Mate, you can take my Mrs to Florida if you like? All paid for. You’ll get the Disney dining plan and we’ve even booked in to the ‘Coronavirus Party’, where Mickey and Minnie will come in and do tests on you dressed as doctors. If you really want to up your chances of catching it, we’ve got tickets for all the water parks and a basketball game too. PM your deets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A short 8 years ago I posted in here about meeting a girl on eHarmony. She was a model/stripper. I'm sure some of you remember the early days. Well, we're still married, have a 5 year old, a house and mortgage and she's now a gardener and volunteers at his school doing a gardening club. Happy and very much in love (even if we do drive each other mad). Pics from 8 years ago or GTFO. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been with my wife in one capacity or another for a ridiculous number of years. I have been with her longer than without her, despite my attempts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leighavfc Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Anyone else literally had enough of spending so much time with their partners inside 4 walls yet? F**k me i think im going take all my stuff to work and live there from tomorrow onwards! The machines buzzing and whirring all day are 10 fold much easier to listen to and be around!

Gotta have a straight and honest conversation. It’s a different part of your life and you probably work differently. Day 1 we had the chat and it was clearly going to be the case we work very differently so we WFH in different rooms. Don’t see each other for hours. Works for us, anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive proved to myself i can do it too which ive never believed in. Its been tough and ive had no support, no recognition nothing from her indoors.. and even when i have said oh its been x amount todays today i just get some half arsed answer whilst she is watching some brain dead reality tv boll*cks on the tv. Spending more time with her like i have had too past 3 weeks is absolutely driving me mental. Im not allowed to have feelings etc im a bloke.... Ive been with her just over 10 years now and tbh if things carry on the way they are then im gone as soon as this virus lockdown etc is over. I dont want to go but i have the same issues with her that ive had for years, she never listens to and adjusts just the same old bull which is all my fault apparently. Sorry for the rant!

Stevo985 Posted March 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31, 2020 I’m furloughed from tomorrow and the other half definitely won’t be (works for a supermarket) so we’ve already realised we’ll drive each other mental if we’re in the same room. She’ll be working from the bedroom which we’ll set up as a little office. I’ll be doing absolutely nothing for a month in the lounge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Ah you’re starting from a different base point from where I started WFH last week, and I’m sorry for you on that. I think there will be an awful lot of people in your position. Without commenting on you and yours, as I know no background, if it does put relationships in focus for a few people that could well end up being a good thing. We’re not here very long and then we’re dead for quite a while. So best try your best to enjoy the experience AND not contribute to other people’s lives being stifled. That is not a recommendation to leave! That’s a big nebulous ‘be happy’. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Different rooms for us, say hello at lunch etc but yeah keep the space. 2 weeks in and it's been nice and fun. More time to prep cooking and enjoy an evening! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 My wife is in the belief that her work is more important than mine, and considering what she is currently helping set up, it is. But I think in every relationship one party feels that their work is more important. I have set up a desk for her in the spare room as she is on the phone a lot and I find it **** irritating. We dont really see each other during the day other than one bringing the other a cuppa. Usually me as clearly I am her bitch. What I have seen though, I would jack it in if I was part of her team. She is incapable of any praise at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 We’re in a position where her work is clearly more important than mine, that’s beyond debate. But mine pays double what hers does. Day 1, I said I don’t do coffee rounds in the office, I won’t be doing them at home before 5:00pm and nobody is to even comment on the amount of black coffee I put away and the resultant number of trips to the loo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I'm going to be that guy, I'm afraid, chaps. My lady and I have both been working from home for the last three weeks, both working in the spare room as a shared office. We've been absolutely fine and she's a far better office buddy than anyone I work with (many of them are noisy, annoying or just plain arseholes), we're both quiet and just get on with it. I can't listen to any music with lyrics as it's too distracting for me (I'm a book editor so I need to concentrate on reading), whereas she's a graphic designer and finds it difficult to work in silence. We've been listening to movie scores or lo-fi hip-hop since that's what I mainly listen to as I work, but if she fancies something a little louder, one of us will just stick headphones on. I've dated women in the past who would have been absolute nightmares to live and work with, but my girlfriend really is the epitome of low maintenance. I realise I'm very lucky. The only thing she won't put up with is laziness, and I've just been furloughed for the next three weeks. To be fair, I get annoyed at myself if I'm unproductive for too long, so I'm finally going to get some projects done now I have no excuse not to. I'll also probably be posting here a lot more though, but don't tell her I said that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
