After spending two weeks in the apartment with my girlfriend, I realize that she really annoys me and I cannot stand her habits. But before this I really liked hanging out with her on Friday nights

Give it a month and if things don’t change then break up you should enjoy spending every second with your significant other.

I think people who say they are happy being around each other 24/7 for several weeks either are happy despite the circumstances and somewhat annoying things of their SO, or they don’t view them as annoying/ care too much about their SO’s habits (in terms of lower your expectations). I think every person has the potential to trigger you at some point, it is just a question of how you deal with it.

After spending 2 week with my husband, I feel I need to look for someone else. So I definitely understand the problem. It hard to be locked down with someone for weeks.

This quarantine will end and you can go back to not seeing each other 24/7

I've felt the same way with mine even before quarantine when we stayed together just for a week... So I might have a bigger problem 😅

Just a thought - have you brought any of this up to her? The humming comment made me laugh. I sure as hell have annoying qualities and my husband is no saint either. But we love each other immensely. We just have adult conversations about what annoys us.

Maybe time to turn over a new leaf 🍃. New girlfriend may be needed.

Lol

Last week I had my first friend separate from his wife during the lock down. I have an Airbnb that he’s now moved into for the next two months 😢

That’s really, Really nice of you!! It’s prob hard to have the conversation virtually and since he’s busy but if you have the time maybe he needs someone to talk to even over the phone or through virtual web cam :(

OP, how you doing? Any updates?

Maybe she’s doing them so that you can break up with her because she doesn’t know how to break up with you. She knows you and knows what buttons to push 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just broke up yesterday.

Haha

Good data. Now, make the change. Lol

That’s called due diligence

Could be worse. Try to imagine what it would be like living in a submarine for months at a time. It would be like being cooped up with 100 significant others.😫

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
