Oh man… I should really update this!
I think I may have mentioned that my ex and his girlfriend broke up Thanksgiving weekend, while on vacation in Oregon and Washington with our son. They got back together and broke up again a couple more times and are broken up for good.
When the coronavirus - which completely derailed my plans for my birthday on May 16th as well as my son’s birthday this past Thursday - hit, my ex got it into his head that he and I could become “play partners” but not have sex with each other. He started inviting me over for dinner all the time and offering to do me little favors around my house. It’s set off my BS alarm and I didn’t fall for it, though we do get along more often than not these days.
Two weeks into the quarantine I happened to be screwing around on Bumble one night and started chatting with a guy who lives about 20 minutes away for me. He is about four months younger than me, also about a year out of a sexless marriage (also from a crazy ex), also has teenage boys around the same age as my son, works in the same field I do and is also an artist.
We had a video date on April 3, which turned into a socially distant jog the following week, which turned into a socially distant dinner at his place the week after that, which turned into oil and acrylic painting at my house the following weekend. About two or so hours into painting all afternoon, he unexpectedly leaned over and kissed me. We both just kind of said “oh, screw it“, literally, and have been
talking a few times a week and seeing each other about every week-ish since. We both take our temperature 2-3 times a day and aren’t dating others that I know of. We’ve done everything from long hikes, to getting takeout, to Bollywood dancing together. He is very funny, very sweet, and loves all forms of touch. We had sex twice in one day once - I NEVER thought that’d be possible!
I really hesitate to say that I have a boyfriend because I am so terrified it’s going to blow up at any minute. But for the moment, I seriously cannot believe this is my life right now.
The number of Covid cases where I live is a little over 400 out of a population of about half a million and very, very few deaths (I am also in California, which is still very much in lockdown mode for a lot of industries). I am keeping my circle small and tight right now.
That’s all for now!
