AIBU? My DP is completely sports-obsessed, especially with football, and it’s starting to really affect our time together. Whenever we sit down to watch a series or film, he places his phone on the coffee table to stream whatever game or match is currently on. He tries to split his attention between the show we’re watching and the game on his phone, but it’s clear he isn’t following along.
This leads to him asking me questions about what’s happening in the show because he’s missed parts while watching the match. I find this behavior not only distracting but also a bit disrespectful, as I’d like us to enjoy the show together without interruptions. When I finally get fed up and ask him to either turn it off or let me watch alone, it often leads to tension.
Am I being unreasonable for wanting his full attention when we watch something together? Or should I just accept this as part of his sports obsession?
