Thinking my partner doesn't respect me

[wolfmom]

Or more accurately my working towards my degree. I had literally 15 minutes before said I need people to respect my study time and that I was going to study now and he comes up to show me some dumb video. It's not the first time, hence the talk we had just had. As it is he takes the piss out of anything I do or muscles in saying do it this way. He even tried to give me directions around the village I grew up in.

So get rid of him them. Sorted

*then

Do you want to stay with him?

Well YABU to stay with him if that's what you mean?

I need people to respect my study time Is there just the 2 of you?
I would not take you seriously if this is how you spoke to me.

It's the 2 of us and my teenager. I had just been speaking to him about a few things and mentioned that whenever I say I need to work on something he always just has to show me this video of a flat earther or I have to watch him playing something. Surely it would annoy anyone.

What are you studying? Being kind?

I would just ignore him, but if I used the sentence above, my DH would deliberately take the Mickey. As I would.

Pfft it’s a boring situation, people are cooped up and he sounds like he just wants company.

What are you studying? Being kind?

God I wish this Be Kind bollocks would fuck off already.

OP, you're not unreasonable. This is obviously not just the pressure of quarantine getting to you, personally I'd have already seriously rethought the relationship after he mansplained directions around your own hometown. My husband has needed to do work and send out CVs during this time, I'd never think of interrupting him with a video that could wait a couple of hours. It's rude and inconsiderate to say the least.

Charming lol

What is she doing that is unkind @DrManhattan? Asking for her wishes to be respected

I understand where you're coming from op I'm in the 2nd year of a degree and just completed a 4000 word essay and have another one to start soon, we have two little ones it's so hard to concentrate as it is let alone with someone distracting you with pointless crap it's not something you can stop and start. When I start an essay I need to focus because it's hard especially with all the referencing that goes with it so I get where you're coming from, my husband has done that sort of stuff a few times until I explained the above then he stopped. He he didn't do it on purpose it was just a automatic reaction as he always shows me silly videos etc he's not being malicious. Also they really don't get how hard it is at the moment trying to keep on top of uni work with everything going on so try not to let it get to you and just explain why he needs to leave you alone rather than just saying he does.. I found that helped.

You have two teenage boys not one lol.

I do try to be kind, it's more it feels like every time I open a textbook or log on to my student home, there is something that needs my attention right away. I love him to pieces and he is a really sweet guy most of the time. I like that he shares with me, his timing is so off though
