you. Everyone misses someone they love. The rules are there for a reason - to protect and keep everyone safe. If you'd rather be in a coffin then carry on. If you value your life as well as others then this needs to stop now.

ilovecakeandwine · 03/04/2020 20:14

Can you not move in together while on lockdown? If no then Face time him till can meet up .

Thedogscollar · 03/04/2020 20:15

Are you bored and on a wind up OP?
If not then you are incredibly selfish. Everyone in the bloody world wants to see family and friends they can't see right now. Get a bloody grip you sound pathetic.

Samtsirch · 03/04/2020 20:15

I thought this was a joke when I read it. It’s beyond silly you are risking your lives.
Try to remember that this will be over one day, you want to be around to enjoy that.

NotNegan · 03/04/2020 20:15

Crack on.

But, I'm allowed to go and have a cuppa with my mum because she's lonely, right?

TotesGodsWill · 03/04/2020 20:16

FFS

The rules apply to everyone including you.

It’s literally a matter of life and death. Maybe not yours but someone else who is infected as a result of your selfishness.

Get a fucking grip and stick to the rules.

We’ll all be in lockdown far longer with idiots who think they’re exempt from the rules continuing to spread the virus

TriangleBingoBongo · 03/04/2020 20:18

I am so sick, so tired of lockdown.

I’m an outdoorsy person. I run long distance and am chosing between that and giving my son a walk for a fresh air break.

*We’re all fed up OP. But not all of us are arseholes who are gong to make it worse for everyone else

Stay the FUCK at home.*

nocoolnamesleft · 03/04/2020 20:19

A guy being that selfish would be a deal breaker for me.

Whenwillthisbeover · 03/04/2020 20:20

DD NHS frontline in the north, so far she has just had easy days as no regular patients. Today she came home and said “mum, shit got real”

Her words would be “at what point will you fucking get this? STAY HOME”

twinkle2306 · 03/04/2020 20:22

No that's hugely irresponsible! You'll have to wait like everyone else

3rdNamechange · 03/04/2020 20:23

Yes. Grow up. My partner lives abroad , don't know when I'll see him again.

RedPanda2 · 03/04/2020 20:23

I hope you didn't clap for the NHS because you're boyfriend clearly doesn't give a shit about it. Or you

celan · 03/04/2020 20:27

OP, I don't live with my partner (very long term, and no plans to live together so long as my children are living at home).

I am still seeing him. There is more risk of me being run over by an empty bus than there is of either of us catching CV.

Whenwillthisbeover · 03/04/2020 20:29

My personal thought is that situations like this will bring in there army and forms to justify why you are on the street, and when that happens your DP will be to blame.

Mascotte · 03/04/2020 20:30

@celan I tend to agree and I don’t see how there’s more risk than if you lived together

Mascotte · 03/04/2020 20:30

But now I’m scared I’ve said that as will be lynched

SuckingDieselFella · 03/04/2020 20:32

It's fine.

The rules don't apply to you and it's not as if this virus spreads easily.

Wheresthebeach · 03/04/2020 20:33

As long as people continue to ignore the rules then this will last longer, and more people will get sick.

Why the fuck is this so hard to people to understand.
