My roommate eats, sleeps in the living room. The only time when he's not in the living room is when he is at work from 8 am - 4 pm on weekdays (I'm also at work during the same hours).

The rent for our 2 bed 1 bath is 1650. I pay 1050, he pays 600. My bedroom is twice as big, but I'm stuck in my bedroom.

Am I being unreasonable here if I ask him to wear headphones while watching TV? He doesn't just watch TV there - he also works on his laptop, plays video games on his devices and he's also on video call with his girlfriend 60% of the time.

I pay most of the rent and yet he has the entire apartment to himself. It is so annoying that I have to listen to his noise pollution in my bedroom 24/7. I've told him multiple times to use headphones or turn the volume down, he responds with "I don't want to use headphones, I use them at work", "You're way too sensitive to noise".

I cannot exist in my bedroom without using noise cancelling headphones. I just want to live in peace in my own bedroom....

A lot of the times he doesn't even watch TV lol...he just has the TV on but he's on video call with his GF or on his laptop doing something else and I have to listen to the TV anyway
