Dp works in media and records a podcast with some like minded friends. Problem Is, he does it from our bedroom-cum-office on a Monday. Its the second day of 13 hour shifts with another one tomorrow with a 7am start and I want to to to bed, but it's 22.12 and they're still going strong. I've told dp I don't mind him doing it on another night, but Mondays are especially tiring as I still have another day to go, but he says that it's the only evening they can do it. He doesn't want to do it downstairs because apparently the acoustics aren't right Hmm aibu here? I can't even have a fecking shower until they're done because it's right next to the bedroom!

Don't his friends have somewhere they could use?

Highalert · 22/05/2017 22:16

He needs to find somewhere else to do it.I'd be pissed off too.

NapQueen · 22/05/2017 22:18

Yanbu at all unless its My Dad Wrote A Porno in which case shhhhhh

HildaOg · 22/05/2017 22:18

Make them find somewhere else. He's taking the piss.

muffinwaggon · 22/05/2017 22:19

I wouldn't put up with this. This isn't fair on you. You clearly can't even settle in your own home, which isn't right. Get a shower if you want one, and if you want to go to bed, he will have to stop what he's doing. 13 hours at a time, and stoping you from doing things in your own home isn't on. Please don't put up with this.

If he's so bothered about doing these podcasts, tell him to go somewhere else. Or at least cut them down to shortened times.
Can't believe he's being so ungrateful really.

NoCapes · 22/05/2017 22:22

I really wouldn't be happy with a load of my husbands mates hanging out in my bedroom
Podcast, shifts or whatever else aside, that is just wierd!

yorkshapudding · 22/05/2017 22:24

YANBU. You have a right to relax in your own home, especially after a 13 hour shift!

BorisTrumpsHair · 22/05/2017 22:25

YANBU and he should find somewhere else

TheAntiBoop · 22/05/2017 22:30

Get into your pyjamas and go to bed. Tip toe about in an exaggerated manner and get into bed and toss and turn. He will be so embarrassed he will never invite his friends into his bedroom again. Or you could totally freak the lot out by bursting into the room dressed in leather and asking who wants a whipping first

And I bet he sleeps in later than you do so make sure you don't tip toe about!!

He is being an inconsiderate arse

witchofzog · 22/05/2017 22:33

Wtaf. Just no. This is your bedroom and you are being prevented from going to bed after a 13 hour shift. Your need to sleep trumps a bloody podcast. I am seething on your behalf. Why cant they do this elsewhere?

caffeinestream · 22/05/2017 22:42

Do it anyway - have a shower/go to bed/whatever else.

He only does it cause you're letting him get away with it.

Feyenoord · 22/05/2017 22:43

Tell them that you are going to bed and they will have to wrap it up or take it elsewhere. Do this in front of his friends. If he resists then suggest a hotelroom. If he still resists kick his friends out of the house.

You need your sleep and he is being selfish.

Judydreamsofhorses · 22/05/2017 22:44

My DP does a podcast - I assume the mates are not in your bedroom, but down the line? Unless it goes out live, he can edit out acoustic issues. DP does his in our spare room which is opposite the living room - if it wasn't edited I'm sure the listeners would hear me clomping about on the wooden floors as I trip back and forth to the kitchen.

Chloe84 · 22/05/2017 22:45

They say previous sleep you're losing. Don't let him.

Chloe84 · 22/05/2017 22:45

*That's precious sleep

NoCapes · 22/05/2017 22:46

Am I the only one who has no idea what a podcast is? I'm assuming a sort of Internet radio show type thingy?

WonkoTheSane42 · 22/05/2017 22:46

I really wouldn't be happy with a load of my husbands mates hanging out in my bedroom

Why are people assuming that there's anyone else physically there? Most podcasts are recorded over Skype.

TheAntiBoop · 22/05/2017 22:53

Ha ha! It's probably us oldies assuming they are there but you are right that doesn't make sense!!

Yeah just go have your shower and go to bed.

MudCity · 22/05/2017 22:54

YANBU!

WatchingFromTheWings · 22/05/2017 22:56

I'd have headed straight for the fuse box...

ohfourfoxache · 22/05/2017 22:56

I think I'd lose my shit and tell them to get the fuck out NOW.

Or suddenly decide that tonight is the night to start sleeping naked and go straight to bed.

Inertia · 22/05/2017 22:58

I would be extraordinarily unimpressed with this!
