    Ever since my wife and I both started working from home (she joined me about 4 months ago), everytime at a family gathering people are like “wow, how’s that going”, with a smirk like they can’t imagine a worse fate

    Its going great, why wouldn’t it? My wife and I spend more time together, we get to eat lunch together everyday, chat throughout the day, dick off together when we don’t have much on our plates, it’s awesome. Why do so many people stay married to people they don’t actually want to be around?

      Sunken cost probably.

      I’m married, I love my wife, but turns out we share few interests. Am I going to break it off because we have some issues in hopes I can find someone better? Of course not, that would be asinine.

      Some people are lucky and end up with someone who is a perfect fit, others end up with someone who is a good enough fit, others barely fit at all.

        If I can give some unsolicited advice, if you find you don’t have many shared interests, work together to find some more! Or spend more time on the ones you do have

        Interests change and evolve over time, and people discover new interests and passions all the time!

      I worked from home for 2 years by myself and then my girl got a job where she’s mostly working from home too

      I was actually worried because I was so used to being alone but nope. It’s just fine at worst and cool to talk during the day usually

      We don’t get to talk too much or hang out too much but it never feels bad and I’m enjoying it
