Girlfriend keeps watching love island without me

    Guys, I'm at my wits end here. My girlfriend likes love island and started watching the new season. I was there for the first couple of episodes and got interested. I still mock it as trash, but secretly I enjoy it. But, since I mock it my girlfriend doesn't think I like it and keeps watching it without me. I came in last night and only caught the last ten minutes and even at that I had to pretend I wasn't really watching it, . Even though I was trying to work out who was coupled with who now, and how the various dynamics are playing out.

    I set it to series record thinking I could catch up after she goes to bed, but she's taken to clearing them after she watches it so as not to clog up the box. I could probably find them on the player or something, but I'd inevitably read a headline about Alex being rejected by samira or something in the paper the next day.

    Any suggestions on how to deal with this? And is this the right forum for this or would personal issues / relationship issues be more appropriate?

    Call me crazy, but how about...

    "Alright, I give in, I do like it really. Let's watch it together."

    Don't be ridiculous. Any attraction she had for me would be gone. I'd rather she walked in on me watching people popping spots on YouTube.

    Deceit and lies are the corner stone of any healthy relationship

    I'd be more annoyed if she expected me to watch that drivel! Although, I hope that I'd never be attracted by that type...

    Maybe women aren't your thing?

    Maybe you should take the advice always given by the curtain twitchers and armchair psychologists in the relationship issues forum - dump her and get therapy.

    I hope you're a lesbian.

    If you're not. Get a sex change.

    Love Island isn't really an Island, it's just a peninsula

    Whatever about any limited wisdom I have on this, you are definitely on the correct forum. You should run all your difficult life situations through here for guidance

    Embrace it and confess.

    Some people will fight the Love and slag people who watch it, but the path of least resistance is to let the current just sweep you away to the Island.

    It's so weird, every night I'd be watching reruns of University Challenge and suddenly the Sky box switches to Love Island, and my body goes into a state of paralysis. Just for that hour! Same thing happened when Celeb Big Brother was on.....and I'm a Celeb.....madness I tellz ya

    Better looking girls on Babestation IMO. If you have Saorview you should be able to get it.
