My ‘F45’ husband ‘M47’ has decided that he’s going to work from home. Just decided that he wants to. He’s always had the flexibility to do so but has preferred going in to the office. So in February he said to me “I think I’ll work from home now”. No discussion just started doing it.
So here’s my issue, we are a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 early teen boys) living in a 2x1 house. It is already waaaay too small for us. Now he’s there … working … at the kitchen table because there’s nowhere else to go and on the phone … constantly. He’s a big, loud guy talking ALL DAY LONG.
I can’t handle it at all. I work one day a week and run our household and all the kid’s stuff and now he’s always there. I have no space, no time out, no peace and quiet. My whole routine is affected because he is constantly there.
It is affecting my mental health. He can not understand why it’s a problem and is offended that I feel so strongly about it. I’ve asked him to compromise by going to the office two days a week and he said my attitude was disgusting 😳
Has anyone else been in this situation? How can I explain to him how I feel so that he can understand it from my perspective?
