"My boyfriend's father didn't want us to be isolated together and he was right. According to him, he did not want us to "play at home." In other words, we didn?t want to stay 24 hours a day with each other and do anything irresponsible, like the work of an accidental pregnancy. Luckily for him, my boyfriend resisted very little, packed his clothes and went to the family home.
We are both university students and have been together for two years. I?m graduating this year while he?s not (he?s younger than me in age) and we definitely wanted to use the moment to spend two weeks alone. Before the pandemic, we had decided to stay together even after I graduated because we thought our love would survive the distance and life changes. When we had to give up normalcy, our feelings for each other changed rapidly.
At first, living together seemed exciting. We played games together, we took care of my kitten, we watched series. This lasted a day.
I started to hate the nights with him and his tireless snoring. I hated the smiling mimicry of my face when talking to friends on PlayStation, and I hated smiling the moment he saw me. He walked around in turmoil, insisting that it was good when he couldn't make it clearer that something was wrong. I felt like I had an anxious teenager at home. Moreover, none of us showed any thread of intimacy or caress.
Everything got worse when we went to the market together. I got caught up in something insignificant, but he exaggerated it and left me in the car. Out of anger, I left him there and drove home. When I regained consciousness, he had taken a taxi.
He said nothing when he returned. Packed things the next day.
Incidents like these are common in our relationship. The biggest problem is our opposing personalities. He is passive while I am not. It will not be fought, but it means that the problems we have are simply boiling beneath the surface and not being solved. I am not an angel either. I take his gentle behavior for granted and often overstep the bounds.
We are not separated yet, but I have the impression that we will be separated. How will we stay together after I graduate, when we can't stand a week with each other? Maybe this situation will help us mature or prove that we should not be together. "
