BF and I got into a bit of an argument last night and I wanted to hear people's takes on it. I feel like lately, especially during the week, when we're home together, we don't really spend that much time together.
Basically, we've settled into this routine: he comes home from work, makes dinner, we eat dinner and talk about our days. Some days we'll go for a walk or run after dinner, but most days, I'll either read, watch tv, or go online. He does the same. Since for the most part, we can't stand each other's tv choices, we generally are not really doing these things together. I mean, one of us will be on the laptop or reading a book, the other will be watching tv. We always walk our dog at least once together every night. Last night was particularly bad because I was watching the Bachelorette while he played Starcraft 2 for two hours.
I don't know. I'm freaking out a bit about law school and worried that if we ignore each other now, it's only going to get worse with the amount of work and stress I'll have. Is it normal to be home with your SO and not necessarily spend as much time engaging with them in some way?
I talk (and cried) to BF last night and told him exactly how I felt. He agrees and says we can work on it, but it has to be an effort on both of our parts.
What are your thoughts on this?
**As a completely unrelated side note, during our argument, it came out that BF was going to propose on the 4th of July, but didn't because my cousin got engaged 2 or 3 days before. Now he doesn't know how he's going to do it. Le sigh.
