Yeah its called 'submarine disease', usually visible after +-1 month of continuous travel / any other way spending 100% time together. People become more irritated by small things that usually wouldn't be an issue.
It happens much more often than doesn't, not only in couples but also among friends. The cure is simple - spend at least few days apart. Not so easy in more dangerous countries. Rather plan ahead with this in mind.
On the other hand, it brings people much more together - backpacking 6 months in india brought us together more than many married couples after 10 years.
- mordechai9000 7y agoI've worked in a remote location with a small group of people. I found that small annoyances and minor personality traits both become greatly amplified. In this situation, we didn't have the benefit of a shared mission or sense of purpose. It was just a job, and a more or less random group. The one thing we had in common was that we were all in a place in life where we were willing to take a job in the middle of nowhere for months at a time. Some people were there for an adventure, some for money, and some to get away from their problems. It turns out, their problems followed them.
