Most of us have been self-quarantining, or at least staying home, since March. Have you been isolated with a partner during this time or have you been alone? If you’ve been with your partner, has it made your relationship stronger or weaker?
For those of you who may have been in the world of online dating before the pandemic, how has not being able to see people affected you? Are you still finding ways to connect with others online?
Please tell us in the poll below how the pandemic has either helped or hindered your love life. Leave a comment too if you’d like.
It will be interesting to see how the birth rate changes starting in December of this year! 😉😃😂
My wife works in Labor & Delivery and she says the same thing. Dec. through Feb. are usually the slowest time of the year for them.
I’ve heard speculation that the birth rate won’t rise–but the divorce rate will.
Perhaps they will be equal.
Considering the birthrate in the US is below normal, not quite at a dangerous level as in some countries. I doubt much will change. More and more of the younger generations are choosing to be childless. There also many that chose to wait and then find they waited too long to reproduce. Many would be surprised at how many couples need medical help to conceive.
We sometimes get too busy and do not pay that much attention to each other but with all this downtime it has been great having a playmate that I enjoy spending time with. We like each other all the time but this pandemic seems to accentuate it.
Will the next generation be known as quarenteens.
Yup, starting in 2034
Define “love life”. After 55 years of marriage to the same person, sex is pretty much a thing of the past; however, as for love, I would lay down my life for her in a split second and can’t imagine living without her. That’s my “love life”.
You need to add a choice: “None of your business.”
Gene, I believe that answer would be “do not reply.”
We wondered what it would be like when we retired and it was the both of us, all the time, together, day after day after day.
We wondered if we would get bored with each other.
We wondered if we would get tired of each other
Now we know and it is great.
My best friend.
That’s sweet, Steve. Sounds like a Hallmark card. 😀 —Diane at RVtravel.com
Well, my college aged daughter is now home 24/7, so I have to say “hindered”. No private time at all.
