No matter how compatible a couple is it is very common that their interests won't always align. 

When it comes to wives and favorite YouTube stars a husband's pick of the day can be a lot closer than we think. Because what if, after a long day's work, the sound of Mr beast's voice soothes them just as much as their wife's famous chicken soup? What happens if his love language is not touch or acts or service but rather, babe please let me watch my YouTube videos that obtain questioning releavance in peace. 

Is love about accepting each other's flaws unconditionally? Maybe the right approach would be sitting next to your partner, asking them if you could join in on watching one of their top-picked videos and then asking them to kindly join you in cooking dinner. That sounds like a good compromise.

We all know that some husband's lack that, well to put it frankly, athletic flare. So maybe instead of becoming WAGS we will have to settle with becoming WAGYW - Wives and Girlfriends of Youtube Watchers…

  • How can we settle the household tension, when said husband is constantly listening to his YouTube Videos at 100% volume? This is likely to give anyone a scorching migraine and result in some thinning patience. 

    However, are we sure that divorce papers are the most effective long-term solution for this hard-of-hearing husband's obnoxious habits?

    AITAH for threatening to divorce my husband over MrBeast?

    I (f24) am seriously at my wits end. My husband (m26) is partially deaf from DJing in his teens/early 20s, so he needs things louder to hear them. But

    what I dont get is why that has to mean I'm involuntarily listening to MrBeast yelling about bying. himself alive or giving away $10k

    to strangers at 9am on a Sunday. He watches MrBeast videos on his phone at like 95-100% volume. Not even joking. He'll put a video

    it's always MrBeast. Not different youtubers. Just him. Constantly. Same loud vibe, same chaotic energy, every day.

    I've asked him to wear headphones. He "doesn't like them". I suggested subtitles. He "doesn't want to read while

    echoing through the walls. I kinda snapped and said, half joking, "If I hear one more MrBeast video at full volume I'm filing for divorce."

    volume. It's the content. I think it's childish. He's almost 30. Why is a grown man obsessed with videos made for 14 yr olds with zero attention span??

    I love him, but I just want peace and quiet in my own home. I'm tired of feeling like I live inside a YouTube thumbnail. AITAH???

    Keine-Katze NTA, girl you are 24 don't spend your life with him if he already doesn't consider your needs

    blairfoxyer NTA. Needing higher volume for hearing is one thing. but blasting YouTube videos all day with no compromise is

    inconsiderate. You asked nicely, tried solutions, and he refused all of them. It's not about MrBeast it's about basic respect

    cynrtst I have hearing aids and I honestly prefer using them to listen to content. He needs to get checked and take care of his medical needs. And use them.

    RadiantRebelElla NTA. Respect goes both ways. He needs to respect your ears as much as you respect his interests. Buy him a hearing aid instead of divorce papers though

    Rmanager Being upset at his behavior is completely reasonable. "Joking" about divorce is not. Once that is out there, you can't take it back.

    massachusettsmama NTA. But tell him he needs to go to an audiologist. He probably needs hearing aids.

    BeanBreak The real conversation should maybe be about him seeing a doctor and getting hearing. aids before he further damages his ears AND yours
