I’m dealing with taking care of a 70+ family member that just moved in and is dependent on me. Worried enough about COVID infection. I think my partner may be laid off this week. How to deal??

Take it one step at a time. If needed, communicate to manager.

Keep your head up. Everybody will be getting hit hard during this world war V(virus). My parents are also 70+ and I’m sure most of us will be losing some income. Everybody will need to tighten their spending, stay positive, and be safe.

So I was in contact with someone who got covid ~2 weeks ago. Haven’t vaxxed yet not bc I’m against it but because it’s not available yet due to shortage from where I’m from. Already got tested and came out negative but my housemates insists on doing another week of quarantine in my room. So 3 weeks in total. Is that even necessary?

Ladies, around how many dates would you go on before having sex with someone you want to be serious with?

I don’t want to rush anything & I would prefer to have it happen naturally, but in the age of COVID I feel like eventually I’m gonna have to have an explicit convo about this with him (cont)
