My partner and I have been self-isolating in a studio apartment for 4 and a half months. I work from home and he works overnights, so my only real alone time is when I'm asleep and oblivious to the world. I honestly was lowkey terrified I would go crazy without my me-time, but we've actually figured out a routine that works for both of us. In a studio, we have no door to close between us except the bathroom, so we utilize that door if we need to but mostly if we want to tune out and ignore the world, we utilize our headphones and just find physical space by spreading out across the stuido. We go on solo walks outside if we really need air and time apart. Honestly, I thought I'd have lots of I'm losing my mind moments but I feel like we're closer and stronger than ever and have a nice balance of together-time vs solo-time. It's crazy when people mention struggling being stuck at home with their family when their home is a multi-bedroom house and the potential for privacy is right there behind the bedroom door, meanwhile I'm literally stuck in one room with another person (and a cat. At the end of the day, we both just feel super grateful to have a roof overhead right now, and there's really a lot to be grateful for in general.

Yea I dont understand the hate. I think they took a risk since they kinda make their relationship public since the start anyway and they just wanna show a human side to them just like they say. The message theyre trying to convey with this documentary is really clear.
I like Merle and Aria as buzzfeed producers trying to work out good contents. If anything, I hate their shippers who put on so much pressure on them. I think the reason why they make this or people complaining buzzfeed milk their relationship too much is because of them. Merle and Aria seem to just wanna show hey, were just like any one of you here I guess. Because we all know they all gonna click it anyway. Like you guys asked for this and now youre complaining about this. Its not the contents that feature them that is cringing, but for a fact theres a demand and push for it and sometimes reading shippers comment treating them like fictional characters is so disheartening. Just my thoughts though.
If anything, I wish them the best and they do deserve a healthy relationship that based on love, care, and support for each other like any other human beings. Not some ship materials people can project on like objects.

Thanks for watching, everyone. This was a great learning experience for us as a couple. The major takeaway from this for us was to OVER COMMUNICATE and allow our emotions to run their course (whether it's through exercise, meditation, screaming into a pillow (seriously, etc. We were happy to document our experience for this video to the best of our abilities to show that there is no one way to feel about what we're all going through right now. Sending you all love and light.

When fighting follow the three questions:
1) what is your significant other upset about
2) why you are upset
3) what can we do to compromise and work together to make sure that moving forward, both will have a better idea on how to communicate without it being aggressive
Any relationship is all about teamwork and willingness to not only look intrinsically but also understanding the needs of someone else

Merle and Aria should really leave buzz feed. So many people who did leave are doing even better now! Michelle Khare, Safiya Nygaard, The Try Guys and so on. Now they're all even better off. I'd like to see Merle and Aria do things that they want to do instead of being forced by buzz feed for entertainment purposes. I'm sure they have fun but they carry a lot of buzz feed on their backs.

I feel like the 5 love languages book would help these two. They have different love languages. His is doing tasks/chores and hers is quality time. But yet they both understand both languages so that good. They got this.

My fiance an I have been together 24 hours for the last 4 months, were both high risk so if we get covid we are more likely to suffer long term problems.
I SWEAR IM GOING TO MURDER HER, but I love her.

They appear to have shelter, food on the table and most importantly their health. Enlightening video, but let's be thankful for what we have amidst these strange times.

I understand she started for herself. this is going a bit too far into their private life and seems to me a bit exploiting them. because they get all the views
