Annoyed DP is out tonight when there's new Stranger Things to watch

He's out in a beer garden in the sun with actual real life people when the new series of ST is there on Netflix waiting to be watched.

WIBU to start watching it without him and lie and pretend I haven't? Selfish bastard. Me and the cat are dying to start without him.

It's the other way round in my house. I'm going out and DH is in. I'd much rather.be in watching ST than having a meal.with friends. Oh for tea, a takeaway and Netflix!
YANBU to watch it. Just 'predict' things and pretend you are.so good that you could write the next series Grin

I did this with DH when the last season of Orange is the New Black aired. I forgot the line under the episode goes red when it's been watched and he caught me out.
You'd need to be sneakier than me Grin

OffYouPopDoll · 05/07/2019 17:53

Ooooh we (me and the dogs) watching it now it's good!!!

ohhelloitsyou · 05/07/2019 17:53

Honestly I’d risk the divorce and if it happens blame it on him because really it is his fault that you watched it without him.

This is exactly what I'm doing... its not my fault he chose to go to the gym and I didnt

Cat says fuck him, let's watch it. I've got a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. I reckon I could binge the whole series before he gets in and then play dumb and say I haven't, and re-watch it with him.

And who needs a DP when you've got Chief Hopper...

I like your cat's thinking. Fuck him indeed, get it watched.

And give the cat a treat

SilentAlarm · 05/07/2019 18:53

If you’re going with the plan of rewatching, don’t forget Netflix changes from watch to resume once you’ve started!

LadyEv · 05/07/2019 19:04

Just watch it without him. Lie about it and pretend you haven't and then watch it again. I do it all the time.

Sammi38 · 05/07/2019 19:06

Add another profile watch it on that one and then delete the profile after! That way there will be no red line of deceit on the episodes and everyone’s a winner!

sneakypinky · 05/07/2019 19:09

Dickhead still isn't home, even though I sent him a WhatsApp photo of the Netflix ST start screen with the take away menu in shot. I'm starting it now, and he can eat my cold leftover curry when he rolls in.

Me and the cat are late to the party and watching the first series now
god knows where dh is Grin

whoami24601 · 05/07/2019 19:24

You can also log in on a laptop and remove things from your watched listGrin

hazeyjane · 05/07/2019 19:29

Having to wait until tomorrow night here because it's ds's birthday and we have the Lego Movie to watch (ffs)

I want beer and crisps and Hopper.

Fatted · 05/07/2019 19:31

This is my Friday night with Stranger Things. DH has been off work today and contemplated watching ahead while I was at work. Grounds for divorce I reckon.

Lovingthesunshine88 · 05/07/2019 19:33

I feel your pain!! My DH is here but watching tennis 😩 it's boring the life out of me especially when i could be watch ST but if i went upstairs and started it without him he'd moan like hell.

stayathomer · 05/07/2019 19:36

Don't do it OP!!!! You'll both be in different places with it and you'll want to move on ... Just one more night! Watch something else instead

CaptainHammer · 05/07/2019 19:38

Watch it! We are about to watch the last episode, it’s been brilliant!

icecreamsundae32 · 05/07/2019 19:42

@Sammi38 that is very sneaky....you have done this before GrinWink
We watched episode 1 last night and waiting for the kids to go to bed so we can watch more tonight! It's so weird but so addictive!

sqirrelfriends · 05/07/2019 19:43

Fuck him. Watch the series on a new Netflix profile and then "guess" what's going to happen next when it comes time to watch it with him.

sneakypinky · 05/07/2019 21:24

He's home. Wobbling about and I'm the best fiancé ever and I'm beautiful and amazing 🤪

YOU ARE A GENIUS! is never of thought of that.. you're my new favourite person

Usernamesarenotmyforte · 05/07/2019 21:54

YANBU my DP is out (and he isn’t even doing anything fun, loser). I’m so tempted but I watched series 2 without him, tried to pretend I hadn’t, and failed miserably. I hope anyone who goes for it is a better liar than me!
