my wife and I can sit in the same room

I would really advise against that unless you have no choice. Us working in a one bed flat with no doors had a pretty bad effect on my mental health as other half is constantly on calls and LOUD. It also stopped me from working effectively (I couldn't concentrate) and I really felt that my career was starting to suffer.

I don't think any headphones can really fix the problem unless your wife is very softly spoken.

We kinda solved the problem by moving him into the bedroom (only room with a door) but he's still too loud sometimes, so we have solved the problem by buying a five bedroom house (well, a four bed with a bathroom that needs demolishing) which is probably overkill but means we'll get a study each.

+1 we are struggling massively, wife is working from bedroom but its very cramped and the light is poor so now its winter we're really struggling rotating who has to go in the bedroom.

Normally ending in one of us working from bed tbh

This second lockdown with the timing of dark winter approaching has been far more difficult for me too.

I'm trying to get out of the house as much as possible before work for a stroll and during lunch if I get the opportunity to do so.
