When couples use GTD systems that create relationship tension

My partner and I both swear by GTD but we've created this weird tension where we're constantly capturing tasks that involve each other without actually talking about them first, and now our individual systems are full of resentment disguised as next actions. We're getting things done but we're not getting along.
