Thank you for your input.

We've gone on vacations or had periods of time where we would spend a lot of time living in the same space, however I know that it's different as it isn't our space, we don't have to deal with the work grind on a daily basis either. I am hoping that the daily frustrations and anxieties we experience won't cause friction between the two of us.

I do think we can positively cohabitate, but I don't think either of us handles change particularly well.

But, I'm really glad to hear you think this is a solvable problem. I don't like feeling frustrated and will shut down if I feel like I am getting frustrated with them when I'm only trying to help. But they can be very stubborn, and often won't accept my help. The difficult conversations have been happening more than they used to (which is mostly not at all) I just hope that they continue to feel more productive as we have them.
