AITA if I want my spouse to take after hours work calls in his home office

I had to move my desk to a different room bc of my husband. And sometimes he likes to walk around on the phone! Also bonkers. Just saying maybe your husband is trying to put in some effort to/getting credit for being at home rather than away in his office.

Yeah, which is BS. Tell him if he’s going to do work, do it from one of his two (!) offices. If he’s going to be around family, put away his damn phone.

He’s being very rude. I assume he expects everyone to be quiet-ish when he’s on a work call. Even if he doesn’t, he’s being rude and inflicting loud conversations on you. Moreover, studies have shown that only hearing one side of a phone conversation is even more distracting than hearing both sides of the call.
If he has a home office, that’s where work calls need to happen.

Your husbands rude and unaware.

Mine does this and walks around the entire time making me dizzy. I hate it so much.

In the car, too, unfortunately, where we are all trapped. So loud.

He either talks on the phone in his office , the garage, the basement, or car, or he's going to be served with divorce papers. Tell him that.
