You might think that you should feel relaxed and content at home. Most people do. You should come home and recharge your batteries after long days at work and other challenges that come up from time to time in your life.
If you are in conflict with your partner, though, your home life will likely not feel very comfortable. Instead of recharging your batteries, eating good meals, working on your hobbies, and getting some sleep, you might spend time arguing with the person who means the most to you in the world.
We will talk about how your home life can change if you do not see eye to eye with your partner in the following article.
You Might Fight About the Smallest Things
Divorce can be an emotionally challenging and complex process, and most people don’t want to go through with it unless they feel they have no other choice. If you’re married, you likely feel you want to do everything possible to avoid that nuclear option. Even if you’re not married, but you’re living with a partner, you probably don’t want to uncouple unless you reach a total impasse.
If you and your spouse or partner aren’t getting along, though, you might find that you’re fighting about the smallest things. Maybe you are arguing about whether you should keep the shower curtain open or closed or how to place the silverware in a drawer.
Picking at each other over tiny details reveals in a microcosm how you’re not getting along. Maybe you can’t stop doing it, though.
You Feel Exhausted When You’re at Home
You should rest when you’re at home, but you can’t do that unless you relax. If you and your spouse or partner can’t get along, though, you probably can’t do that.
If you sleep together in bed, you might feel the hostility radiating from them as you lie beside each other. You might fight over the blankets and pillows, pulling them toward you while the other person pulls them back. You may reach a point where you or your spouse or partner sleep on the couch.
There’s No Physical Contact
You will also probably notice that there’s no more physical contact. If you’re in conflict, you likely won’t hold hands or kiss each other. You won’t snuggle up to each other or touch each other for comfort like you usually would.
Humans crave physical contact. If they don’t get it, that hurts them emotionally and psychologically. If you don’t get any physical contact, it can shorten your life expectancy.
Your home life might change in all of these ways if you and your spouse or partner can’t get along. You must reconcile, or perhaps you will go your separate ways permanently.
Either way, you need to figure out the solution. Living in this strange in-between space isn’t healthy, and the situation might preoccupy you at all times till you resolve it.
