1. Pinpoint The Issue
Take a few steps back and weigh what is really bothering you. After checking in with yourself, you might find that the frustration of not leaving the house is behind the pointless squabbles with your partner instead of anything to do with them.
2. Speak To Your Partner
Getting annoyed with them in the current situation is understandable. After an argument, don't expect to sort it out immediately. Give them and yourself breathing room. A little space between you is healthy, especially when you're feeling cooped up. When you are calm and they are in the right mindset, then you can talk.
3. Be Honest
Don't bottle up anger because at some point or another, it will come out. Express your feelings to them in a calm matter and take their opinion into consideration. Honesty and authenticity are essential for a healthy relationship.
4. Feel Your Feelings
Allow your partner and yourself to feel whatever feelings are present, whether it is sadness, frustration or irritation. Be empathetic and remember that everyone does not emote in the same way.
