miss independent
My partner and I moved in to a new house together 3 weeks ago, after dating for 6 months. It's somewhat comforting to see that other couples are struggling to maintain a healthy relationship during this highly stressful time, but we're still both wondering if we made a mistake by moving in together. We argue a lot, usually over stupid things that don't matter.
We both have anxiety under normal circumstances, and the stress of a global pandemic and social distance is weighing on both of us. I feel like this should be the 'honeymoon' phase of our relationship, but it doesn't feel like that at all.
Maybe our conflicts are directly related to stress and social distance. I'm an extrovert and have always been pretty independent; I never imagined we would be spending nearly every waking moment together, and that's been tough.
