  • Talk with your partner and tell them you hear their concerns and they are valid. However, they need to understand that you have a need to be closer to your family or your family have a need to be closer to you. But that you will work with everyone to establish boundaries and you will make sure that they are respected so that everyone is happy.

    Have this talk with your family as well and let them know that while you are happy to be closer, that you still need to have boundaries and that you hope they understand they need to respect them. When it happens it’s nothing personal that you just need your space.

    If you communicate your needs like this I think it’ll work out for everyone















  • I’ve been using EarPeace earplugs with interchangeable filters.

    They’re relatively cheap so if you lose them you can replace them easily.

    I carry them with me everywhere in a little keychain tube. I use them when I need to tone down the noise either at work or in a bar or cabaret or whatever. I change the filters to the stronger ones when going to concerts.

    They’re great!
