Love in 2020 looks… different than love in any other year. If you don’t live with your significant other there might be times you have to stay physically away for weeks at a time.
I’ve been fortunate up until a few weeks ago. The cases have been low to non-existent in my home. We had less than 70 cases from March through October. Until one super spreader event and then the cases took off like a wildfire.
Because of that I haven’t been able to see my boyfriend in almost three weeks apart from a funeral. And it’s been difficult. We haven’t ever spent this much time apart. Even when I lived three hours away for college. So this is challenging on both of us.
It’s the holidays. Today is his birthday and I couldn’t spend it with him for the first time in our almost four year relationship because of possible covid exposures at his job.
And that really sucks, let me tell you. But the one beacon of light is that our relationship is reaffirmed. I know I want to be with him. I miss him like crazy and I think I love him even more now.
