Holy Hannah, is that alarming. I mean, I struggle enough with Spouse's refusal to watch things that are..."not of his choosing" is not the right word for it. Basically, he will not stay in the room and watch something that he is lukewarm about just to spend time with me, while for a while he complained about me putting in my earbuds and watching something on the laptop while he watched things I outright disliked. At least once I pointed this out to him, he stopped the latter behavior.

This husband...I have to say, if things had gotten to a point where my child was leaving the room in her anxiety over how her father would react to music she was enjoying, I'd be pretty tempted to skip counseling and go right to divorce. I know the LW has other complications, there, but this behavior is simply unacceptable.
