There is one thing which many people are doing right now and that is self-isolating themselves at home.
But what would you do if you get a chance to self-isolate yourself with your ex? Umm, sounds not so good but a woman had to do this.
Georgia Armstrong, 24, and her partner Kyle Greener, 26 who split five weeks ago are self-isolating together. The pair who had parted their ways had no idea that they will have to live together again during the lockdown period.
Kyle who is a roofer wanted to move with a mate had to return to his ex and kids Oakley, 7, and Beau, 4. Georgia said: “When Kyle and I finally split in February, it was a huge relief. He was moving in with a mate and I finally had the flat to myself. Then when the lockdown hit, Kyle and I suddenly faced a crisis.’’
“The friend Kyle had moved in with wanted his own family to stay, so we decided it would be better for him to move back in temporarily and sleep on the sofa.’’
The couple from Wakefield, West Yorks is forced to live with each other as they have no choice but to see each other’s faces every day and taking care of their children. “Being in each other’s face for 24 hours a day while looking after two kids in a two-bedroom flat is not easy. His work as a roofer stopped, as it’s non-essential.VIt’s been hell on earth.”
Georgia and Kyle first met through their school friends and their relationship blossomed in 2010, they decided to live together at her mom’s house. In 2013, the couple relocated into their own flat with son Oakley and like every other couple, they had moments when there were arguments and small fights between them.
Georgia said: “Being young parents was amazing. But meeting so young meant we’d never both really lived. There were times when we’d break up for a couple of weeks then get back together.’’
“In March 2015, we split up after three months of arguing. I started a short-term relationship and then got pregnant, but the relationship didn’t last.’’
In 2016, the couple became parents of a baby girl named Beau and decided to get back together. “In February 2016, my daughter Beau was born,’’ she said .
“Kyle was a committed co-parent to Oakley and, within six months of Beau’s birth, we were an item again. He’s a great dad and this time Kyle and I worked harder at our relationship.”
But on Christmas in 2019, the pair reached their breaking point and called it quits. Georgia says: “We agreed it was better to split, and Kyle moved out.’’
“We cried and blamed each other but vowed to put the kids first. It was amicable but then coronavirus hit and Kyle had to move back in. The first few days were OK.
“We agreed to split bills and share time equally with the kids. I drew up a list of chores for Kyle to do and we share mealtimes. But he got too comfortable too quickly, and now we’re at each other’s throat on an hourly basis.’’
Georgia revealed how much she is struggling during this pandemic as the couple who had just broken up is living again under the same roof. She complained about Kyle’s carefree nature and his habit of spending most of the time on his phone.
“His bed is the sofa and, despite me telling him he has to put away the bedding by 7 am to help with the kids, he is still lying there at 10 am. The lounge smells of his aftershave all the time. I have started Febrezing him to wake him up.’’
“He has a bigger wardrobe of clothes than me. When he moved back he brought 15 boxes of clothes. He is obsessed with rugby and boxing. He’ll spend up to five hours a day watching repeats on the television or on his phone without headphones.’’
“And he spends more time than me in the bathroom. When he asked me to make him a cuppa while he soaked in the bath, I almost lost it.”
She admitted that Kyle is good with their kids and he helps them during their bathtime and bedtime. But as he is now single, he spends most of the time on Tinder to find a perfect match for him.
Georgia says: “We are splitting different lessons, which does help to relieve the stress. He’s good with the kids and we share their bathtime and bedtime routines. But we argue constantly — in the garden so the kids can’t hear.’’
“He can’t escape to the pub or the gym and I can’t go for a coffee or drink with my friends. He’s active on Tinder, now that he’s single, and he’s chatting to other women. I know it’s his right but every smirk when he reads a text makes me growl with anger.”
Kyle also has something to say as he revealed how the couple is at each other’s throats. The funny thing is they even fight over who is going shopping for emergency rations.
He said: “I thought it would be easy, but it’s not. We fight over who gets to go to the shops for emergency rations. I hate the way she chews. It puts my teeth on edge.’’
“She follows me around and cleans everything I touch — all day, every day. If she’s in the kitchen, I am banned. If I go in to make a brew, she starts telling me off for using the wrong mug. I’m not 12. I get the tutting and then the full-blown, Kyle, we need to talk.’’
The poor guy revealed how he is requesting his ex-girlfriend to let him stay in the living room as he wants to have some fun with his friends via FaceTime. “I have asked her to give me the living room for a night a week so I can have a virtual pub with my mates or a FaceTime date night with a girl I’ve been chatting to on Tinder but she explodes. The kids are keeping us from killing each other,” he added.
