Anyone else?

Me and my husband are in a very rocky part of our lives. I have anxiety, which has been exacerbated since the PANDEMIC. I used to be able to go out and have fun with people but after a year of isolation, with literally just me and my husband, I don’t have a desire to go out anymore. Actually, it gives me absolute panic. I can’t go out and drink like I once did, or literally enjoy anything.

Husband, well he was diagnosed with depression during the pandemic. He also doesn’t have a real desire to get out of the house. Barely enough to eat properly or get dressed. 

Anyways, with both of us struggling with mental problems, we also are confined to a basement where we live. We have a house being built and it won’t be ready until February 2022. We have no way to escape each other. I can hear him in the bathroom, that’s how close everything is…

ANYWAYS, we’ve been fighting a shit ton. It’s 100% due to not having space while also dealing with mental illness. He suggested him going to stay with his dad for a week or so to get his head cleared and we come back together after.

That freaked me out. Apart of me does not wanna separate cause I’m scared he’ll learn to live without me and enjoy the freedom of not having a wife on your ass constantly. I’d be stressing the whole time he’s cheating or consider leaving me. But on the other hand, I feel like we really could benefit from some space.. we fight all the damn time. It’s always over the most petty bullshit that’s why I don’t think it’s real issues rather than no space.

Has anyone else felt this way? Like a break/space would benefit their relationship but also scared it would be the beginning to the end? How do I work past this?

Someone help!!!
