This line in Russian (in a Yiddish letter) seems to be a saying or proverb of some sort. Any help in translating it would be appreciated. Thank you!

1/31/2023 9:17 PM There are some typos in the original, but it's "Вместе тесно, а врозь скучно" - "Vmeste tesno, a vroz skuchno"
"Together it's too tight, but separately it's boring"

Meaning, when you are together with someone, it's too close for comfort, but if you are too far apart, then you are bored.
