Girlfriend Refuses to Work in Home Office Despite Partner Planning to 'Relax' in the Living Room on Their Day Off

""We've both been off over Christmas and new year and we're both supposed to go back on Friday," they shared. "I put 2 extra days of annual leave in so I don't go back until the 6th.""

"Their plan was simple: "use the day to myself to relax at home and play video games and catch up on Netflix since I've got the place to myself.""

""I prefer the living room and don't want you using the TV since it'll make noise and she can't work when it's noisy." The disagreement escalated, with the poster pointing out that "she has the home office [or] her actual office to work in if she doesn't want noise" and stated that they would "still be using the living room.""

Their girlfriend primarily works in an office but occasionally works from home and normally uses the living room as a workspace. Tension arose when she asked to work from home on the day he planned to use the living room. He suggested she use the home office instead, while she objected to potential TV noise. The person refused to cancel planned relaxation, emphasizing a desire to keep the living room for personal downtime that day.
