Okay, I need your responses and help with this one

I feel for you. Last night my spouse started yelling at me and he said "you are messing with my phone". Not true I was on the couch watching a movie with him. Luckily I had suggested it or it would have been something he watches over and over. He said that I made google photos work with music. It has been doing that for a couple of year's. His phone was on the counter where he left it. So, I went to check if I could show him what happens to no avail. I was screamed at and I left the room. This morning I showed him on my phone. He still believes I made it happen. I have eaten with him and that is all I am doing as I refuse to be yelled at again. He has not spoken to me since. I have tried everything that I know and he is like a crazy person over the dumbest things. That is my rant for the day.

My spouse is addicted to his phone and he only watches old movies, or movies with an actor he likes. I have given up trying to watch something new with him; I think it is because he cannot Follow the plot. I use the old movies as my own few minutes of zoning out, pretending to watch, reading, or anything to be close to him physically. I think I know half the dialog to The Green Mile and Shawshank.
I no longer try so hard to get him involved or interested in doing other things to stay busy. He loves going out and being around other people, even if he does not make much sense.
If you are paying for the renovation- are you able to talk with the contractor to speed up the process? Or if your son is doing it himself- paying for some extra help?
I pay for a lot of things to keep my spouse happy and try not to worry about our dwindling savings.
I am giving you a hug - you are not alone
