[quote=Anonymous]OP, I haven’t read the whole thread, but I do empathize a bit. I’ve worked from home >10years, and DH started around the start of COVID. Aside from that, he used to travel extensively and stopped. I’m an introvert and really enjoy time to myself,a sun our relationship had really been built on “absence makes the heart grow fonder” as we did have so much time apart in the first 10 years.

He’s bored working from home and lumps around the house half the time, or loves to come to just hang and chat with me. I often work in the kitchen so I can quickly do tasks while I’m working, which reduces the workload after hours. He doesn’t help with the chores, but instead just hangs around surfing the web or whatever. As time goes on, it’s getting harder to get him to leave the house for *anything*.

I used to like walking at lunch or similar but now I get “where are you going/ what are you doing / do you really have to do that now?”. He wants to have adult time in the middle of the day, which is nice when it fits into my schedule, but it’s becoming almost a requirement I for that in, in place of my walk or time out of the house and it’s no longer exciting.

I don’t think he’s actually happier working at home. I think he fed on the excitement of being in the work environment, getting dressed, etc. Now he just seems aimless, frustrated and on edge all the time, and laziness is begetting laziness. He obsesses over certain things, while not doing others.

So, I get it, OP. I’m just not sure of what the answer is.
