Do we have any future we don't have interests in common

Hi all!

I am new to the forum.

Recently I have been having concerns regarding my relationship. My partner and me have been living together for about a year now. In the beginning things were alright, in fact it was him who was more keen for us to live together.
Lately we have been spending less time together. We both work and come back home about the same time. I'd rather have a rest with a cup of tea in front of the tely, then prepare some food. He hates watching tely, he'd rather go for a pint or play on ps4. We end up sat in different rooms - me watching tv, him playing ps4. I don't think that's a healthy relationship. I've discussed it with him and he doesn't understand why I need us to be sat next to each other all the time. However, I have noticed him trying to watch some programs with me now. It does bother me though because he does it just because I want it. He does not have the need to spend much time with me. Maybe no time even. According to him this is not an indication for a problem. I suppose I might be a bit needy sometimes but I do believe we should spend time together.

Thank you

Hey @Lightyathome

What about buying some board games, puzzles? How about a game console amnesty on certain nights of within certain hours? But obviously you'd both need to come to this decision and agreement.

It's very difficult to make him agree on something, he's usually very tired after work and would fall asleep if what he's doing isn't really interest him. Obviously if I start nagging, he'll pay some attention but I don't think that's the point.

@Lightyathome

I don't mean to be rude but you sound quite lack lustre? A tad bored? Have you heard of Limerence?
