Until you get things sorted out, I really recommend some good quality silicone earplugs when practicing. I am very noise sensitive, and when I lived in the city, they were a very good help when trying to astral project. Crutches like that probably aren't good for you in the long run, but sometimes they are necessary.
If she feels offended when you use earplugs when practicing, she is playing the victim, in order to control you. No one said that she could not have a good time when you require some solitude. If having a good time for her means watching soap operas with the volume up high, you don't have to be disturbed. Just use good quality earplugs.
Getting things sorted out could mean leaving her.
I once saw a news segment on TV about an elderly couple who had decided to get a divorce. Asked why, one of them said that they just did not have anything in common anymore. And so they were better off without each other. Many people would think that it was too late for such an old couple, they, however, decided otherwise.
