"It's extremely difficult getting your spouse to respect the "working" part of working from home."
No, I used to believe so, but it is actually very easy. You tell her you are working and no you can't, and you actually mean it, you have to be really convinced inside.
My advice is that you look yourself in the mirror, you are probably projecting insecurity in your body language.
You don't need to get angry, quite the contrary , you need to control the situation in a calm assertive way.
Women are like dogs, they feel insecurity(they are much better at body language than men) y and try to get advantage of it in a subconcious way, watch "Dog Whisperer" to understand what I mean. The worst thing is that they disrespect those that are easy to control.
We are animals after all, and our inner chimpanzee is controlling most of what we do, the different is that we use reason to justify what our chimpanzee wanted afterwards.
