I swear my husband was not this annoying when I married him.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Literally began questioning whether me and my partner are a good fit because of the quarantine. I’m beyond annoyed. Lmao.
How does he feel about you?

SAD1 - that’s great but only works if you have enough space to have separate spaces for such things. We have one tv (and one desk. I’m getting crazy working on the couch while he’s been mostly using the desk)

Thankful I’m divorced and have a dog. I’m happier and life is more peaceful.

I was just about to make a post on this. Im sick of being quarantined with my wife 24/7 lool.
Lool I live alone and I’ve been very okay by myself. But then again I’m a homebody so that might be part of the reason. But thanks for feeling for us, as I also wish I could physically hug someone from time to time
I’m soooo happy to be single right now 😌 haven’t even gotten sick of quarantine yet
Dittooo !

Wife and I have a minor fight everyday about something so this is going to be great for our marriage. We are both consultants :)

Yes I realized how it’s getting to me when I got frustrated last night that a pot was out directly in the fridge (instead of putting the food in Tupperware). Minor issue, normally wouldn’t care but the quarantine is making things like that seem a bigger desl
Meanwhile I haven’t seen my SO in weeks and wish we lived together :(

Before this, my husband and I barely ever saw each other so I’m actually happy spending time with him. Of course, we keep conversations to a minimum during the work day so we can stay focused, but we eat lunch and dinner together and just hang out after work. It’s quite nice.

I have never been happier to live alone in my life.
I live alone too. Pandemic or not, life’s good when you don’t have someone bitchin’ at you.

What’s causing people here to be so annoyed at their SO?
Rising Star
I think it’s just for me having more time to focus on the dumbest things around the house I wouldn’t care about if I could escape it more regularly. And him being the only person there to hear that frustration or get blamed for it... I noticed as same trend with former roommates before this whole thing - the ones who were in the apartment more and stayed home more got more annoyed by little things (dishes in sink, cleaning differences, etc) where as people out of the apartment more didn’t have time to think about things as much and didn’t have them sitting in front of their face everyday. Same thing here
We are actually doing ok but there are little things here and there that would never be an issue normally.
My wife is divorcing me right now and I could not agree with most of you less about being annoyed with your SO. I wish mine would fight with me. At least then there would be some emotion instead of constant indifference. Use this time with your SO to rekindle your relationship. You're not divorced yet and got married for a reason. Find and remember that reason and enjoy your spouse again instead of constantly complaining about insignificant annoyances. I would wager you would regret a divorce, and those that say they don't I would imagine are just fooling themselves to bury the pain. Enjoy what you have because divorce us awful.

Sorry you feel that way. My divorce was a blessing and it’s a right to have that option for those who are sincerely miserable.
Never understood how my parents have run a PR business together for more than 25 years...no separation of home and work.

Respect. I would be serving life for prison. Without a doubt.
