I think that's a pretty normal experience. If you look at HN threads about remote work, you'll always find a few people saying that they rented offices specifically because they need to be away from their partners to be productive.
I know that my partner tends to feel neglected if I'm there, in the room, concentrating on something, and now I get too anxious about this reaction to go into flow-state around her anyways. So I actually go to the office a lot more than when I was single.
- hycaria 9y agoI always wonder if this sort of inspiration is so one sided in a relationship that people can't understand and accept when/that you're just not mentally available.
- neutronicus 9y agoMy partner definitely also concentrates intensely on work or a project sometimes, and will snap at me for interrupting. She just gets upset about being "ignored", which is basically being in the same room with her and not mentally available (with strict requirements on response latency). Luckily for our relationship, this is triggered by my physical presence, so I can be productive as long as I get out of the house.
