At first I was ready to choke hubby. I like my coffee strong he likes it weak. One morning he puts 9 cups of water to 4 tablespoons of coffee. He wanted to know if it was ok. I was furious😡. I’m in lockdown with high schoolers teenagers, 2 colleges kids, him and he decides go mess with my coffee? I went out purchased coffee then picked up my own coffee pot 😂 Apart from that we are stronger than ever.

Bless you. 😂😂😂
I love my girlfriend more than ever. Being in isolation with her made me realize she really is the one.

Same, less to argue about!

Initially my wife and I weren’t sure how the hell we’d tolerate each other in one house for so many days (plus kids and parents). Now we’ve come to a healthy calm and just celebrated 12 years of marriage. I’d say we are in a better place than pre-Covid

Happy anniversary!
Idk but I feel like me and my SO are so close now it’s awesome
We're about the same. We both enjoy time at home together & can still do our own thing in separate spaces.
Love hearing positive outcomes and habits coming out of the unfortunate circumstances!
My 6 year old is bringing out the absolute worst in my husband - he is being very mean to the kid and me. We've been married 25 years, it's never been "great", but I told him this needs to change or I want a divorce. I've asked him to go to counseling with us but he's not interested. I think this has confirmed for me a few things that I suspected - mostly that he is just in this marriage because I have always been the paycheck and he doesn't actually want to be with us.
Sending you all the strength and love. Do what’s best for you and your child. ❤️
Amazing. I suffer from depression which I’m medicated for, but during these weeks nothing has really calmed the anxiety. He has been my rock and ship in a way i didn’t even know was possible.
Everything is so wholesome 😊 (6:20 PM EST)
Strong before (lived together for almost 4 years and no major issues cohabitating issues); stronger than ever now supporting each other through our highs and lows. Could not have survived the past 2 months without them. So thankful for how well they understand me.
Same. Always been super close. But lots more tiny arguments from being in close quarters. So if a couple didn’t know how to move past those I could see more divorces (but they were inevitable imo).

Relationship was the shit before and is way better! We haven’t argued once.

Omg! 🤢🤮 to the number of people saying all is hunky dory. Good for you!! I’m ready to exit right after this blows over. There’s nothing like a good crisis to set your priorities right...
Hang in there C3. For your sanity, try to patch things up so at least you are civil while this passes.
I’ve never been more happy to be single!
SAME 😭
Didn’t think I could love my S/O more than I did pre-covid

Hasn’t changed anything. We were happy before and we’re happy now.

Husband and I are Gucci!
More in love, but only because it started with a huge argument. Wife is a healthcare worker (part of the argument is whether or not she is actually "front line" - my position was no because she isn't a Dr or nurse) and insists on still going to work in the hospital through this. For our whole relationship I've been supportive of her career, though financially her income has been a nice to have and not significant to us financially. Because of this, we've been thinking about having her take some time off when we have kids since her incremenal salary after tax would barely cover the cost of a nanny (kids were planned to come this year, but we've also pushed that back due to the pandemic). Adding all of this up, I was very adamant that it isn't worth it for her to be going in right now, and she should be sheltering in place with me since I have a pre-existing condition that puts me at high risk, but she continues to go in to work even though it is her choice (she has a laptop and is fully capable of doing everything from home, but feels guilty because her direct reports need to go in). I'm still pretty mad about the situation and see this as selfish behavior that makes me question her future commitment to being a parent, but this whole situation has also made me realize how much I love her. I feel that I'm risking my life just to keep seeing her now, and we have some things to work on before kids come, but the thought of being apart from her even for a couple of months was so much worse (we thought about renting a second place during the pandemic so I would be safe, but I couldn't do it). I'm still just as sprung off that ill na na as I was when we first met (plus I guess she's my best friend and all that...). That is my story
So-so. Wife was laid off as a result of COVID, so I’m at home working consulting hours while she’s stuck with me in ~650 sq ft in Boston. It’s weird to basically ignore her sitting 6 feet away for 12 hours per day but she appreciates my work more now

Hopefully you can take nice breaks in between to show her she’s important. Those are the little things that give you mileage.
All good over here. It was smooth sailing once I got over his conference call voice.
