I love working from home, but my wife keeps asking me to do stuff. How do I get her to leave me alone from 8-6 from Monday to Friday?

This is probably the right answer

“ I know it doesn’t look like I’m working, but I am actually working very very hard. And I am being paid to work from 8 to 6 so please hold off on asking me to do anything until after six, OK? And then if I work really hard and get a raise, I’ll take you to Paris. How about that?”

Communication is a foundational skill in marriage. Set down boundaries, my dude. Unless it’s a slow day, errands/chores will get done outside of business hours. As long as it gets done, yer fine.

If she's not respectful or mature enough to realize that your work keeps a roof over your heads, then good luck with that. She's behaving like a child, and you shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense. It's time that she got a full-time job outside of the home.

Personally, I’m happy to do laundry while I work from home on some days but other days are just too busy. And when my husband works out of home I sometimes ask him to run an errand if it’s on the way and he’s not too busy. I think it’s just about communication. Good luck!

We both suck at laundry. It’s an endless cycle of rewashing clothes that was in the washer for too long

divorce is certainly something that would check most of these boxes

Then I’d be alone from 6-8 during the week and all day on weekends

Tell her if you wanted to have married a mother you would have

This was probably the weirdest response here. Most people that marry women expect them to be mothers at some point. Have you watched “Love is Blind” at all?
