Dear Irene,

This lockdown has my husband “Fred” locked and loaded for a fight! We are in our mid 70s and both have several health issues and so are doing strict self-isolating and not leaving the house except for walking in the neighborhood some days. We have been together for 17 years, retired three years, and usually get along pretty well. Seems like we used to have one or two big fights a year. Now, several months into quarantine, he is often Mr. Curmudgeon and picks a fight every other week or so......Help!
