I lived alone for four years in my 20s and got quite comfortable, I loved it. But I reluctantly had to move back into a houseshare a few years ago because I got made redundant and ended up taking a job in London. Although I got on with my housemates, I hated living in a shared house, it caused me so much anxiety. I was just desperate to live alone again. Six months ago I moved in with DP which I thought I'd be OK with, but I'm really struggling to get used to living with someone else again. We've been together for 2.5 years and get on really well, usually have a lot of fun together.
Hes a very kind, caring, considerate man. But I can't help getting annoyed at him all the time for invading my space (which to him, and probably most people, is just normal interaction with his partner he lives with!). He always interrupts me when I'm in the middle of something like reading or listening to a podcast, doing yoga or watching something, and I have to stop what I'm doing. I'm now on edge every time I go to do something, worried that I'm going to get interrupted at any moment, and that I won't get to do the things I'd like to. Obviously it's tricky anyway at the moment being with someone 24/7 in a cramped flat.
Anyone else have the same issue? Any advice?
