I have tried that. She doesn't get it.
That is a very reasonable solution. It's pretty fucked she doesn't respect your wishes, but then again there is a reason I refuse to live with a woman ever again.
Discuss renting an office away from your house? Maybe then she will take you seriously.
I don't want to rent an office away from my house. I took a full remote position specifically so I wouldn't have to leave my house.
You don't have to do it, just discuss it as a possible solution (to shock her to your seriousness). An attempt to drive home how important this is to your family (that she stay out of your office so you can get your work done and not get called back to the corporate office or fired.)
I dunno why she just doesn't get it. Has she ever had a serious corporate job?
Tell her men need their space and their own alone time. Sometimes its just for the most inane and stupid reasons, like farting, others are to contemplate imminent death after the UN kicks your door while you scream behind a knocked table with your shotgun: "I HATE THE ANTICHRIST"
Seriously. Open your mind to your deepest thoughts to her. She wont understand, and that sole factor is reason enough for her to leave you alone for a moment or so.
