When roommates retreat to separate routines after small conflicts

My roommate and I used to cook elaborate meals together and try weird recipes, but after a few kitchen disasters and some tense moments about cleaning up, we've retreated to our separate meal routines. Now we barely interact except to be polite about refrigerator space, and I miss the chaos of cooking together even though it was sometimes stressful.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Minor friction has caused both people to choose isolation over working through the messiness of sharing space, eliminating both conflict and connection.
