I feel like a prisoner in my own body and in my home
So my husband is military, we are stationed in a very isolated location about 6000 miles away from any of my friends or family. I’m also 27 weeks pregnant, and I work from home. We live off base and our apartment only has one parking spot so my husband takes the car to work. This isn’t a problem in the week, but he’s on a special duty where now he works 24 on 24 off and I am stuck at home, pregnant, with no way to go anywhere for days at a time. Ubers are ridiculously expensive here so unless I want to pay $100 to go to the store and back, or walk 6 miles round trip, I cannot go do anything. I also don’t have any friends here, all his friends are single so there’s no easy way to make friends. I cannot even go to any prenatal groups because I don’t have a ride.
Along with this, I’ve been on pelvic rest for the last 8 weeks. So no sex, no anything. And now I have a horrible yeast infection that’s lasted over 2 weeks even with treatment. So our intimacy is out the window due to this, and his schedule. I try to give him a blowjob twice a week to take care of his needs but I literally cannot have an orgasm and it’s a mess down there anyway right now.
There’s only so much I can do at home, there’s only so many walks around the neighborhood I can take, only so many movies I can watch and only so many times I can clean the apartment or read books or call family. I also cannot travel as I’m no-fly per doctors orders. And family cannot fly here due to Covid restrictions.
So basically I’m miserable, I’m a prisoner in my body due to this pregnancy and the complications and I’m a prisoner to my home due to fuckinf Covid and where I live and not having room to park 2 cars. Also the shifts start and end at 1am so no I cannot go drop him off there, and nobody is willing to come pick him up either, he needs the vehicle for work to go to several different locations.
Edit- during the 24 off I’m working from home half the day and he is sleeping most of the day. I work till 6/7 at night, that leaves maybe an hour to go do anything before dinner and such. Our days off never fall on the same day together now.
