What do you and your OH do in the evenings?

Just that really?
Do you sit down together? Spend time apart? Talk? Watch TV together?

OH makes dinner
We watch TV

Not much else to do at the moment!

Eat tea together then he goes in his living room and watched his crap and I go in mine and do the same!

I go to bed to read, and he exercises or watches TV after a full day of us both working from home and homeschooling young children I crave peace and quiet and time to myself. Love DH very much but I'm too exhausted to exercise with him (am much more of a morning person) and find the constant background noise of tv or music overbearing, whereas he doesn't like it being silent, so what currently works best is us doing our own thing on an evening. Might seem odd to others, but we eat together, go on walks together and spend all day together so it doesn't bother me that our evenings are like this.

I might as well spend every evening alone, or with a corpse. Grin

I laugh on here, but its seriously bloody annoying. He gets angry if I wake him up to watch the programme HE has chosen.

@thenightsky 😂😂the same and when I lean over to take the remote from his sleeping hand to change it to something else he’s annoyed that I woke him up!

We spend some time together, some apart.

First thing we do is I cook and we eat dinner together.

He then usually makes music or works on business whilst i watch youtube/study investing/read.

We both exercise for an hour separately then play around an hour of video games together. After, we watch TV together before we wind down before bed

Cook, play boardgames/escape games/cards/chess, take turns picking things from Netflix, watch/explore funny YouTube videos together, future holiday planning, Zoom with friends, online yoga... Maybe a bit of work/life admin, or one of us might enjoy a long bath, and we have recently been indulging in early nights for reading books in bed. Smile
