It’s driving me crazy. Partner on phone, playing videos and games while the TV is running some YouTube reaction stuff.
I wear noise cancelling headphones all day at home because it’s just too much. The volume is so high I can hear it through a closed door. My PC is in the same room as the TV and I can’t even concentrate on a tutorial on how to do some editing stuff.
Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.
Anyone in a similar situation?
Why does he not use those headphones? It is generally accepted practice to make an effort to be quiet when you need noises, not make an effort to endure someone else’s crap.
So I’d say the responsibility is solely on his shoulders to stay fucking quiet. Why not blast all that noise to a headset? Also, depression doesn’t factor into this. If he keeps bringing that up as an excuse you need to address that.
I agree with you, except your use of “his.” OP only used the term partner.
Fair enough
