Am I being ridiculous here ?
I have been with DP 18 months. He was on the shielding list last lockdown but is now my support bubble. I live apart from him with my DC who obviously attends school but is Asperger's like me and was social distancing before it was a thing. She does however visit dad who is less rules focussed than I. DP lives alone and works from home. I am a nurse, had covid in March before we got PPE.
We stayed apart other than garden visits until shielders were allowed bubbles in July. We are both tier 1.
I stayed with him yesterday as normal but he has decided it is too dangerous to continue and he can't see me til numbers go down to August level or until I can stop going to work... I have made it clear that I don't agree but can't see any middle ground.
I don't want to break up but if he really doesn't want the relationship to fail either as he says, I don't know if it is reasonable but have kindof suggested it shows difference in outlook due to differing experience, and I need to work through whether that is too much of a difference between us. I appreciate that many people are in jobs where they end up apart but normally that is known and or discussed.
Is anyone else in a similar place and able to offer support?
