Hi Butterfly
I feel like this conversation between you both has gone to extremes to prove a point.
Have you got noise cancelling headphones? Invest in a really good pair. You can’t hear anything.
My husband works from home and we have a baby. He cannot hear a thing when he uses them.
A good workaround if you are busy working would be if your partner texts you or leaves a voice message on your phone so you can get to it when you are free.
Perhaps the reason he is so intent on escalating this disagreement is because there is no compromise. His intention is coming from a nice place. He’s not trying to use you he’s just an impulsive person that’s part of his ADHD and who he is. Your intention is coming from good place in that you need to take care of yourself and work well.
It was if you don’t leave me alone I will shut myself away from you and not communicate! Just as over the top as him bursting into a room.
He values communication as you value peace during work. Try to respect each other’s values.
Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
