Just curious!

How long have you been together? How did you meet? What kind of things have helped you two stay connected during the pandemic?

My husband and I have been together almost 7 years, married a little over 4 years. We met in nursing school while both dating other people, we studied together with the same group of friends. Before anything developed, we parted from our exes and things just fell magically into place.

During the pandemic, things have been incredibly rough for us. This is the hardest year of marriage ever to be honest. On top of the pandemic, being stuck home most of the time, his mom getting sick and now on dialysis and such, the stresses have built up so much. Being cooped up, we get on each other's nerves often. I can't stand when he sits there on his phone or stupid apps like tik tok, etc. He hates when I spend alot of time cleaning and not being around him, but dang the house needs work done.. 🤷🏻‍♀️ among other small things. Sorry for venting! I don't get too close to people and talk about my life because I've always had negative things happen when I have friends, so I don't have anyone I regularly talk to around me other than hubs. I'm so happy to have you ladies!

The last two days have been amazing. I told my husband how I feel and we are working on making each other happy. He told me that he feels like it seems like I'm just used to having him around as opposed to being in love with him.. it hurt but felt good to listen to each other and make things right.. He hardly touched his phone at all the last two days, even drove us as a surprise to the lake to do a little fishing yesterday. He even painted my nails/toenails last night even though he wasn't super confident. Seeing him gaze into my eyes last night and tell me im so beautiful and asking how he got so lucky gave me butterflies. I had really missed that feeling. I think the stress of life just took us to a bad place, but as a couple we can grow and be as happy as before.

I think if we can all minimize our stress during the tww, it'll make things smoother. Im not expecting a bfp this month since we only BDd twice during my fertile window. I know it only takes one time, so if it happens, I'll be so happy. If it doesn't, its okay. I feel like I've already gotten so much out of this cycle by making our marriage better.
