Dear Maria Mango:

I am glad to read your clarification regarding what you meant by fighting, which is not really fighting, I suppose. Keep the peace with him best you can. Living in a small space, there  is no place to escape to, if there is distress and conflict between the two of you, no other room to go to so to be alone.

Living in a small apt is really an opportunity like no other to improve communication so to exercise EAR between partners: Empathy, Assertiveness, Respect.

I hope you have a Happy New Year and a good 2019!

* HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too, Mark. Good to read your posts and looking forward to read more from you in the coming year!
