BF and I will never netflix and chill…LTB?

[breakingmews]

Lighthearted

BF has those raised desks so whether at the office or home, he works all day standing up

We take a lot of public transport (London) he never sits down, not even long journeys

He was talking about a series he is watching and because he doesnt have a TV, I asked if he watches it on the sofa or on his bed…he watches at his home office - standing up!

This means we will never be able to watch a movie or series together unless he changes this odd habit cause I’m not going to stand and watch. I want comfort, cushions and blankets.

We both dont like cinema, we find it uncomfortable, loud and overstimulating.

AIBU to LTB? one of the most nice things to do as a couple IMO is to cozy up together watching a great movie or series.

We do chill on his sofa a lot, drinking wine and listening to music, so maybe there is a small chance…

But yeah, it is odd, don’t you think?

Surely he sits down occasionally tho?
What reason has he given for not wanting to sit/lie down for watching a film?

Yeah, he's taking it to the extreme

Has he said why he prefers to stand?

My younger son isn't a sitter and never has been so it's not odd to me because I see it every day it's quite normal. I've no idea how common it is.

He does for eating, f2f meetings at work, on a park bench etc or on the sofa with me

He can’t explain why he stands up for work and watching 🤷‍♀️

That is funny
I’m a sitter, always looking for the most comfortable place to sit too but if is umconfortable I can’t sit too long

Erm, I don't think you understand what "Netflix and chill" means, if you think it's watching telly together 😂

My son says sitting makes him feel "fizzy".

He's 23 and has autism and so his way of communicating is a little different but what I think he's trying to describe is maybe restlessness.
Is your partner a fidgeter?

I've got a friend like this, she prefers to stand for almost everything , says she gets restless sitting. She still manages to sit to watch a movie with me twice a month on movie night so there is hope! She's a chronic leg jiggler though, when she does sit, but it doesn't bother me. Unless she jiggles my popcorn everywhere.

😂😂😂

So this is not about sex?

Is your bf a horse, OP?

😂😂😂

Maybe he has haemorrhoids....

I dont think he is, no but he is 50 something so maybe learned how to mask well?

no, he sits down to eat and has beautiful table manners

I bet he's slim, isn't he? His way of being is actually very healthy.

I would definitely want t compromise on some cosy TV watching though.

😂 my first thought!

Why can't he explain why tho? There must be a reason?

will ask

he says habit, preference etc

Oh well, if that's his preference what can you do?

no he is very strong, lots of muscles, very solid built with a wonderfully round belly

My ex and my Son does this and they’re both autistic.

Definitely sounds like a horse!

He stands up to watch a film?

That is strange - I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. What if you say to him “come and cuddle with me on the sofa”? What would he do?

Does he only have sex standing up too? 😂😂😂
