on top of each other

My husband and I are arguing about his desire to work from home. He has an office job that he can accomplish remotely, and by working at home, it saves him a 30-minute commute each way.

Those are all great arguments. However, I don't want him working from home. I have to admit that the big reason is simply because I want him to get out of the house more. He rarely leaves unless it's with the kids and me. Does that make me a terrible wife?

I work a part-time job, also with a 30-minute commute, that allows me to be home in time for the kids' school bus. In addition, I take the occasional phone meeting from home, but of course, now I have to take those calls in the bedroom, as my husband is occupying the home office.

I've tried to compromise and suggested he work from home two days a week, but he wants at least four. I feel like we are on top of each other all the time and that he is becoming more of a hermit.

on top of each otherとはどういうことでしょうか？よろしくお願いします

be on top of each otherは文字どおり、お互いの上に積み重なるという意味ですが、この場合、「家の中でお互い邪魔になる」という感じですね。

彼がホームオフィスを使ってしまったら、彼女は寝室で電話会議に参加しなければならなくなったりと。。。

互いに互いのことを何もかもよく知っているということです。

あまりにもそれがいつもなので、うっとうしいという話ですね。

be on top of everything/things/etc. と、物事をよく把握していることを言います。
