It’s a tough situation for many couples as they navigate the often harsh realities of their relationships during this pandemic. Remember that “for better or worse” vow? Well, right now, we’re definitely in the “worse” territory. If your partner isn’t following social distancing guidelines, it’s completely understandable to feel frustrated. Seriously, stay home!
Confessions from Couples
Confession #1: “My husband STILL believes the coronavirus is a hoax.”
Confession #2: “I KNEW men would remain the same lazy, entitled, useless jerks they have always been. I KNEW it.”
Confession #3: “He just doesn’t grasp the 6-foot rule. If you hear about a woman’s head exploding, it’s probably me explaining it for the billionth time in four weeks!”
On the flip side, some are reveling in the constant company of their partners, perhaps even a bit too much.
Confession #4: “My husband has been working out, and he looks so good I can hardly stand it. Sometimes, while he’s snoring, I sneak a peek at his body. I feel like a creep, but he’s just so hot!”
Confession #5: “My husband quit shaving during quarantine. I told him I would stop too if he didn’t. He didn’t, so I did. Surprisingly, sex has gotten a LOT better—turns out we both have a thing for hairy humping.”
Confession #6: “When my husband asked what I wanted for Easter, I said, ‘An orgasm,’ and he delivered six! Can’t tell my friend about it since she’s having issues with her husband, so here I am, shouting into the void that mine is a wizard in bed!”
However, a common theme among many confessions is a desire for a break or for their partners to step up.
Confession #7: “Yes, please keep telling me how I need to do things, and when I try to explain my way, he just shuts down! It’s infuriating.”
Confession #8: “Honestly, I’m relieved my husband’s job is closed due to the virus because I don’t have to hear him complain about it all day.”
Confession #9: “I’m just worn out by my needy husband. This pandemic has shown me how clueless men can be about daily responsibilities.”
Yet, amid the chaos, there’s a silver lining. Many are beginning to appreciate their partners more than ever, realizing how hard they work and how challenging parenting can be. Saying “You were right” isn’t easy, but it can strengthen a marriage!
Confession #10: “As a stay-at-home mom, I do everything—clean, cook, homeschool. After two weeks at home, my husband is finally acting like he’s overwhelmed and stuck. Now he knows what I deal with!”
Confession #11: “A week into staying home, my husband is in shock at how hectic our life is. He’s now semi-feral, making fires daily. This month should be interesting.”
Confession #12: “I now see that I was wrong to be angry about moving from a tiny NYC apartment to a big house. But only during a pandemic can I admit he was right!”
But let’s be real, many are just counting the days until they can escape.
Confession #13: “If my husband makes it through this pandemic without me locking him out, it’ll be a miracle.”
Confession #14: “I’ve told my husband countless times that if he doesn’t start paying attention to me, I’m leaving… as soon as I can get out, I will!”
Confession #15: “The more time I spend with my husband, the more I realize I’m just here to keep everything running. I wish I had the courage to leave. He’d do anything to turn the kids against me.”
Conversely, this pandemic has also fostered a newfound appreciation for our partners.
Confession #16: “My husband went to Costco for me, and it felt like I was sending him off to war.”
Confession #17: “I’m praying my husband’s job gets shut down this week. Forget the bills, we need him safe!”
Confession #18: “My husband is immunocompromised and has to go to the hospital for treatment. Please, pray he stays healthy and doesn’t get exposed.”
It’s evident that this pandemic is a true test for relationships. For some, it will deepen their connections (hello, spontaneous daytime intimacy!), while others might just be dreaming of a she-shed with a dozen locks.
In conclusion, navigating relationships during COVID-19 has revealed both the strengths and weaknesses in our partnerships. Whether it’s love or frustration, many of us are learning more about each other than we ever thought possible.
