Relationships not cracking under lockdown

[Crackerscheesescabbyknees]

Who's getting on with their other half during lockdown?

Just to see some positive stories that don't make us all look like Carole Baskin in training

Me! We're both naturally introverts and didn't have much social life to lose (sadly). But we get on fine in close quarters
I'm so thankful.

All fine here.

I am absolutely loving it tbh.

We're doing pretty well on the whole, although it got a bit rocky last week, I was getting well pissed off with the teleconferences going 12-14 hours, listening to the same bitching and moaning session four times in a row. And feeling like everything I did was being taken for granted, not appreciated.

We are having a lovely lazy Easter weekend, and I'm leaving the cooking to him, and he's also assiduously taken over the washing and ironing. I didn't say much, but apparently it was enough. . .

Very chilled and relaxed here. We're spending lots of time in the sunshine enjoying the garden. :)

We are fine. Dh and I do run our business together , so are used to being with each other a lot. Also both Dc have left home so maybe that helps too!

I am too. We're very much enjoying each other's company and we prefer this to being around other people!

All fine here too, however this is entirely down to the fact that we have a living room each and a garden. We’d be driving each other mental if we didn’t.

We are fine, it's nice to spend the time together. Part of me feels guilty saying that, given how many threads there are where women are going through absolute shit.

All good here - both teachers so used to not seeing much of each other term time (might be in same room but one of use is usually working) But we are used to 2 weeks at a time or 6 weeks at a time all together as a family. We don't have lots of disposable cash anyway so we're used to thinking up cheap things to do at home.

Ours was an enforced move in as decided to do lockdown together, would have waited 6 months or so otherwise. Loving it! We laugh all the time, can tell each other when we are being a dick, do our own thing as I do like a fair amount of alone time and actually always want to go to bed at the same time and eat together. Also I HATE washing up and he HATES drying up (weirdo) which is excellent.

vettiyalruken I too feel awful that some women are having a terrible time. What is wrong with their partners?!

We are not in lockdown together, not been with each other long. The relationship has gone from "I miss you so much and I love you and I miss you" to "today i did a massive shit and that's the only interesting thing that's happened since we last spoke" in the space of 3 weeks...

We are doing ok, we both work from home usually anyway so he's not annoying me any more than normal.

We're doing pretty well. Had huge arguments when we first moved in / married about 5 years ago. Got a lot of issues out of the way eventually. So now we're a pretty functional team. Not perfect. Sometimes argue still. Just for a minute But definitely doing a lot better than some.

All good here! Actually really enjoying having DH wfh while I'm on mat leave. We are homebodies though so it's not really been much of a strain.

Us! We're doing really well. Enjoying our time together. The kids are having their moments but as a couple were doing well 😊

All good here. DH and I are getting on well and the kids aren't fighting too much!

We are. We have had a pretty shit year but are seeing the positives of this. We are probably homebodies and are very fortunate that our jobs haven't really been affected. We've been together 25 years so know each other pretty well.

Yasss. Loving seeing the positivity.
@Tonemeth hahaha excellent. It will certainly bring you closer.

We have a little baba and DP is working alot less so it's nice having him home more.

I'm not in lockdown with my bf as I work in a hospital. I miss him terribly, but he drove by this eve after his food shop to drop me off an easter egg. It was an unexpected surprise. Just a pity I couldn't give him a big smooch to say thanks.

Yep. DH and I are talking more, getting nostalgic, supporting each other when we (well, me) have a wobble about missing the kids and parents and the result has been us emotionally and physically reconnecting. Tomorrow we are planning on having a steak dinner, eating our eggs and a bit of afternoon delight 😁☺️

@BackseatCookers oh I'm with him. The sensation and sound of a tea towel on a dish makes my very insides fold up

Absolutely fine here. In fact, we're loving it. It's stressful with no escape from the kids but we know how to help each other out and parent together effectively. We each take turns to have days where we do our things (him building in the garden, me painting etc) and come together for meal times and a bit of homeschooling.

I'm going to miss him when he goes back to work (I work from home).
