New ideas for fun

[Myfuckingfreezer]

My relationship is really feeling the pressures of lockdown (like many) and between stressful jobs wfh, childcare, and an inability to see each other often, we are trying to find new ways of interacting to remove some of the stress.

So today for example, we are sending pictures to each other whenever we see something to interest the other or that makes us think of the other. No words needed which has massively reduced the pressure we felt to reply and find time for chunks of interaction.

It's also been good fun to do something different and has helped us just enjoy interacting rather than seeing it as something on a to do list. Does anyone have any ideas for other things, or anything that works for you?

Anyone? Hopeful bump so I don't have to start a thread soon about being heartbroken

Sorry OP I did read it but I was struggling to think of fun lock down stuff other than watching movies/TV together snuggled up on the couch

We do jigsaws and listen to podcasts
Also been cooking together more using gousto boxes which is fun

Sorry - we're not physcially able to meet more than once a week :( and that's mainly outside for a walk to be as safe as we can be. We're both just so time poor I'm trying to thing of fun ways to stop it being like we have the schedule time in to talk.

So far we have thought of:
the pictures
you can listen the spotify together and control songs, so we can do that while working
some sort of fun Q&A
A message of the day eg what do you love about the other person, or what's your favourite memory of us

Giving another hopeful bump for the evening crowd!

This is a lovely idea! I can’t think of anything but I’ll definitely be borrowing any good ideas.

We text each other meaningful song titles but only the initials so the other has to guess. Example: IJCTSILY (I just called to say I love you) You don’t have to be quite that sloppy, whatever works for you 😂
