I’m not sure if this has more to do with traditional gender roles or the fact that I lived alone for nearly ten years and the cooking and cleaning was always up to me.ħ:00 p.m. I’m cooking and cleaning, and surprisingly I actually enjoy it. Moving in with my partner has me leaning into my fully domesticated self. My partner works for a bank as a UX researcher so he’s pretty busy.ġ:45 p.m. I’m in digital advertising the pandemic hit some clients pretty hard (fashion retail especially), while other clients (big box giants) are thriving, so I’m pretty busy with those who have the money to advertise while consumers are on lockdown. I get the gist of what’s happening without getting too deep.ġ0:00 a.m. I can only look once a day or my anxiety would flare up too often, so I like reading newsletters. My partner’s alarm goes off and I start reading the news. After watching like 30 ingrown hair extraction videos on YouTube with my partner, I head to bed to scroll through Instagram until I get sleepy.Ĩ:45 a.m. Meaning if I wanted to learn a position or sexual act, I would watch porn. Today, I mentioned that I used to use porn for education, not pleasure. My partner and I like to go for a walk together everyday. It seems to work because he pops his head in often to kiss or chat with me (and I do the same with him).Ħ:00 p.m. She suggested creating space, so I work in the bedroom and my partner works in the living room. I’m a religious follower of Esther Perel and luckily she’s been giving COVID-19 advice for creating desire in intimate relationships right now. It’s been almost four years since we’ve been “official,” and we’ve already agreed we want to die together, but marriage isn’t that important to us.ģ:30 p.m. I always loved talking to him, but I was already dating another guy who worked at the café, so we were friends until we reconnected in 2016. We originally met when we were working at a café together in 2013. My partner and I moved in together a month ago it’s been quite the adjustment because not only are we both living with a significant other for the first time, but we’re figuring it out during a lockdown. He crawls out of bed to log in for work and I power my laptop on to start the day. I stopped setting alarms during the pandemic because I don’t need that stress.ġ0:15 a.m. This week, a woman and her partner try “reverse cowgirl” while working hard from home: 28, Queens, in a relationship.ĩ:30 a.m.
