'My meeting takes precedence': Remote-working couple juggle sharing computer monitor between their two jobs

A remote-working couple is stressing each other out, writing, "This is very petty, but we need some help."

Working remotely is heaven on Earth for most employees! In-office work has it's perks, like getting to talk to your coworkers in person, and making you focus on your work, since you're in that type of environment. But if you've ever done remote work, you know the amazing feeling of working while chilling on your couch in sweatpants, comfy and unbothered. 

Then again, if you live with a spouse or kids, it's a whole different story. Remote work isn't perfect when you have to share your "office space" with your husband or wife. This couple knows that all too well, because they're squabbling over a computer monitor, which they both need for their online meetings. The OP shared this story, which you can read below, and commenters unanimously claimed they were NTA.
