This results in us being in two separate places, which he hates.

This seems to me to be the key sentence.

LW's problem: she writes a lot, she needs silence to write, and her husband insists on watching TV in the living room without headphones. Compromises she's tried: 1. Tried earphones, this didn't work. 2. She spends some time in the living room with him, then leaves when she has enough. 3. Writing to Abby to try to find another solution, as her husband still wants her in the room all the time he's there.

LW's husband's problem: he wants to be in the same room as his wife while doing two different activities, but she insists that she can't write with TV noise in the background. Now she keeps leaving the room when the noise gets to be too much for her. Compromises he's tried... um, uh...?

To misquote a saying, LW doesn't have a problem, she has a solution her husband doesn't like.
