Pretty simple stuff actually, not relationship threatening.
Hello everyone,
Compared to some of the posts I have had in the past I am actually asking something rather mundane now. For those (most people) who don't remember my infernal username my fiance and I have had some rocky times in our relationship before. We have almost split up a few times and have both had to deal with some personality issues (I get extremely jealous, and have some anger management issues she gets depressed). But we have made things work and honestly have a pretty good relationship and understanding of one another at this point. We know what we are in for with one another basically.
Here's my little "problem." We moved in together about eight months ago and things have been ok. We have gotten along fairly well and I really can't complain. As of the past two months though things have gotten...strange. We live in a college town and so far have been living off our financial aid/loans. Trust me, we have looked for work but our schedules have turned away more than one employer. Anyhow since we live a rather low income life we don't get out very much at all and if we do it's for something necessary like bank deposits, grocery store, etc. If we go to the nearby city we do it together. If we go to the store we do it together. If we visit family we do it together. If we sit at home we are in the same room. If we go job hunting we do it TOGETHER.
Lately she has been getting pretty critical of all my little fidgeting habits. I do try to keep it to a minimum but find it very difficult to not move in some way, shape, or form. I have simply stopped talking to her. We can be in the same room and not say a word to each-other for three hours. She grates on my nerves by being annoyed with my fidgeting and I snap at her. Then she snaps at me for snapping at her and so on. She asks me why I don't talk to her and when I think about it I honestly don't know. But "I don't know" is the forbidden answer around her and we start the snapping again. It doesn't get particularly serious, but it gets tiring for both of us.
From all this information would it be safe to assume that we simply spend too much time together? More or less all day every day togetherness can be stifling, or so I would guess. This is something I can pretty easily fix. I have lakes and hiking trails literally a half hour's bike ride away. I don't mind going and doing that at all except feeling a little bad leaving her home. So thoughts? I'm tired of bickering like an 80 year old duo, you know?
