I don't know about you, but this is the longest my husband and I have gone without getting into a argument. Forced to be together forces us to behave?

Isn’t it sad that it took a pandemic to see this? As much as I hope this ends sooner rather than later, part of me wants it to last a bit longer to give us a chance to really revisit our priorities a bit.

I’m with you. My husband and I have been very pleasant to each other. Lol

Yea I thought I’d kill him after a week but we’ve been getting along great. He’s stepped up in the childcare/housework department impressively since daycare closed and our housekeeper stopped coming. I feel like we’re the closest we’ve ever been to a truly equal partnership.

Same here 🤣

My wife and I have kind of tired ourselves out with bickering. Initially it was bad (just silly little things) but now we’re chill.

I moved from the co-study space to the guest room to work. Need my space.

Does anyone have family members who constantly demand money because they feel like you’re rich now because you’re a lawyer? I’ve always wanted to be in a position to help my family but we all live in the high COL city so my salary doesn’t carry me as far as it would elsewhere. I’ve given a detailed summary of all of my expenses yet every month one family member in particular comes to me for rent money (not some, the full amount, and they refuse to get a job). It has become quite the burden.
