“Every single day I am more and more certain that we will be filing for divorce. I would rather be alone right now”
Photo: Charday Penn/Getty Images/iStockphoto Isolating, even with someone you both love and like, can be a challenge. Isolating with someone you used to love, and no longer do, is a whole different ball game. For live-in couples who recently decided to end things, the coronavirus pandemic and recommendation for people to stay at home have meant that many are now forced to be alone with the one person they want to see the least.
Obviously, now, it’s not that way at all. As the virus spread throughout the city and forced most people inside, we kind of started to work out our issues a bit and do a trial run of getting back together. It all happened simultaneously. I think right now we’re like, Oh, we both have each other and we’ve been in each other’s lives for so long and it’s really comfortable and easy to talk. And it’s revived some old parts of our relationship and how we initially fell in love.
“We can’t even go out for drinks to talk shit about him.” – Lisa, 37, Nebraska I’m working from home with my 16-month-old child and husband. I found out two weeks ago that my husband of six years had multiple affairs in the last year, most recently with one of my friends. Although I am heartbroken and unable to trust him emotionally, he is still in the house.
One of the hardest things right now is knowing I will not see my friends in person for a long time. The only people I trust right now have to stay six feet away and we can’t even go out for drinks to talk shit about him. That is killing me. And it’s only just begun. Still, amid the chaos that is the world around us right now, and having a toddler that seems to have a changing attitude every two minutes, knowing that my husband is there in some capacity is better than not right now.
It’s not been too awful at the moment, because we’re used to spending a lot of time together, we know our boundaries, and we still care for each other. I wouldn’t want to be in this situation with someone else. I think the difficulty will come later on, because obviously this is reinforcing the cohabitation and dependence on each other. I’m worried how much more difficult it will be when we actually have to do the physical separation. A lot of it’s been constantly reassuring our families.
