[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both DH and I work from home. We were always hybrid before the pandemic, but now are 100% remote.  I think I'm going to head back into the office.  I am so so so so so so sick of being in the house with him, even though 90% of the day we are separated. This is too much together. I'm getting resentful of his very presence and this is really not a healthy way to feel becuase he is a great guy and does not deserve this hostility I feel.

This has me mildly concerend for retirement.  I think I will need to have a low key passion job when I retire. No way can we be 24x7 together, I will crawl out of my skin.[/quote]

Why are you working AT home everyday? Go somewhere. Do it outside, at a park, at a library, at a coffee shop, on a train. Anywhere.[/quote]

Unfortunately I need very high speed internet to run the applications I use, public spaces usually are too loud for my calls (I’m on video calls probably 4hrs a day) and need silence.

I live 10min from the office so I’ll just be going in. [/quote]

I don’t think people get what you’re saying. I have like 4-5 meetings per day. I can’t work from a coffee shop. You can go to an office so it’s not even applicable.

Anyway, my husband works a hybrid schedule and I’m home every day, but I am feeling depressed never leaving the house so I’ve started to go in every so often. Like a few times a month. No one is there, but it has helped my mood. He works nearby so we meet for lunch, and it feels like prepandemic normalcy. Not everyone likes the same thing. You have been home together and you’re annoyed but you haven’t been calling lawyers. It’s okay to realize this setup doesn’t work for you, and I truly believe it could be the situation and not some deeper issue. You don’t like being home all the time. There’s nothing wrong with it. Go in like once a week. See how it feels. You can always go back to working from home every day, and then maybe you’ll remember the good points more.[/quote]
