[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorced Mom with a teen son and plenty of money to order everything delivered.  I think I am at the top of the list...so many of my married friends are going out of their minds with their DH’s in their space all the time or wanting quiet for conference calls...particularly the SAHMs or PT/Flex schedule ones. [/quote]

SAHM of two kids. I live in a SFH with plenty of space. If we were divorced (even if I started working) our finances would not have allowed us to have a big SFH large enough that multiple people could live and work happily in.   I am also glad I have two teens because they have companionship and comradery. I think it would be pretty depressing for me to have only one child or no adult companionship.

DH and I still go for walks together and chill out together so that has not changed, and I like sex with him too much to want to give that up. Of course, in the first place, he is a man I want to remain married to, so it is different from your situation. I am happy though that you are happy. If you feel your situation is better than most then you are truly winning. [/quote]

It’s not depressing at all!  My son and I have a strong bond ....we have traveled to six continents together before this .... now we play board games, take walks, ride bikes, bake together, watch movies and I have plenty of “adult” time both with my professional obligations and friends (all virtually)....as for sex I just help myself.  I also have a large place for the two of us (about 3,000 sq feet) and we set up a mini gym in one room with the Peloton, weights, punching bag...we are doing a May push-up and plank challenge!  Glad you are content with your lockdown situation but am happy [b]I don’t have a DH who expects the cooking, cleaning, laundry, distance learning and such are my responsibilities even though he is also home. Would drive me nuts![/b][/quote]

:shock:  That would certainly drive me nuts too. Thankfully everyone pitches in and things are running  smoothly. DH cooked even before the pandemic so he still does that.  I am great with tackling kids academics. ECs and schooling so that still falls on me. [/quote]
