Talk to your spouse about your listening habits. Try to reach an compromise about when you can listen and how loud (an SPL meter would help).
I don't know what you system is, but based upon your description of its sound I don't think headphones will make you happy. If you want to give headphones a try, you can get an excellent sounding setup for well under $1k.
