I honestly couldn’t relate more. Moved into a tiny tiny 1 room flat with my partner in Feb as a “base” to just sleep/eat at short term. Literally there was a bed in the corner in the same room as the tiny “kitchen” and one tiny breakfast bar type thing which we both ended up working from. Pretty much a bit of wood that had enough room for 2 laptops and that’s it. The shower “room” (cubicle 🙃) didn’t have a door - only a curtain 🤷🏻♀️ it’s been a RIDE. 😂 all your points about communication: we had almost EXACTLY the same issues 😂 THANK YOU FOR THE VALIDATION (and tips) ♥️

In Germany we are somewhat back "normal" (biiig airquotes) but when we were in the depths of it, me and my partner would take a walk alone, go food shopping alone and just were super honest with what we both needed. Luckily we have some doors because otherwise there would have been a lot more silent fighting. We are really bad at fighting, something we learned during lockdown and are kinda getting better at.

You guys mentioned the fact that there's no personal news or gossip right now and for me that has meant that everybody I know has had to hear me go on and on about my plants. I was already weirdly attached to my houseplants, but I planted some peas and a zucchini on my balcony and those have become like my babies! I went to visit a friend and within 24 hours I was already missing my peas and wondering if they were okay... At least this weird summer has had pretty good weather for my plants and they're doing well!

The idea of "news boundaries" is SO great! I've been living with my parents, and while I am very careful about what media I consume and why, my parents just watch the news and then info-dump me at meals time and it feels humiliating and belittling each time, like if they're trying to shame me into thinking people are terrible.

I am a millennial and I don't live in London and honestly I am so grateful we moved out of London before lockdown because my partner can go to their office and I can go to the garden or a different room. Also it's a 10 minute walk to the countryside which I think has saved my brain. When we shared a two bedroom flat with one of our friends in London FOR THE SAME PRICE without outdoor space and one kitchen/dining/living room I would have gone actually homocidal. Also I feel the same with Craig about exercise. I work on my feet but the libraries are closed now and so working out has really been a game changer. I feel down the stairs and really noticed how much more anxious I was because I couldn't exercise.

My family and I have found news boundaries helpful too! We've written up a list of fun questions (like "what was your favorite childhood television show" or "what is the best vacation you've been on") to ask each other when we can't think of non-news things to talk about, which has produced some really fun conversations!

Top tips! Separate spaces, even if they are nominal / organised by having shifts in different parts of the house (who gets an indulgently long shower in the morning, and who gets it in the evening?). Also! Privately snooping on how other people in different circumstances are doing /what they hate about it and finding your silver lining of where you are and who you are with (aka counting your lucky stars that you are not in their situation).
@jwatson11 4 жыл бұрын
Something that's happened to me during lockdown is that my sleep schedule is so different from usual - I've been naturally waking up (feeling rested) far earlier than usual. A crucial step has been not expecting my partner to also conform to these changes (everyone needs their sleep their way) - we just don't go to bed or get up at the same time at the moment.

I’m the opposite but it also has to do with different environments - at uni me and my boyfriend wake up at different times and I’ll work in bed or at his desk until he wakes up. I don’t expect everyone to wake up at the same time as me or work at my schedule. But at home my family like structure and I’m expected to wake up at the same time as the rest of my family and have the same schedule as them. (So instead of a 1-10am person I’m now a 11pm-8am person....)

Oh my gosh I needed this!! xD Very similar situation here, my partner and I live in a 1-bedroom (really, more like a 1/2 bedroom) apartment in the middle of a major city, which we chose largely because of its easy access to city things. We've been together for 5 years so we know each other quite well at this point and obviously like each other a lot, but being together 24/7 is still a big adjustment. Using the headphones-system has helped (when one of us has headphones on, that means we don't want to be bothered). I've also found that actually ordering less takeout is helpful, because we get a kind of natural break from each other when one of us is making dinner or washing dishes.

You know, it's our first year as a married couple, 5 total together, and having the pandemic as the background of our Becoming A Legal Family sucks but also.. builds... character??? I mean, I knew we were probably gonna stick together when we drove a neverending eleven hours to the beach because of high season traffic and did it with humor and grace, but this is entirely something else. Though it does foretell me this: it was 8 in the evening when we arrived at the beach and we instantly we took a swim in the ocean, so naturally when the pandemic "ends" we will probably throw an all out party. I think we are alright

It can be difficult but definitely character building. I'm also like you Leena - find it hard to create boundaries because I'm a people pleaser and also don't handle arguments well!

I think the putting your headphones on when your partner is in a call is a great habit! Not only as a respect to each other’s privacy but also because I always feel awkward/rude/just weird to be unintentionally eavesdropping on a conversation. I actually feel quite lucky in that way - my boyfriend is Dutch (I’m English) so he’ll chat to and text most of his friends in another language and I can just make peace with not knowing rather than being overwhelmed with a curiosity to know what he’s talking about, or whether he’s saying anything about me haha, that kind of thing

This is really helping as I go through a wave of breakup regret. My ex and I moved in together in November 2020 and broke up the following May. There was a deadly cocktail of codependence and mental health issues and I genuinely felt like I was drowning/dying. It was horribly sad breaking up while still being in love but watching this and how healthy your boundaries are is really helping reiterate that we ultimately made the right choice parting ways.
