Hello from the epicenter of coronavirus! And also hello from Opposite Land, where I’ve been living since October 2012. I’ve now been with my husband almost as long as I was married to my ex!!
Happy to say that despite hearing sirens day and night, we are well as are our families (mine here in NY and Colorado), husband’s in Barcelona. Keeping my fingers crossed it stays that way...
My marriage is still great and surprises me regularly, how much we deeply care about each other’s happiness, how deeply we understand each other, the joy we share in our beautiful young children, the way we have weathered many storms in our life together already and no matter what, even after months where we seem to barely see each other, just a day or two together and our connection is rekindled. Life is complicated! I’m so glad I’m sharing it with someone who I love and respect and admire so much, and who feels the same way about me. And yes, the sex is still pretty hot!
Just wanted to check in and say hi, and wish everyone well in this crazy time around the world.
Love from Brooklyn, NY!!
-NYartgal

Hello! So great to hear a positive post and that you are all happy and healthy! Edit with update: I have been out of my SM for almost 7 years, and until recently I have been single and thinking I'd be that way forever. However...Before all this corona stuff happened, back in February, I met a really good guy and we are now staying at home together (after a 14-day self quarantine to be sure we were both safe). I am a happy bunny in this new relationship and hoping it continues this way  |

So glad to hear from someone in oppositeland with such a positive and uplifting update. I’m so glad you and your family are doing well. I’ve been in oppositeland since October 2019 and still adjusting to my new normal. This unprecedented social distancing has certainly given me a set of challenges I hadn’t anticipated. I’d venture to say it has for most people!

I'm way better than just fine. I hope we hear a lot of positive reports from the post-sexless marriage people. I have been out of the house for almost two years, now. I, for one, have no intentions of ever marrying again, but that doesn't mean I don't want to love and be loved. I do, and I am, and I feel so much more understood and appreciated than I did for most of my marriage. I like having my own little corner of the world. I live alone, about half an hour from idgaf96. We text and talk throughout the day, and see each other regularly. I'm working through this pandemic craziness. This won't last forever, and, whether things get back to normal or just a "new normal," things are getting better. Hang in there, everyone. |

Hello Sister nyartgal . Great to hear from you again. Your oldest would be school age by now (?) Jeez, time moves along doesn't it. May you and Senor Sexy Spaniard continue to go from strength to strength. Ms enna and I clocked up 10 years together on 11th April. |

So great to hear everyone’s updates! Congratulation on everyone escaping their SM. It’s kind of incredible with this much distance to see what I put up with and for how long...it feels like a story that happened to someone else, though I did learn an incredible amount from it.
Yes, our kids are growing up—daughter is 6 and in kindergarten, or was until the pandemic. Our son is 3.5 and almost as big as his older sister. They are really great kids, very happy and sweet. I attribute at least some of that to growing up with parents who are in a happy marriage. I’ve noticed how sensitive they are to fluctuations in our moods and happiness. I can’t imagine if we were unhappy all the time or even worse, pretending.
Hope everyone stays safe and well! I can’t tell you how terrible it is here in Brooklyn, which has more coronavirus deaths than anyplace else in the country, 25% of all deaths. People are dying at home at a very high rate, including a neighbor in my building. We are determined not to live in fear, however. Our mental health is what is going to keep us sane in the long haul! New Yorkers are as tough as it gets. I know we will get through this like we have gotten through everything else.
Take care of yourselves ❤️❤️❤️

Take care of yourselves ❤️❤️❤️ I have a friend (we are RNs) that went to help in New York...they extended our licensure to anywhere in the US. She said it is awful...nowhere near Washington in terms of hospital capacity, ventilator availability, medical staff, PPE, etc. She said the loading of bodies into trucks was surreal. Stay safe! |

Yes, my upstairs neighbor is an oncology nurse at Mount Sinai...it’s terrible what these frontline medical workers are going through. I fear they will have terrible PTSD. 1 in every 800 New Yorker has died. |

NC has approx. 1/10th of the US population at 34.5 million. Fortunately our Covid19 infection rate is pretty low, 10,500 sick and 354 dead as of the 30th. As for me I practice socially isolating on my Harley.
