What is our problem, PP? I've been doing the same and I don't get it. I'm happy in my life and haven't thought of him in years.

This was 20 years ago and I’ve never gotten over the heartbreak. Ex and I dated in college. I was head over heels in love; he said that something wasn’t “clicking” (I hate that!) and broke up with me. After graduation, I dated someone else briefly. Ex came back into my life and we were FWBs for years. He n said he loved me, but was probably just using me. Then, he married his not very attractive on again off again girlfriend. I felt like the biggest loser and so used. Other couples in college we knew who started dating when we did are celebrating their 25 year anniversaries. WTF? I wanted to marry him so badly. I just still feel so sad about this. Why did he choose her over me? Don’t flame me, I already know what an idiot I am. But being stuck at home, all of these feelings have resurfaced for me.

I won't flame you, PP. As they say, everybody plays the fool sometimes. I hope we stop thinking of these folks sooner rather than later.

Me too. Limerance is torture!

I shaved my armpits today for the first time in 8 days.

I think that's the longest I've ever gone, since puberty. Honestly I'm tempted to grow them out just to see what it looks like because who's going to see them? I'm currently single. I'm working at home, not going to the gym, running outside. I'm still wearing deodorant every day, but tempted to fully make March the pits.

THANK GOD I NEVER HAD KIDS AND THE HUBBY GOT A VASCTOMY

Look how much cleaner the world has become- the air, the water...
also, there are so many seniors in care homes whose relatives will be secretly relieved if they died.
There are homeless people who are supposedly harder hit by the virus; in any case, I see much fewer of them now...
I think this is a means to rebalance the world...

Just so long as you're not part of the rebalancing, I take it?

I never said it was intentional or that I was happy about it.
Just that it has some unintended consequences that might be ultimately good for the planet.
I think it is just happening... I might be part of it, or just a casualty.

NP. You are still gross. The museums of the world benefit from objects stolen in Africa by colonialists and in Europe by the Nazis. Do you think that’s a benefit?

I think it’s something human-inflicted and should be made right.
This, however...

Me too! Limerance is hard to kick for sure.

I am so so happy to shelter in place! I know it’s selfish but I hope it continues until end of May and then we go straight into summer.

I hooked up with a past flame this past weekend (we are both single - and had been isolating). It was an amazing night and has put me in a good mood all week!

I'm dreading NOT being quarantined.

A lot of my work is on hold and though I am still incredibly busy/overworked, this means that I don't have to do site inspections and travel. More time to catch up on work, hang out with family and NOT expose myself with travel. When I am 'allowed' to travel I will be bummed, worried and playing catch up with all my sites, and missing my family.

So, why did they bend for her and not us? ie: get the xtra degree, etc.? Did they know they lost out by losing us and they didn't want to go through it again?

[Anonymous]

No. They were not meant for us and we were not meant for them. It is not a matter of bending for one and not the other.

I don’t know. I have wondered this for 20 years. Not to brag, but I was beautiful, smart, kind, horny , fun, and head over heels in love with him. She is significantly less attractive, but she won the geography and timing battle.

I’m thrilled that I don’t have to come up with excuses for why I can’t get together with someone. I can just stay home and not have to go out!!!!

Did you ever get married or are you still single?
