One Born Every Minute...argument!!! Still Annoyed...need to vent!

[Lexie82]

So...am I being over emotional and stupid?

At around 8 last night I said to DP I wanted to watch One Born at 9...he said OK and set it to reminder. Here's me thinking we are going to snuggle on sofa and watch what we have to come.

At 8.55, what we were watching finished and so I said can we watch One Born now....to which he says NO, he doesn't want to watch it. Think's it's rubbish and isn't interested in seeing all blood and gore, can't we watch another one in the series we were watching.....I said, thought we where going to watch it together?? He says for me to watch it on my own, to which I say NO...... He says No he don't want to and so goes and plods around the kitchen and then says he's going to bed so I can watch what I like......also whilst mummering that we "arent joined at the hip to watch TV"

I stayed downstairs for about 45 mins and then went to bed. Didn't watch it. Felt really sad and disappointed and thought we were going to watch together.

I know this is all very stupid!!!!! But it's still annoying me.

We exchanged a few messages this morning and I did apologise for over reacting and said I was just disappointed and he said it's no big deal and he just didn't want to watch it. I said I would give him this "space" so he can have his Hip Back! After an hour of my talking about space he said sorry he didn't mean it like that.....

sorry just annoyed and wanted to vent - know it sounds so stupid! Dont' want to watch bloody show on my own now either!

There’s no way my oh would watch obem! He hates blood and guts. It would freak him out! Men worry about labour too you know. Easier not to think about it.

Well I must be a shit partner then. Waiting nine hours at the hospital unable to eat drink or think straight, being there for the whole two weeks he was in after, nursing him at home when he cane out sorting out all his finances etc wow how shit am I because I won't watch an op on telly

Jesus, calm down. No one called you a shit partner.

If he didn't ask you, there's no issue at all.

Trying to explain that my DH actually asked me to look at/watch stuff I didn't really want to, but he asked, so I did.

I asked him to watch OBEM. He did.

Wishing your DH speedy recovery. My DH's op went wrong, so he's back in 3 weeks

@Lexie, I think you're getting a pretty unfair bashing on here.

If you were under the impression you were going to watch something together, which by putting a timer on would indicate that, I think you're within your right to question your partners decision to not watch it.

It's something important to you as you'll be experiencing something similar to what will be shown in the not too distant future, I like to think of it as educational!

My DH doesn't particularly like watching it so he'll go get a bath or play football on his laptop. I like to encourage him so he's not going in blind later on.

Don't forget, hormones are a bitch right now so you may have been a little irrational, but it wasn't your fault.

FWIW this weeks one was pretty harrowing.... xx

I dont know a single man who would watch that programme

DP and I are another couple who also never watch the same things. He’ll only sit through sat night tv at a push but doesn’t like the shows. I’ll go to bed early or vice Versa so he can catch up on sport or I can catch up on the soaps. I really wouldn’t get annoyed about this. I’d just let it go. If you want to watch things together choose something you both like.

I think you're getting a pretty unfair bashing on here

Glad it's not just me that thinks that.

It strikes me that it isn't really about the subject matter of the programme, more that it seems from your second post that he always gets to choose and you just sit there and put up with it, even if it doesn't interest you.

How about turning it on its head and take a leaf out of his book? Next time he is watching something so boring you end up phone surfing go off and do something else on your own?

Watch the programmes you both like together and then have some programmes you watch separately? Remind him he's not in charge of the controller!

It's okay gluteus was a few years back now but thank you x hope all goes well for you guys and your oh is back to normal as soon as possible
