Cabin fever - the negative feeling that develops between two people forced to live together in a remote location.

It's not always smooth sailing.
You'll aways have your ups and downs.

(By the way, that's not my understanding of cabin fever.)

When you are confined in one space for a while and you are feeling the urge to be out in the open, to run around outside, etc. You are bored and restless.

I don't have ANY association of building negative feelings towards the people you are confined with.

Cabin fever is more than just being bored and restless. I think the term originates from mountain man fur trading days of the 1800's. Two trappers would be isolated from civilization for many months at a time. They would get on eachother's nerves to the point that one would murder the other.

Such murders have been known to happen.
