I woke up in the morning, groggy and still quite tired. Nobody next to me in bed.
My wife was polyamorous and had always been. We had been married for over 5 years now but she wasn’t staying with me for the quarantine. She decided to spend time with her boyfriend instead. They had been together for over a year and she wanted to get to know him better. What better time to do that than this. I dropped her to her boyfriends place on the day quarantine was announced, she was so excited and smiling all over.
It had been three weeks now and I didn’t expect the quarantine to last this long. Alone at home with nobody to talk to, nobody to see, nobody to touch. I hadn’t had physical contact with someone in over 3 weeks. I look at the time and notice that it was 8am. I give my wife a call and don’t get an answer. I text her “Hey honey, just give me a call back whenever you see this. Would love to talk, love you xx” . i went over to make some coffee as I had barely gotten sleep the night before. Went to bed at 11 but the anxiety kept me up till 4 and I barely got an hour of sleep. I finish making my coffee and sip it while sitting on my chair as I finally get a call from her.
