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

We are fine but I’m still working

Yes, it's great during lockdown. Feels like we have just started dating again! We make lots of romantic time for each other, as well as respecting the parts of the day we need our own space to work. It's been lovely.

We have a massive garden and it’s my husbands passion.
While the weather is hot I’m sunbathing and he’s gardening, with breaks when we sit with a coffee or a g&t together.
It helps that we live in SW France.

Me, but probably because we're 170 miles away from each other.

Quite happy here, enjoying time as a family this weekend without the added pressure of working from home around childcare. It’s reaffirming for me that we’re a pretty good team- hopefully DH feels the same 😂😂 I think the trick for us is making sure we both get to do something for ourselves each day- normally one of us has an early run, and the other goes in the evening.

We are getting along well, although it did take us a week or so to adapt and introduce strategies; such as mealtimes together, dog walk together, but separate for the rest of the day (as we would have been prior to lockdown ).

All fine here too. We live in a not-huge apartment with limited outdoor space, and have both been working from our home office (we’ve never had to work from the same room together before) but it hasn’t been a problem.

In general, our relationship is steady and drama-free anyway so we tend to rub along quite nicely together.

We are!

In fairness I’m working more hours than ever from home and hes still going to work as a key worker but we do just fine the rest of the time .

All good here too. We enjoy pottering about getting things done and the DC are enjoying having us both home so much

I'm an introvert and my husband's a key worker so still working. Nothing's really changed for me apart from doing the food shop and staying 2 metres away from people.

Yeah we're doing ok. Helps that I've got my workstation set up in the bedroom upstairs and he works in the kitchen so we don't see that much of each other during the week. We did Joe Wicks together on Friday morning it was fun. The dog that DH insisted we got is usually is a bit of a pain because we're busy and things need to be done for him is now a source of pleasure for both of us.

Hope it doesn't go on for months mind .

All good here too! in 7 years we've only been apart 3 nights. It's hard not being able to go out anywhere but we're loving spending this time together! Before lock down I was starting to feel like we never got time alone be careful what you wish for people!! Lol. Anyone else getting 100s or jobs done too??

No issues here . Prob helps that I’m still going out to work everyday and DH is working full time albeit from home.

We are fine! I love spending more time with dp and all the extra sex

We do miss our friends as we are pretty sociable types, but we are perfectly happy. We enjoy each other's company and always have done.

All good here (touch wood!).
Tbf DH and I have both been primarily WFH for about 2 years so we've each got our own sections of the house that we largely stick to and come together for meals. I know I'm fortunate to have that space away and not everyone does, so super grateful especially in the current climate.

We're getting on great after about 6 months of not getting on well at all.

Both now WfH, with a 3 year old and a 2 year old. It helps that we have completely separate rooms to work in, plus a playroom and separate kitchen, so we're not all on top of each other.

I must admit the first working week under lockdown was awful as DH was stubbornly refusing to follow the rota as he thought I was being too rigid...3 days in and he saw that it was the only way to keep us both sane, but it took him 2 more days to come round!

We've also managed to get loads of house jobs done this weekend, and we're going to tackle our huge overgrown garden tomorrow so the children can make use of it.

We're getting on well here, but we're always happy in each others company. Our only issue is with my lovely 19 year old and my currently very clingy dog mean we're not get much sex

We were forced to move in together for 14 days as my son developed a cough when my boyfriend stayed over with us, then the lockdown was announced so we decided he would stay.

It’s actually going really well (so far!), I know I irritate him (he tells me) as I’m bad for never shutting up, although as I get used to him being here I do improve as I feel less nervous about cocking the whole thing up. He also cleans and washes clothes, it’s like having a live in maid.

DH and I are having a lovely time. We spend a lot of time together anyway and rarely argue. We’re having lots of sexy time as well, which is extra fun!

They're bastards, converse. Absolute bastards.

We have the odd bad day but that’s usually due to illness or health hormones, we are both loners anyway but are looking forward to going further to church and local town. We are very close we both have health issues.

DH and I bicker a lot anyway so tbh I wouldn't say anything has changed, we're not bickering any more! We have a 4 year old and a 1 year old so it's a pretty stressful situation, if we're still together by the end of this I think it's a sign we'll stand the test of time.

Honestly better than I thought though I still want to kill him several times a day - us both being here constantly is hard work.

DH is an introvert so he's fine. We are discussing all the problems we have with the DCs in an adult manner.
There may be a bit of shouting when he tries to drop the pizza on the floor. I couldn't possibly comment.
