Missing OH in lockdown

I know there are far more important things going on, but I'm really missing my partner during this lockdown. He lives 40 minutes away so not able to see him.
Just wanted to send hugs to everyone else in the same situation and just think of when we are finally back together, lots and lots of catching up to do xx

I'm looking forward to the sex.

I hear you. I miss my oh too. We live 5 mins apart but I work in a hospital and he is shopping for his elderly parents and looking out for them.. We couldn't isolate together as I'm too high risk.

This will pass, I hold onto that. X

I really feel for everyone who doesn't live with their partner. It's a time when people naturally want support and solace.

I've seen some appallingly dismissive comments on here from people who no doubt live with their partners. Exhorting people to 'stop driving around for a shag' (not that anyone was doing that) and such like. There are some really snooty people on here who clearly see non-live in partners as inferior.

I'm tempted believe me lol!! But in the great scheme of things it'll be over soon enough and I'm just focusing on making up for lost time x

Well I can be quite dismissive, but that's cos I'm from the suck it up buttercup school of thought (for myself as much if not more than others!) because there's nothing to be done about it and I find allowing myself the time to dwell on it makes me miserable. Giving myself a boot up the arse is better for my MH. We deal and that's all.

But really looking forward to the sex .

I'm missing my DP too and look forward to being re united. Only consolation is think of all the poor people stuck with partners who are unhappy it must be very difficult for them at least we've something to look forward to

Another one here too. We speak on the phone every day, which helps - and I flashed him my boobs when he facetimed me yesterday morning, that seemed to perk him up a bit!
Missing the sense of normality, but trying to bury the thoughts and just keep busy.
Can imagine everyone taking time off to 'catch up' with their partners when we are back to being able to actually touch each other!

@FuckThisWind we are sexting! Sending naughty pics and videos too. Doesn't quite beat being together but for now it'll have to do. Also speaking at least once a day x
