Living with anybody, whether that be a roommate, child, or romantic partner is bound to cause difficulties somewhere along the line. The reality is, we all have different thresholds of what we consider to be an acceptable way to live and others that we live with are not always going to maintain them as they should. It’s inevitable that there are going to be annoyances and misunderstandings.

Still, there are always going to be those times that sting more than the others. Whether it comes from some kind of added stress or simply reaching the end of your patience with somebody, domestic disputes can become big issues if not handled correctly. It is up to those involved to think them through and try not to overreact, or burden the other person with more than they can handle. This can be a delicate balance to maintain, especially in circumstances that deviate from the norm.
