"Things have devolved to the point of weekly fighting..."
"I’m resentful..."
"which my partner interprets as lack of respect"
And the kicker:
"I’m sick of fighting over this and resenting my partner for controlling me."
COVID may have exposed the problem, but the problem is deeper than COVID. There's a distinct lack of understanding, communication, and respect in this relationship. I suspect that if we were to peek inside their house we would find more gas lights than the downtown district of San Diego.
