At the minute it’s the Downing Street daily update, every day from about 4pm. That’s ok.
But he barges and rants at the journalists and their ‘stupid questions’... every day. I could write the script. Are they stupid... they’ve already asked that ...... etc etc

I never understand these couples who have to do everything together. Get a tv in another room and watch what you want!

Secret to a happy life - separate TVs!

I feel your pain ‘we’ watch every quiz show with my husband calling out the answers and totally ignoring me for the duration of the programmes. I then get to watch the rerun of Downton Abbey and he takes great pleasure in making derogatory remarks all the way through it. One day I will implode AND I always get more right answers than him.

You have my sympathies, I have decided that there is nothing on TV worth an argument, when offered a choice (when there is no sport on!) I usually switch it off unless there is a good medical programme on. DH will even 'put one on for me', which illogically irritates as I would prefer to choose my own programmes! He means well.......

OH just said to me "Watch what you want to watch on TV". We had just watched bloody Antiques Roadshow, which quite honestly bores me silly, but OH likes it. I flicked through a few things and said "Oh, I would like to watch Sewing Bee", to which he replied "Oh God!!!". Now he wonders why I have told him to watch whatever else he wants. He can't find anything that he likes, but still doesn't want to watch Sewing Bee. AIBU to tell him to not ask me what I want to watch if he would rather watch something that he doesn't really enjoy rather than me watch something I would enjoy? Sorry for the convoluted language, but I am fuming and he has now stormed off to bed!!!
