山东省潍坊市五县市2019-2020学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题
The outbreak has forced people to work from home and given many couples the chance to see each other at work. But, after all, living together and working together are not the same.
⒈ Put the problem on the table
Knowing what your partner does is one thing but seeing them in action is another. "We are forced into the intimacy (亲密), not just with spouses (配偶), but also with kids or whoever else is in the home," said Karen Bridbord, a psychologist in New York City. Talk about any insecurities you may have whether it's participating in a video meeting or being eavesdropped on and what you need in terms of a work environment. Then create a schedule and set boundaries when it comes to separating work life and personal life.
⒉
You might be learning that your spouse is fan of all the office cliches or holds too many meetings—but it's best to keep that to yourself. Even if you think your intentions are good, don't offer any unsolicited（主动提供的）feedback when it comes to your partner's' work style. And don't mistake complaining as an opportunity to criticize. "Even if a partner is complaining about work, you shouldn't see that as an invitation or opportunity to provide critical feedback," said Anthony Chambers, a chief academic officer. ""
⒊ Don't complain a lot
These working conditions aren't ideal for many people right now—especially if you are juggling kids and other care giving responsibilities . However, try not to keep score of who is doing what around the house, or whose work is more pressing.
A. Provide an inside look.
B. Allow them to complain and you just listen.
C. Avoid treating each other like colleagues.
D. This can leave you feeling overburdened and exhausted.
E. The first step in making this situation work is to talk about it.
F. How to do with this "new colleague" to maintain a harmonious relationship?
G. In this way, you're more likely to arouse sympathy from the partner which will help negotiate boundaries.
