I miss my husband. I mean, he lives with me and all, but because I am a physician and I’ve been exposed to so many people, I don’t necessarily trust my exposures around our normal childcare. I would feel horrible if I exposed my mother or father in-law to COVID. And we don’t necessarily trust alternative childcare—you never can be sure if other people share your values when it comes to social distancing—I don’t want to expose my family any more than they are already exposed.
And so date night is…nonexistent. Because kids are around ALL. THE. TIME.
I miss my husband.
I miss feeling like a woman, getting dressed up for him, and being able to just sit and talk to him in a restaurant or ride in the car with him. And sure, we talked about the kids—but they weren’t there.
If there’s anything I’m hoping this vaccine brings, I’m hoping it brings some grown up play time. My marriage needs it.
