Working from home - ready to murder my wife

I turned to her and said "Y'know, you're the only person I could tolerate living with day after day".

And, whilst not a particularly romantic statement (I'm not known for them), it was entirely true and heartfelt.
That's like the single greatest thing I could say to another person.

In over 2 and a half decades of long relationships (7 years, 5 years, 2x3 years, and 2x 2 1/2 and a couple of half years) there was only girl where I would have felt comfortable living with her day to day in the same flat or house till the rest of my life. Unfortunately after 2 1/2 years we split up for other reasons.

Sorry to hear that. Life does stuff like that.

I do consider myself blessed. I've the usual moans and gripes like anyone. But the major things in life - family, home, career - I've somehow stumbled around and all those pieces have fallen into place. Everything else is minor.

I first met her 18 years and 9 days ago. Proposed within 2 years. I knew she was the one.
She's tolerated me ever since.

It irks me far more than it should that the song is on lies, not appetite and therefore the thumbnail is wrong.
I appreciate that you are annoyed by that!

Oddly enough though they did an Appetite remaster not too long ago-it has that alternate art on the cover with out all of the color on the skulls. It included Shadow of Your Love and all of the tracks from Lies with the exception of One in a Million. Looks like the Youtuber uploaded that version of Used to Love Her.
 
I am a techie geek - I code for a living. I therefore ensure that my network is in tip-top condition. I'm working from home, as is my wife. We at least have separate rooms so that helps to reduce murderous urges. However, it is not enough that I am bugged by morons at work who cannot figure out a fucking password reset system (ffs it's telling you in the fucking email what your username is and the fucking page is telling you that maybe you typed it wrong and maybe you should check the fucking email), I also have to provide fucking technical support for my wife, who is using a corporate laptop on their fucking VPN which I have no access to. She's moaning that the internet is slow but it's perfectly fucking quick for my machine which isn't on a corporate network, so clearly the problem is not with anything I can actually fucking offer support for. But still she fucking moans.

I am ready to murder her with brutality and rage.
Just fuck her.

Dress her up, tie her up, cover in chocolate if you want. Just fuck her.

Trust me.

When I get frustrated with my wife, I think of all the things she has to put up with living with me. That helps me to put things into perspective.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
But still she fucking moans.

@hariseldon , have you tried turning her off and on again?

I'm blessed with a perfect wife. We both work from home all day, in different rooms, in our modest-sized flat. She comes into my room to deliver coffee and a kiss. She's also very technically competent and a determined and capable problem-solver.

However, she has a reasonably large immediate family whereas I have a mom and a sister and that's it. So Christmases are pretty intense for me. I distinctly recall sitting on our sofa in early January one year once all the holiday drama was over and things were getting back to normal. Just the two of us again.

I turned to her and said "Y'know, you're the only person I could tolerate living with day after day".

And, whilst not a particularly romantic statement (I'm not known for them), it was entirely true and heartfelt.

Pain is other people. Living with them is a pretty big gamble.

This is me and my girlfriend. My family is small and we're OK with mailing cards or gifts and having a quick phone call. My GF's family is legit like 50 strong (because they have to include extended family in everything) so every Christmas is like a fucking party from a Baz Luhrmann film and everyone is invited. I'm like damn how many of you are there and why is there so much ceremony? Wake up, open gifts, take pics, and eat. That's all Christmas is to me.

I'm working from home since march and will do it till the end of September (unless my office prolongs home office due to the "second wave") and i get you OP.
Worse even, my wife is on maternity leave and i have a tinny screacher at home and the working conditions are just plain shit. No one from work is pointing it out (because everyone is working from home and kods screaming during calls is normal), but i just can't cope with her nagging sometimes. I understand that the kid needs attention, he sometimes cries or is just pissed about everything, but i can't close my laptop and do everything she needs me to. I know she can do everything alone - life before lockdown proved it.

And don't get me wrong - i do help whenever i can, but because all of it i feel that sometimes you just need a spark to srart a heavy argument...

At least the hate fuck sessions afterwards make up for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I feel ya. Honestly the trouble with being available is that you're available. The wonderful thing about being in an office is that you're only available to the people you're supposed to be available to.

I went into the office on Monday and only 2 other people in the company are bothering - everyone's being such a pussy about it. It was nice to get out of these 4 walls. Still not the full experience obviously because so few are there, but it's better than nothing.

I sadly don't have the luxury to go to the office. The amount of regulations they made (how many people, which desks can be taken, which elevator) is just nuts. To work from the office i would have to register on a list and they decide if i'm an "essential" worker to have the privilige to get free coffee, two screens and a chair that won't fuck up my hip.
I'd rather listen how i leave my shit on the table after i'm done with work 😂
