I got married about a month ago, and for the entire month my wife has been unemployed, well she is a self employed entrepreneur, but hasn’t gotten any business.
Which is fine, I am patient and I don’t mind supporting the two of us.
However I have to get up for work at 6am, while my wife sleeps in so she goes to bed later than me.
What she does almost every night is watch tv with the volume on. I have to repeatedly ask her to turn the volume down which she will do, however having to do this negotiation every night means I have to stay up longer.
Additionally so that she can watch her tv and it doesn’t bother me too much, I wear a sleep mask and ear plugs.
This is fine and I’ve adapted, however last night she started wrapping Christmas gifts in our room while I was trying to fall asleep, and when I asked if she could do it tomorrow, because the noise of paper cutting and scotch tape pulling was keeping me up, she got lividly angry.
I didn’t want to argue so I tried my best to just wait till she was done so I could sleep.
Am I the asshole?
