Default How to work and live together?

I am getting married next month and my fiance and I have a unique situation. We work together in an industry that requires we move about every 6 months. This means that we aren't really in one spot long enough to make friends and the close friends we do have are hundreds of miles away. We spend practically every moment together, whether it's with work or just hanging out. Recently it has become more difficult to enjoy our time together and we have been snapping at each other more often. Any suggestions as to how we can keep our jobs and keep our relationship happy and strong without getting on each other's nerves?

do you have n e other interests. i always think it important to have time to yourselves as well as together. i suggest dont think to far ahead of yourselves. talk to eachother. try not to row and have open discussions. also have quiet time . i think take things day by day . i know in your line you have much to think about , especially on the go , as you are. but and this is just my opinion. dont go n e one year without a holiday. i know u move. but even takin time out without going n e where is just as important.
you just have to adjust to eachother. we all have to change in order to progress.

Hubby and I have been living and working and raising our blended family (six kids!) together for three years. We have slipped into a working and roommate kind of relationship. I hate it. I don't think I would do it this way again.

this happened to me and my H. we didnt work together though, but we've moved three times in two years.

Just get out and do something away from each other. My H goes and plays basketball, video games while I go to the river, the gym, or to the spa.

Yep, you both will need hobbies and some time apart. It's hard to be around someone 24/7 and not get agitated, that includes kids.
