A Facebook user shared her thoughts on the NUS Whispers FB page after her boyfriend wants to break up with her. The reason for the break up was due to her refusing to meet her boyfriend until phase 3 of re-opening.
According to the user, her reason for refusing to meet her boyfriend is because she is trying to protect him. She wants to protect him from contacting COVID-19. When her boyfriend asked why is she still meeting her friends, her reply to him was she practice safe distancing with her friends when they meet up.
Full Story Here:
“My bf and I were together for 3 years and we were planning for bto and marriage until covid came along. We mutually agreed to not meet each other during the circuit breaker period, unlike some other irresponsible couples out there. Soon, phase 2 came and we agreed to continue the no-contact agreement till it’s phase 3.
However, since July, my bf has been pestering me to meet up although we already agreed on meeting during phase 3. He claimed that everyone’s doing so, and it is legal to meet people now so long as the group doesn’t exceed 5 people. But the thing is, being legal doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. I told him I’m protecting both of us from getting the virus.
He then called me a hypocrite since I met up with a couple of close friends, but I told him it’s totally different. When I meet my friends, I keep at least 1m apart from them at all times. If my bf and I meet, we’d definitely hold hands at the minimum. He then claimed that we can socially distance when we meet but that’s definitely a lie. He’s been telling me how he misses embracing me in his arms etc.
Now he says he wants to break up with me, saying I’m insincere and I don’t love him. Why can’t he understand that I’m trying to keep him safe in today’s circumstances? I feel so maligned right now when all I want is both of us to stay healthy till phase 3 starts….”
