Seriously though, I hope you two can maybe go back to the way things were in happier times. Is that the plan? Or are you so disillusioned now that you’re thinking of just moving on?

We're fine... we aren't going to break up. We'll definitely resume our day trips and travels once this pandemic is over or they have a vaccine. We just figured out that we shouldn't live together, which is fine. We are both "too set in our ways", especially me. 1
amaysngrace Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 My guy came by yesterday for first time since Saturday when my daughter found out she’s covid. I was just finishing up mowing and weed-whacking my dustbowl yard. He didn’t seem to mind though. He still gave me a hug and a kiss which he says was the whole purpose of him stopping by 1
bubbletea Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) We are both working regularly outside the home, so nothing has changed. I wish we could stay home and have some time off together but we need the money anyway. We are lucky in that case. Although his work doesn’t allow overtime during Covid so our income has been less. Mine allows overtime but I only care to do an extra shift about once a week if that. Edited May 22, 2020 by bubbletea
Happy Lemming Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 The countdown continues... 9 days until girlfriend goes home to her apartment. I found some "Wild Rice" rice-a-roni in the back of my pantry. This is one of her favorite side dishes, so I packed it in a box along with some other dry goods for her to take with her.
Happy Lemming Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 The countdown continues... 8 days left. My girlfriend told me she is worried about getting lonely and bored in her small apartment. I told her she can still e-mail and call me and that she'll be fine. I think she was hinting for me to change my mind and ask her to stay past June 1st... 1 1

FMW Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 The guy I had been seeing for a few months prior to the lockdown (and had been friends with for 6 months prior to the switch to "dating") and I only had contact by phone/text for 8 weeks. He spent a lot of that time fishing in remote areas. As of last weekend it seems we're back to seeing each other in person every weekend (the weekdays are too busy for me right now with work). His late wife died 18 months ago so between that and my own need to overcome resistance to being vulnerable enough for a real relationship again, I don't know where things will go. Of course no one ever does. The lockdown may actually be improving our chances of making things work since there are fewer distractions. The isolation has given us both a lot of time to think.
Happy Lemming Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 7 days left... I'm going to make it, I see the light at the end of the tunnel, it isn't that far off. Come on June 1st.
Happy Lemming Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 6 days left... I've been catching myself staring at the calendar and re-counting each day. 1
Ruby Slippers Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 It was a rocky weekend, but he approached me this morning to apologize, to actually say the words "I'm sorry." Wow! That's big progress.
Happy Lemming Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 5 days left... I find myself hiding in my home office more and more, while girlfriend spends time in the living room watching TV. The less time we are in the same room, the better.

It's good that we found out we can't live together, at least we now know (before the pain and expense of moving in together, as was planned in the Fall). Our relationship is still good, we're both just too "set in our ways" to live under the same roof. It's all good. 2
amaysngrace Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 We’re having our first sleepover tomorrow at his place! 4
Happy Lemming Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 Last day.... in approximately 24 hours, I"ll be loading my girlfriend's car up with supplies, clean laundry, etc. and sending her home.

Theres probably a lot of relief, but also maybe some bittersweet feelings mixed in today, Happy. You’ve been really kind to your girlfriend. She’s lucky she has you. So many well wishes to you both!

Author Woggle Posted June 1, 2020 Author Posted June 1, 2020 Our relationship is doing great. We survived a hurricane, a pandemic and riots happening not too far from us together so we are rock solid. When everything returns to normal and we can go out and live again I am taking her on the best vacation I can possibly give her. This Sting song If I every lose my faith describes how I feel towards her. I might live in a world where everything is falling apart but I am thankful everyday to share my life with somebody so rock solid and true. 2
