My dh falls asleep every single night in front of the tv, cradling the remote. Always with some noisy crap on tv. Every night this results in an argument with me telling him to just switch the damn tv off & go to bed, or at least hand over the remote & let me take charge of it! I hate most tv, it's just annoying noise these days.
To be fair he is 60 & still works hard, whereas I have an office job. The only respite we get from this scenario is when we're on holiday. Even at the weekend when he's not working he's the same. I have a study I can disappear into to get away from the tv. He loves his tv.I could do that every night, but once you start spending every evening in separate rooms you are likely to become house mates. We could go out somewhere, but by the time we've eaten, cleared away, caught up with jobs etc it doesn't seem worth it.
I dread retirement if it's going to be like this every night. We've only been home from our holidays for two nights & already the arguments have started. He's had health checks, takes tablets for high BP but that's the only thing he has.
