Selfish or doormat?

[Meagainso]

I work full time, hubbies retired . I watch coronation street and emmerdale every night ( sorry lol) Hubby is passive aggressive in as much as this is rubbish, it is your telly blah blah blah and this goes on daily. Last night I asked to watch Andy Murray.. shaking of head and tutting I asked whats wrong, he said you always get what you want! I admit I said I am sick of this and went upstairs and downloaded stv player. Now blooming stuck up here while he watches a blank TV WTAF ?help

Seems like an easy fix would be to get another tv for your room.

Maybe come together for a film night once per week or so.

I mean i can see both perspectives- ppl having to watch soaps every night would suck.my will to live away too. But it's not like he doesn't know you watch them. Why does he have to hang about tutting and being miserable?

DH and I don't always watch the same things, and that is why we have a TV upstairs. We don't feel the need to sit in the same room as each other all the time.

Sounds miserable.

Set yourself up in another room enjoy the peace, and decide if you want to spend the next 20 years with such a misery.

So he can watch tv all day when he wants and then bitches when you want to watch a couple of shows after you finish work. What a miserable bastard!
Set yourself up your own room and leave him to it!

Yep my thought he can watch what he likes all day but hey there is no point being lord of the remote control if there is no one to lord it up over is there?

Get a second TV and once soaps finished, and after Wimbledon you can pop down

Want to watch something together sweetheart? If he is still a big grumpy just leave him alone.

Men hate, absolutely hate being ignored. They want to make you at least as miserable as they are and life is too short.

Totally agree! Was upstairs watching the tennis on a wee android went down stairs and the blooming telly was off!
Why moan at me wanting to watch something when he does not want to watch anything ? MEN!

How annoying! People can be very judgmental about what one watches to relax. It's none of his business what you watch, he sounds controlling and bitter. Can't he go to another room if he doesn't want the TV to be on?
