Woman seeks advice on stopping obsession with US political news
A reader from the UK asks for help after her wife, originally from America, spends all day consuming US news while living abroad.
Wife consumes constant US content
The woman reports that her spouse sits on the couch watching videos and reading opinion pieces all day. She reads articles and watches content regardless of whether they are eating or talking about unrelated topics. Every conversation often starts or ends with outrage over current events.
Attempts to reduce usage fail
The husband told his wife she needs to take at least one day off social media, but she refuses even for an hour. He says stopping the consumption stresses her out more and causes him to cry during quiet times on weekends. She continues watching videos despite feeling stressed about everything happening in the United States.
