Anyone else constantly feel smothered

[yarncakes]

I honestly am starting to feel smothered with DH WFH. I am also working and I love it but when I am home, it's go go go again. My DH always walking around, complaining how boring it is. He is always asking me what to do, where to go, he calls me every 5 mins when he is downstairs and I am trying to sort things out, like the laundry and my DS bedroom as well. I have MH issues and the only way I can get on with life right now is by keeping busy but I cannot stand being smothered and picked at every 5 minutes. Does anyone else feel like this or just me? Also completely gone off sex as well. The thought of it just makes me shudder. I feel terrible because I used to love sex but now, there's no enjoyment at all in this life. I just want to be left alone in peace.

I’m not in this situation but I honestly was thankful that I didn’t live with anyone during Covid for this reason. Someone at home with me all day for a year into of being needy, whiney, and bored would have riven me insane. But then I’m an introvert so too much togetherness irritates me under normal circumstances.

I’m sorry you’re going thru this, I hope it gets better for you.

I think everyone is feeling like this, I’m a lone parent to 4 and being stuck in the house constantly with no break is extremely difficult, on the other hand I do wish there was another adult around as I miss adult company and having someone to speak to

Want to swap?! On a serious note I am also very introverted. I need my own space for my own sanity but I'm just getting no space at all. Even if I go out while DS is at school I am being pestered.

Makes me feel awful for even saying it but as I said before being introverted it is much harder for me to cope with it. If he didn't bombard me or follow me about all the time then it probably wouldn't be so bad.

Yeh I think whatever side you are on is hard as there are people living completely alone that are extremely lonely and depressed, it’s hard all round. Is he always this clingy??

can you not tell him you need some space.?

My poor introverted DH always WFH and is now invaded by my and 3 older teen girls.

He shuts himself in his office, I am in mine and we occasionally bump into each other during the day.

Yeah DH is starting to get on my tits. I don’t go into his office and tell him about my day and ask for a hug and tell him inane colleague drama. So why does he do the same when I’m busy homeschooling? And we have a tiny kitchen and he’s always in my way. Just bugger off. I offered to get him a kettle etc for his office but I agree that’s harsh and he should be allowed in his own kitchen 😄 bloody irritating me though.
