Members Popular Post foreverhis Posted January 31, 2022 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Yep. I had heard people say that they miss everything, even the little annoyances. I thought that was a bit much. Then John died. I'd give anything to have to nudge him from time to time to get him to stop snoring. This is from the John Pavlovitz blog post "You can't social distance from grief" that really spoke to me about it: Because of the restrictions, many of us are currently exasperated with the people we’re quarantined with right now; fully frustrated with the habits and idiosyncrasies that we’ve become intimately and profoundly aware of—but even that is a blessing, to have such proximity to be temporarily bothered by. Because the truth is, the forced and permanent distance is much worse. Today, my heart is with those who are stuck in a space, and who would give anything to be sick of someone they miss right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post Jennifer Uren Posted January 31, 2022 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Love this. I remember being told years ago about a lady who said she’d give anything to pickup her husband’s dirty underwear off the bathroom floor again so I used to tell Jay to leave his dirty clothes all over the place if he wanted. I didn’t apply that to everything though. I used to get annoyed because he would often repeatedly text me while I was working AND he’d get upset if I didn’t respond quick enough. Now….. the lack of texts and silence of my phone is excruciating. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now….. the lack of texts and silence of my phone is excruciating. This is me with Catherine. I usually get upset when I text her or sent her one on her messenger and she doesn't respond immediately. It almost always ends up with me bombarding her with text after text after text until she reply. With her though, it is different. She didn't like me talking to the opposite sex or chatting with them for long hours, so if she catches me or she assumes that I'm doing that, she would keep messaging me to no end. It annoys me quite a bit, but not really, because I thought it's cute when she does that. Now, I'd give anything for her to spam me everyday, every hour, every minute with more messages like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators KayC Posted February 1, 2022 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 @foreverhisEverything you said is so spot on! People complain about being stuck at home with their families. While I know that has annoyances at times, they really can't begin to comprehend how fortunate they are. Being totally alone against our wishes is a whole other ballgame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just being free to be yourself AND being able to laugh and enjoy it says a lot about a relationship. I’m happy you had that type of love catcat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
