Can’t see my partner for 4 weeks

[Littlebeachhut]

Been seeing someone for 6 months I’m currently back living with my parents for the next month until my house is ready. Boyfriend lives with a flat mate in his own home, had been seeing each other few times a week but with the new rules we won’t be able to. I can’t move in with him and I live to far from his work for him to be able to live with me. I’ve got no work to go to and currently stuck out in the middle of nowhere with my parents I got so depressed during the last lock down with nothing to do and I’m staying at his tomorrow for the last time for 4 weeks I’m due on and so hormonal all I’ve done it cry over not being able to see him. Tell me to get a grip it’s so hard I feel trapped in my room at my mums my illness is also getting worse I’m giving myself anxiety about seeing him tomorrow as the dread of it being the last time he assumed his job would shut down like it did last time so all month has been saying if we had another lock down he would come stay with me guess I’m just disappointed and worried that my depression will come back as it was really under control and I was in a good place

I am doing what I have to do thanks.
I just get pissed off with people that have families being dismissive of those that have no other close human contact.
There should have been provision made.
I live right next to 2 schools. How much social distancing do you thing I see there?
Like fuck I'm watching kids hugging and pissing about when I'm so lonely it almost physically hurts.

Those who have familes are not being dismissive - we may have them but we cant see them !! My son and his partner now have no income as they are both in the gym industry and have been self employed less than 3 years so no help -- they have a 12 week old baby and my son has has had his driving test cancelled for the 3rd time - but can I /will I go over to comfort them or can I support them - no !! I can ring and Face Time and send food via online shopping, but I can do no more than that. Its tough but we are all in the same boat, I will miss them like my right arm has been chopped off, they only moved out of mine just before the baby was born and its like a morgue at home ....................but we cant break the rules or we will never be out of this awful mess. And I agree with a previous comment - since when has cold weather stopped anyone meeting outside ? Does nobody have a coat any more ? We just have to grit our teeth, all of us and we will be out of this, but if we dont then the repercussions are massive.

@Littlebeachhut
Yes I have experienced mental health issues, my Mum also experienced loneliness after my Dad died so I know what its all about. But this is a far bigger issue and isnt going away on its own - we are all in the same boat in that we cant see anyone outside our own household but it isnt forever !!!!!!! Bending or breaking the rules isnt the answer and the longer it goes on, the more mental health issues there will be.

@Littlebeachhut

Pinkielove Clearly you’ve never experienced mental health and abandonments issues along with anxiety about being alone

But you're not on your own, you're with your parents.

And you could meet up with him outdoors, wrap up warm and spend some time together. No it's not ideal, yes it's upsetting, but there are ways you can make it more tolerable. And it's a bit worrying that you're so dependent on a boyfriend of six months that you think you'll crack up without him.

Just see him!

Well, if the lockdown gets extended it will be because of the people who claim that nobody should be following the rules any more.

So bye bye Christmas, and for many people bye bye an income when they lose their jobs. But so long as some manage to get a shag eh?

Honestly, this is a six month relationship, the idea of moving in with someone you bearly know is ludicrous, and while this usually irritates me when people say it he’s not your partner, he’s a bloke you’ve been seeing for a few months.

People need to stop overplaying the mental health card. Yes, for some people it’s tough, but everyone is going through the same.

I didn’t see my partner from March to July the last time, and we’ve been together for 7.5 years. I now haven’t seen him since October when the town he lives in went into tier3 and I won’t be seeing him for the foreseeable. Because if I catch COVID I likely won’t survive (my consultant’s opinion not mine,)

You realise there is a very real chance of catching Covid at some point in the future regardless of whether or not you see your OH now...

Just see him ... you're clearly not happy with any other suggestion

I’m not going to see him as it breaks the rules but I’m just moaning about the fact I can’t that’s all
