Anyone else feel their relationship is improving because of staying inside together?

Nah. I think my HVM was just a LVM in disguise but we're stuck together for a bit before I can move out.

Yesterday the car was warming up (-40 here) and I ask if he could help throw some ingredients in the bowl while I mix because I was getting some bread started while we wait. He throws his controller down (all he does is play ps4) and rolls his eyes and says "I don't fucking know what to do". I told him I was planning to explain it to him when he got to me.

He says "I might as well turn the car off it seems like we're not going anywhere anytime soon" and stomps to the door. I literally just needed to mix this dough and cover it to rise before leaving. My feelings are hurt so I just quietly finish up the dough while he stops the car.

When he returns this guy actually starts crying because he "wanted to help me bake and I was mean and wouldn't let him help". What? He literally tried to manipulate me into thinking I was the mean one. It was all very confusing. The day only got worse and he spent hours crying and moping because I hurt his feelings by not letting him help with the bread.

Later on he obviously felt bad and kept asking about the book I'm reading. This guy literally doesn't talk to me ever, and is pretending to be a great guy because I'm mad. Does he think I'm an idiot?

Wth is wrong with men??

This is nice to hear. I have to keep reminding myself that sane men do exist.

I'm happier, not sadder, to have more time to spend with my husband. We aren't wasting energy any more on wondering whether we've become "boring old people" for not wanting to go out, since it's not an option (lol) so we're both tidying around the house and crafting things together. Now that he has a couple extra hours a day from not having to commute to/from work, he's choosing of his own accord to spend more time cleaning and helping me cook, without me having to ask. It's nice getting to know each other even better.

I'm definitely happier for having more time to spend with my boyfriend. We play games together, cuddle, and talk all day. Its awesome.

As discouraging as the impending cancellation of our wedding is, my fiancé and I have otherwise been doing well in isolation together. Sometimes we hang out together, sometimes we do our own things in separate rooms. We’re both catching up on tidying certain spaces. It’s all fine. Reinforces for me the importance of compatibility in terms of maintaining a good rapport as friends and companions within a romantic relationship.

Yes!! I've decided to quarantine with my boyfriend and it has been amazing, we have a lot of fun! I have a chronic illness that gets in the way sometimes, but it has been delightful until now.
