I never thought about kissing, hugging or otherwise physically engaging with DH with his exposure risk since we're always in the house together. When I'm stressed I need sex a lot more, even just the comfort and knowing I'm wanted/needed. He's the opposite and shuts down. I'm at the point where I recommend he self medicate to relax, because it often leads to him having desires.

I wouldn't say I'm dating exactly, but I am in a location with someone I'd had relations with previously and was hoping, since I was forced to travel here anyway, to maybe have a repeat performance. Nope, not happening. We're forced by government decree to stay home, anyway, or else the temptation to risk it might be there. There's some Alanis Morisette irony going on here. I went from 2100km apart to 21km yet talk to him and video chat less now when we have all the time in the world with everything shut down.
If it were my spouse, I think that I'd need the stress reliever more than usual. But, I don't have kids, and my ex and I rarely had a guest bedroom in our 13 years of marriage. He still has to go into work at one of the global epicenters, so I probably would have taken a fuckit attitude because what can you really do in some situations? Live on an air mattress in the office for a few months? That's hardly sustainable.
I am a nurse with direct contact with Covid patients. H is an essential worker but trying to distance himself as much as he can at work. He is immunocompromised and a smoker so if he were to get sick I'm extra terrified of what could happen.
We are trying to stay as far from each other as we can be in the same house. Different bedrooms/bathrooms and I wear a mask. So no sex:( It fucking sucks but I keep telling myself it's a temporary situation that's necessary to keep him safe.
It's my anniversary weeeeeeee! Also my H was informed he'll be getting 50% of his salary. And I have my period. And I work until midnight and start at 7.
If we have sex ever again it will be a miracle. I am just going through the motions of what passes for life anyway so I don't honestly care, it's just one more blip of How Is This My Life?.
My bf and I do not live together, but he spends evenings or overnights at my house most nights. I am working from home and he is veterinarian and his clinic just changed their schedule and he has had a lot of days off lately (they switched to some weird 12 hours shift rotating schedule). We still kiss and cuddle. We haven’t had sex since June (for other reasons), but if given the chance I am not turning down sex at this point.
