I'm 19, from Australia, and have been in a relationship for nearly eight months now.
The coronavirus is causing large-scale shutdown of society in Australia, possibly to the point of a lockdown. People are freaking out everywhere. One of those people is my girlfriends sister.
Now this is a complicated situation. My gf (18) was kicked out of home, causing her to move in with her eldest sister, and her sisters ex-partner. She has paid rent the entire time she has been there, and is officially on the new lease. We haven't moved into a place by ourselves yet because we just can't afford it. The ex-partner is moving out at the end of the week (very important info). I've spent like the past two weeks there, assisting with jobs around the house, moving some large things before he goes. But the other day, the sister was told that there were a number of confirmed cases in our town. She rang my gf and told her that I needed to go home because of this, and she'd be limiting movement outside of the house. She got home from work and told my gf that she wanted to spend time alone with her ex-partner before he moved, which was a large reason of me being kicked out. She'd originally told us she didn't know when I'd be allowed back, but later said that I'd be able to come back in a few days. Today she said that only her, my gf, and the ex-partner would be allowed at the house until this whole thing is sorted out, and they'd only be able to leave for essentials. My gf was told it was at her own risk if she wanted to come and see me, which she obviously does. She can't stay at either of my houses, due to my parents not allowing it (ugh), and I doubt her sister would allow her.
I just don't know how to deal with this. We might only have to wait weeks until we get to spend time together, alone, sleeping together, and all the intimacy that comes along with it, but we could also be waiting months, nobody knows. Due to my age, and relationship experience, I really don't know how to handle this. We both want to spend every second with each other, and we have done so for the past month or so, which makes being apart so much harder.
