Talking through every single tv show, every single night.

Just as the title says really. My partner constantly talks or makes random noises or says ‘ok honey? OK HONEY’ at me through every single program we watch. Every night. If I don’t respond it makes him louder. It drives me insane, but he won’t stop.

aibu to next time he does it (tomorrow night) pause the tv and rewind it every single time; or is that too passive aggressive.

So not to drip feed, he is not ND, and I have already spoken to him about how annoying it is 10000000 times.

People who can’t stop talking drive me crazy in any situation. Living with one would be intolerable.
But since you are living with one, and he won’t shut up despite being told, you’ll have to think about separate tellies in separate rooms, or watch on your laptop with headphones.
