So serious lockdown question

[Ziggy]

How many hours do you normally spend with your spouse/gf on a daily basis? Will being cooped up together put stress on your relationship?
I only ask this because over the many years on rdp I've seen plenty of posts that might suggest issues.
Jan and I probably spend a good 90% of our waking hours together so it wouldn't feel so different to us.

 

[Mandelon]

No problem here.

 

[Blancotrabajo]

My chick is solid, we like each other and she keeps it tight

 

[buck35]

That's a nice thing about living on acres of land , lots to do outside. Bad thing is I meet with the chemical guy here shortly and then a trip to the warehouse to pick up what I need.

 

[Carlson-jet]

I will be getting yelled at a hell of a lot more without a doubt.
Practicing my Yes dears right now.

 

[fmo24]

We live in a 40ft motorhome so not much different than any other day. Lol. I do walk a lot more when things get tight in the house though.

I’m doomed. She is driving me crazy

We both are retired. Some initial compromises, but she's also my best friend.
Just have learned to enjoy each day and roll with the punches.

No problem here.

Just don’t complain about what she makes for dinner right? Lol

 

[SoCalDave]

The wifes common interest when confined is much different than mine so I spend most my free time in the garage tinkering around with shit. Keeps both our sanity in check.

 

[TeamGreene]

No issue here kids have been gone for a while now so it's just us and we like each other

LOL, damn straight!!!

I might send my kids to live in the garage.

 

[HNL2LHC]

We spend a bit of time together for the most part. I do have to say that with all that life is throwing at us it is more challenging. This week is Chemo, her setting up to work from home and the end of the world. I am not being the supportive husband that I should be but everyone has their tipping points...right?

 

[t&y]

If I didn't have 4 kids running around we'd probably be naked and all over the furniture... well for the first 45 seconds or so.

Serious note. We each have our spaces and get along great. No issues.

I'll live in your garage Dad.

 

[Rajobigguy]

I've got a pretty well equipped garage and no shortage of projects, I think I'll be OK.

That’s rough, prayers & good thoughts sent your way.

 

[riverroyal]

I need to go to the lake to pick up the Canned ham,,,,,i will need garage time.

That is why I do all the cooking. It ensures that I get what I want.......to put it nicely

 

[HocusPocus]

My wife and I are together almost 24/7. We work together everyday in our business and share a standard size desk, she is on the one side and I am on the other. Very seldom do we ever go anywhere without the other. She is the brains and I am the beau...... OK she is both of those, not sure what I add to the program but it seems to work.

Lol, I was gonna ask if you've learned to love cauliflower rice yet ........but first, I got distracted washing breakfast dishes

Wife + Me = we usually are good
Wife + Me + 8yo daughter = causing stress after 1 day.

we are trying to divide the educational workload between the 2 of us, but my daughter refuses to work with me when mom is in house - causing issues

biggest item = UofHawaii student is supposed to get on plane and return to school. UofH is online until April 13 then back to class. That is adding new stress, since he does not want to follow house rules he had until he went to college

 

[RitcheyRch]

No issues here as well. I had the time off between Xmas and New Years. We didn't kill each other over that time.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Wife may kill me...so if I go dark, I'll thank you all now

She did want me to check fuel for my shop heater though. She figures that's a good place for me to..."decompress". Probably safer for both of us

 

[FreeBird236]

Been married for 47 and retired for 10, she treats me pretty good, shouldn't be any problems as long as I mind.

 

[wettrthebettr]

Not a problem here , I have the Garage (shop) she has the House (kitchen) then we watch a movie together.
This is every day life, We are not on Lock down

 

[LazyLavey]

I've always thought one key to a happy life together is tolerance .... It should come easy

We'll both get a bit edgy being on lockdown... She can't sit still for 20 minutes when the sun's up so I gotta keep her amused somehow

I'll know I'm in trouble when she stops laughing at my jokes

Tell Kate I said hi.

 

[2Driver]

Not much has changed in our lives except ASU cancelled all in person classes the rest of the year. Our son is exiting his dorm for home, as are all the other kids

Im here now and the kids are moving out. kind of weird

 

[crzy2bealive]

No problems here. Maybe I'll get laid more

Sounds familiar. All 3 of ours went through similar. Told them if they wanted to be 100% adult they’re 100% off the payroll. I didn’t even need to list it out. They did the math.

 

[Nordie]

Plenty of garage projects here, but she's for sure my best friend. We do have our own spaces though, and spend time together otherwise.

She did tell me she had a headache last night which was odd, that's never happened before. Should I be concerned, or should I wait for her to chop her hair off to get concerned?

 

[Backlash]

We go together like peanut butter and jelly!

 

[DaytonaBabe]

Friggen tax season is making it so I only see Mr. DB for about an hour each day. I'd like it a lot better if we could be locked up together! Miss that guy...

My tax dudes office closed and had them all work remotely. I was supposed to go up there yesterday.

Being with the wife no problem. Lol

Three kids coupled up? Problem. Lol

Some of his staff have requested to work from home which is a new territory for them. He told me last night he feels like he needs to be there - all I can do is be supportive of his choice, nag about hand sanitizer, give him vitamins, and hope that this will end sooner than later.

She retired some what 5 years ago when we moved to Havasu full time. She got a full time job at the Depot 6 months later!! I think that's telling me something!!

 

[merc_400r]

been getting a lot done in the garage. She doesn't go in their, haha

 

[BUDMAN]

Pretty solid here. We spend a great deal of time together every day. A few more hours each day wink hurt.

 

[brgrcru]

At the house we are perfect , after 31 years . Like most , garage and outside projects . Keep me busy , house chores and cooking keeps her busy .

At the business no way. I work the day bowlers shift , she works the night bowlers shift. Unless she needs me to fix something.

Much like you, we worked together for decades. Lol, at work she always thought I was kind of an asshole but thankfully I usually was capable of removing my boss hat when I got home.

 

[ka0tyk]

We are usually okay but with all that’s going on and the kids being stuck at home restless it’s been testing her patience and she’s been getting a little snappy. Tonight I learned saying “calm down” is not good. Haha.

 

[Bullet28]

Been married for 42 years, no issues really best friends and as we have got older there’s not much to argue about anymore.

 

[Hypnautic]

My only panic purchase was going to be a new home for me—. No joke

Gonna miss my girlfriend—joking
