Setting boundaries not working

TW// War

So I’ve been taking social media breaks from the whole Ukraine invasion. Consuming so much media was really starting to mess with my mental state. Im still trying to stay informed, reading about what’s happening every few days. At least that was my plan.

I was trying to tell my partner this but he just doesn’t care. He’s been doom scrolling and every hour or so he tells me information or sends me tweets about what’s happening and it’s driving me insane. Then he goes on hour long rants about politics and war. When I tell him I don’t want to talk about this he either (1) begs and says “please it’s just one thing” or (2) tries to guilt me by saying that people ignoring what’s happening is wrong and this is important to talk about. But like, I’m not ignoring it. I’m informed about what’s happening, I just don’t want to read about people being bombed every 10 freaking minutes.

Tried to compromise and say let’s set time aside at the end of the night to talk about it. Still, he’s not listening or tries to guilt me into a conversation.
