Ever noticed how your partner can be perfectly fine at 9 a.m., slightly annoying by lunch and somehow very irritating by 6 p.m., even though they have barely done anything wrong? You are not necessarily falling out of love. Sometimes, you are simply spending too much time in the same space without enough mental breathing room. When couples work from home, spend weekends indoors or have fewer opportunities to socialise separately, everyday habits become much more visible. That can make tiny annoyances feel surprisingly huge. The problem is not necessarily being together. It is having togetherness without enough personal space, variety or independence.
