Why do men put tv on fall asleep leaving family watching rubbish.

[justasking111]

OH puts the tv on his channel then nods off. I am as I type stuck with some old western. Dare I change channels, he appears to be asleep from his breathing pattern.

Crap he just woke up. I swear he is pyschic.

Well yes of course - if he is asleep and not watching then of course you change it 🤔

Yep me too ... bloody Grand Prix .
He likes to sleep through 2 practice sessions 1 qualifying and 1 race .
Me and the dog sat bored but if I try and turn over he wakes up 🙄

Why can't you just say - you are falling asleep so obviously not watching this can we watch XX instead?

Mine does this over cop shows, and paranormal shows. I don't switch over; I plug in headphones and watch something else on my laptop!

Just change it. "none of us are enjoying this and youre asleep"

@EggysMom which is what I do but I have big little lies recorded weeks of it and Lucifer, both of which he hates so I have to fit them in when he is not around. I endure weeks and weeks of rugby Friday nights and weekends, Welsh rugby, six nations, internationals without complaint.

Well he can endure week of Big Little Little Lies etc.
Honestly it’s not rocket science, it’s just being fair and compromising. If he can’t do that then tell him you aren’t going to compromise either!

STOP letting him treat you like a small child, who has no say.

My father used to do this with test cricket (which I love now but as a 7 year old? Not so much). He would wake up every time we tried to change the channel. My mother gave him two “strikes” and then cricket was out.
My partner never falls asleep watching the TV....
Seems like you have a TV hog on your hands.

what happens in my house usually is I settle with dh to watch a film and realise halfway through that I’m now watching the football highlights.
‘You’ve been asleep for the past 15 minutes’ dh will say when I start to object to him switching on the sports channels.

So you have to suffer through whatever he wants to watch, even if he's asleep. But you have to watch your shows so they don't disturb his highness, the king of the TV?

Why? Is he your boss? If my dh pulled this shit I'd tell him I was watching what I wanted and change the channel.

Christ, I will never get over how many women settle for dickheads

Okay there's bigger issues here OP. It's not normal to worry about changing the channel.

Can't imagine having to wait until my DH was not around just to be able to watch what I wanted on TV.

Df used to watch with his eyes shut

Dh will have any mindless rubbish on rather than switch off

Is this meant to be lighthearted?

Because if it's not, then grow a spine.

Why does he get to put on what he likes and you have to fit round him? He's not your overlord.

Jesus, some women let me get away with treating them like complete shit.

Men , not me grin]

Change it then. There’s no way DH dictates what’s on tv. Never understood women who put up with this

"I have big little lies recorded weeks of it and Lucifer, both of which he hates so I have to fit them in when he is not around. I endure weeks and weeks of rugby Friday nights and weekends, Welsh rugby, six nations, internationals "

Come on OP. Read that again, and see how lopsided that is.

And then change.

Fuck - he'd get some kick up the hole if he tried that with me.
Sounds like a total knob.

Snooze and you lose - fucking twat.
