Suggesting therapy to benefit someone is not wrong, you’re right. Suggesting therapy to someone because they feel sorry for someone else in the situation is simply used as a means of insult.
Well I've been in 'similar situations' before, but it was a computer, and I was playing games on it.
I'm not sure if it's the lack of time he spends with you or the over all noise he makes that bothers you, assuming the noise. Either way, it's not unreasonable to expect him to respect you. When I was told it's bothering my partner, I made changes so it doesn't. I would expect my partner to do the same for things that bothered me.
A reasonable person would, at the very least, turn the TV WAY down when you were around. Isn't that what partners do, care enough to be considerate for the other person? Otherwise that person is not considerate and in retrospect, honestly doesn't care about your wishes.
So my advice? Don't cope, it's unhealthy. Tell him the above, how you feel about it, and how it's effecting your life. Talk, don't argue, be calm and explain. If he doesn't listen, he can fuck right off. You don't want to be with someone who simply doesn't care about you.
Like would you say the same thing if she went to a different table and left you there for 10 minutes

I was giving honest advice to this person based on this post submission alone.
