The One Time I Could File For A Divorce

[Tilly2]

is when, as now, Mr Tilly has bought a new CD and he waits until I get home before playing it loudly. It's so loud it hurts me ears and I ask him to turn it down and he chunters at me.
He has to sit exactly in the middle of the speakers as it's playing and he goes off into a world of his own.

He's turned it down but it's still too loud. I have decamped to the kitchen. I have my earphones on and am playing music and I can still hear the damn thing!

I think it's a man thing.

go for it, cariad. ;o)

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

[Tilly2]

PARDON? DID SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING?

BUY MRT SOME HEADPHONES/TURN ELECTRICITY OFF

If you were still courting, you'd pretend to love that music and sit and listen to it with him, for hours and hours.

[hc4361]

What is the CD, anyway?

[Baldric]

I do similar, difference is I'm the one with the Headphones, sit back, good music at a good volume and watch the yachties playing around in the Estuary, often enhanced by a glass of something good!

[Tilly2]

Good idea, jo. Headphones, for him, would be a definite bonus. Of course he will want the best, most expensive ones. Not like mine from Poundland.

Headphones might help. I don't think it's a man thing- i used to do it, now only do in my car when I'm on my own.

[Tilly2]

hc, that is so true. I sat through hours of music I didn't like at the time but, strangely, I do now. That's a very perceptive point.

The CD is Wildewoman by Lucius. Two screechy women.

That'll be these, then.

I 110% sympathise Tilly - After years of playing the decks to astronomical volumes and going out to loud clubs in his yoof, My OH can't have the TV at a normal volume - It quite literally hurts my ears.
I came up with a solution, whilst I had some time off, I decorated the Attic room, turfed out all the junk and turned it into a 'Man-Cave' for him - now he can have his decks and TV at whatever volume he wants with the door shut and I can peacefully type away on my laptop downstairs with the hound. He loves the man-cave too xx

[Tilly2]

Good guess, Sibs. They will have to be Bose, to go with the sound system. Nothing less will do.

Can't hear anything... Are you really gness in disguise?

[Butterbun]

OH is like that when the cricket is on. He shouts at them too, telling them what to do. If it's a nice day I go out and potter in the garden, if not, I stick to the kitchen.

[Butterbun]

A man-cave peaspeculiars. What a great idea. Have to copy that.

[mikey4444]

If it were Abba, I would have already phoned the solicitors.

[boxtops]

Now is the time, tilly, to Ban Him To The Shed :-)

[Peaspeculiars]

it's a win/win set-up Butterbun ;o)

[Tilly2]

jim, gness and I do have some things in common. Deafness being one of them.

I think I need a woman cave. I'm going to work on that.

it's finished now and he has come into the kitchen to tell me how fantastic it was and how much i would like particular tracks on it!
