How is YOUR DP/H getting on your nerves in this lockdown?

Mine is playing video games all day and sometimes well into the night. The other day he came to bed at 3am and woke me up. We've not DTD once since the lockdown because his computer is sooooo much more important/interesting than his DW.

He's forgotten how to cook Hmm we used to take it in turns to make dinner but now I seem to be doing everything. When I asked him to cook the other day he managed to cock it all up.

He's also not replaced the toilet paper on 3 separate occasions Angry

Tell me I am not the only one questioning my marriage

Also in the minority in that lockdown has confirmed he's utterly the one for me ❤

Mine has inexplicably turned into a character from a TV show. Everytime he enters a room he declares “Oi, Oi, Oi”. It’s weird and annoying.

I’ve just burst out laughing at this.

Mine is lovely, I'm pregnant and he's bringing me breakfast in bed sometimes and making me tea.
BUT I cannot handle him not acknowledging the things I say! Genuinely feels like he's ignoring me but then he will do something that lets me know he's heard me. But just SAY something!!!

My DP was great for the first 15 days or so of the lockdown (we're staring week 4 now), but has gradually been getting worse. He just doesn't seem to get that it's shit for everyone. He's nitpicking at DD and has started with me. He's worse on a Sunday for some reason. The last two Sunday's have been crap with him being really moany about stupid insignificant things. He stormed off to bed last night because I called him up on it and he said me and DD are being annoying. Funny that as we aren't doing anything, he's just being a miserable twat who is getting grumpy over the smallest things. I just don't get people who can't see the bigger picture and think
how their behaviour affects those around them. If I feel I'm being a bit snappy/moody I get myself in check as I know no one wants to be stuck in a house walking on eggshells around a stroppy person. It's really selfish behaviour and it's really getting on my nerves Angry

I'm the annoying one in our relationship as I dont stop talking. Luckily our 3mo is acting as a lightning rod for this as I can blabber to him instead, so we are getting on well.

No. We’re having a great time together. Both furloughed. Getting loads of jobs around the smallholding done. We’re lucky in where we live, so that helps.
