6 months at home together and Jo told me off today for brushing my teeth too 'aggressively'. I also got barked at for not opening the mustard correctly.
in addition, she did not speak to me last night because i did not get her the cornetto’s that she wanted when i went for the weekly shop. I did point out to her that they were not on the list, a list that she wrote. still my fault.
There was one time where she got furious because I was making a lot of noise with the ice in my drink and the noise I made licking my lips with each sip, and i had squeezed in too much orange in my Old fashioned.
we seem to be on about a 4 day cycle before domestic event horizon erupts.

Mrs Boston works at a senior level in healthcare, she was dispatched to Europe some three months ago to work on the Covid. Truthfully, this pandemic has been one of the most untroubled, relaxing events in the last thirty two years(of marriage).
I read DD's OP to wife and son last night. Lots of smiles...
I am loving being around them both; even found myself missing the boy when he went back to school to inevitably bring C-19 back to us in the next few weeks.
She, on the other hand, is not so enamoured...
Still, as she is entering into the menopause, I can save on heating in the next couple of months as long as she can get a flush on demand...
Many of the threads are familiar here. I park the car near a pothole, she drives it into the pothole - my fault. She spills water from a bottle - my fault for filling it too much. Her phone runs out of memory - my fault for not downloading her photos. She can't find photos on the PC - my fault for not downloading them in line with her unpublished guidance. She can't find tools when they are in the toolbox (logical place for tools?) - my fault for putting them in a "strange" place. Oh, and the Titanic - apparently me too.
Immensely strange logic.
Still, when I met her QPR was a well established Prem team just entering into the third season of the new Premier League and I put our general crapness since down to meeting her. That's perfect logic, isn't it?
Only problem I have Is Mrs is WTH, we live in a two hour two down so her office is he dining table which is in the sitting room, her job involves lots f confidential phone calls so if I’m on day off or an early shift I have to watch tv with subtitles and no volume.

We have both found the current situation depressing and our spirits have sunk.Getting on fine though with the odd blip.Glad the pubs have opened again but both finding it hard to be positive.

In order to WFH I've got a two screens and a desktop PC brought in from work, at the start I was downstairs in the living room/ dining room while my mrs was on furlough.
Got fed up with having the PC in the living space 24-7 so moved into the spare bedroom, mrs come off furlough and I didn't want to go back to having work life in the living space so invited her to join me in the spare bedroom. Bit of a squeeze but not too bad....until we're both on meetings. Then she accuses me of shouting and I accuse her of shouting, generally can't hear my meeting when she's speaking and vice versa. If we're both in meetings at the same time it's a nightmare. So I liberate a headset from work for her to try and assist with this, still no improvement. Apparently it's my fault for having long meetings!
As others have said I look forward to going back into the office for a day or two a week.

Hate wearing them and even with an extension the tv is too far away from the sofa
Shop around though mate - makes a big difference in close quarters. There are a few decent cordless (bluetooth) options around, I know Sennheiser do one.

Arguing is the root of all my co-living problems. I've found that some of the women in my life are/were fond of arguing. Sometimes it's a reflex thing, sometimes they actually think that "a good argument is good for us".
I refuse to argue. I just don't do arguments and I don't do drama. At the beginning of any relationship I'm very honest about my list - I don't ever argue, I don't want to be a father and you can't support Chelsea, Kerry GAA or Fianna Fáil.
I find it's the lack of arguing that causes the most problems. I realise it's an infuriating trait that I have but it's non-negotiable.
Her: "We need to talk about this" (we really don't need to talk about "this", as this is almost certainly dishwasher-related but anyway...) Her: "We need to talk about this" Me: "Ok, but you're arguing not talking" Her: "I am NOT" Me: "You are, and now you're arguing about arguing"
I go for a walk.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
great thread - it been ok mostly although she hates the working from home thing and it does occasionally get tense and you have no idea why. A mate , also QPR , told me when the tension got really bad he went and sat in the park with an emergency 8 pack. He said after a couple of hours you get used to the pitying looks.

Just read this for the first time. Pure quality!
I'm single at the moment but can empathise.

Unfortunately, covid has finished our relationship, and in 7 weeks i will be leaving the family home for good after 13 years in which we've travelled the world together, lived a good life given the circumstances, and generally been very good for each other.
Covid, combined with My current job (on nights) and my previous business getting ripped off has done for us.
Covid was / is truly the last nail in the coffin due to arguing, hours worked both sides, lack of you know what, etc.
All combined with a drying up of the 'women you fancy but shouldnt' thread and no footy, life is shyte right now.
Still, 7 weeks and counting.......... i'm now a stranger in our home. lol

Me: *1 second reaction 0.01% louder than normal*
Her: ‘why you shouting you cnt?’
