I had to laugh out loud when I read that, because many, many years ago when I was about 30, I ran into the same stumbling block, I ended up giving up on my attempt to learn the guitar, now that I'm old and have a larger house, I think my wife is happy to have me off in the bedroom practicing and out of her hair. I doubt there is any help for your situation, other than growing old.
Good luck,
