Venice has 409 bridges!
This is the one I see when I open the shutters of the bedroom window in the morning.
If you are staying at home with someone for an extended period of time it's probably a good idea to talk about how you might cope! This was how we discovered that Heather crosses bridges when she comes to them, and I (ever the grasshopper) jump over every bridge in sight and back again.
Some bridges, and some people, are just puzzling.
I'd say do talk about it. Explain how you feel. Ask for what you need. Negotiate a little. Give and take. Give each other space (though how some households can manage that is hard to imagine!) Respect the differences between you. There's probably no right or wrong way. But ways must be found to reduce the stress, and to make sure you are still speaking to each other at the end of this.
It's hard.
Be kind.
What would your advice be? Do you have any tips to share?
Here are some ideas from Katrina of The Body Toolkit.

Only two of Venice's bridges have no parapet. Scary, but you can still get to the other side.
So will we!
