What do you do again? A new survey found that 46% of respondents said they had no idea what their partner did for work – until they were isolated at home together.
Having to stay at home is tough on everyone, but it’s particularly tough if you are single and live alone. Even CBS This Morning anchor Gayle King can relate. In a recent interview, she talked about how being single during these uncertain times is “daunting.” She said the reason this is so scary is because “there’s no end in sight. That’s what’s so troubling about this.” She says it’s hard that she can’t visit her grown kids or her best friend Oprah. “Just the thought that I don’t even know when I will see them [her children] in person is upsetting. I don’t know when Oprah and I will be able to visit is upsetting. So, all the people that I really cherish the most, I don’t know when that is going to be,” she said. “That said, you know I sit here and, knock on wood, healthy … people are dealing with a whole lot worse, and I don’t minimize that.” (The Grio)
