[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he doing specific things that are maddening (micromanagement of dishwasher loading, frequently interrupting with “where’s the butter” type questions,  making disruptive noise), or is it just that he’s there all the time?[/quote]

He's constantly talking to me and pacing around. He doesn't seem to function without telling me every movement he makes and the floor squeeks nonstop when he walks on it. [/quote]
If you haven’t already, I would say talk to him and focus on his behaviors and how they impact your work and cause you stress. Think about boundaries that could work and set them. If it doesn’t work, maybe some counseling is in order, not because this is a divorce event but because communication isn’t working.

FWIW my SAHM friends have similar experiences with their husbands when they start WFH or retire. I think a lot of men just lack respect for their wives as individuals and it doesn’t occur to them that these constant interruptions disrupt you. You’re their wife! They can learn, though.[/quote]
