I’m at my breaking point. Am I overreacting?
I’m so frustrated!
So my fiancé and I live together, have a 2 year old together. We both work from home so we are literally together all the time. In the last couple months, I have not had any alone time.
I’m starting to get really bothered because if I want to go to the store, he says he needs to come. If I say I want alone time, he gets mad. If I even want to go watch some girly movie downstairs, he takes it as a personal attack that I don’t want to spend every waking minute with him. I can’t even shower alone. We always do the same thing- work in the same room then sit in the living room together.
I have told him how I’m feeling and he makes me feel so guilty and like I must not love him enough. I just need a breather! We are together all the time and none of my friends want to get together because of Covid so I don’t have many options.
What should I do? I don’t want it to cause a fight every time I ask for a little alone time or space. But I feel myself losing patience more and more. He has a lot of trust issues with me and always has, so I start to feel like it’s more of a way to keep an eye on me thing rather than him just wanting to spend every second together. Either way, I’m exhausted.
