“mask 19”

I’m social distancing with my emotionally abusive husband. Last week, we were distancing with his family, and he was wonderful: funny, playful, considerate. We were in the car driving home yesterday, when he started getting exasperated because I needed to pee before getting lunch. Today, he yelled at me for walking out to grab a bookshelf from beside our community dumpster without consulting him. It’s only Day 1. I’ve lasted a number of years, but I might not last through this.
