Just having a moan really... I don’t live with my partner, but due to working at home, the only people he has seen in the last 3 weeks is me and my children, so if I did see him, minimum risk. However, we won’t see each other because we feel it’s the right thing to do, it’s not essential travel, we’re law abiding and sensible and have accepted the guidelines that we can’t now see each other till god knows when. Him moving in here temporarily isn’t a go-er as he needs to work from home, lots of video calling etc and I have a noisy household with kids.
But! I’m so surprised at the number of people who are flouting this! And am so surprised by people’s reactions when I say I’m not seeing him (half hour drive away involving motorway, even if I did want to flout it I’d worry I’d get stopped!). They’ve said they’d just go anyway when kids at their dads. Some agree that I’m doing the right thing, but not all.
Am I missing something here?! Apologies if this has been covered already - been trying to focus on kids and school work and not disappear down a Mumsnet hole!!!
One more gripe - he’s a real pragmatic matter of fact man. No element of seeming bothered by not seeing each other as ‘we can’t change it, sooner we all stick to it sooner life will return’. Would just be nice if he said ‘miss you!’
