    Honestly, I would be pretty annoyed if I were her. Imagine agreeing to watch something knowing that if you dose off, your boyfriend is going to change it right away. Forcing yourself to stay away knowing he's waiting for you to sleep so he can put on something else he'd prefer.

    Agreeing on sonething is not signing a contract!! For a start, she has form falling asleep for long periods, as he said. What if they agreed to watch a movie and the movie was crap after 20 minutes? Is he supposed to continue watching the crap out of fear she may wake up? lol Christ, some people.

    It’s funny - I thought this was a fake thread started for a laugh but now I see there clearly are people out there like OPs girlfriend. Question still remains - why does he put up with it, that’s even harder to believe!

    OP you shouldn't entertain that ****e for a second. I'd give her a nudge when she falls asleep and say go up to bed and then you can watch what ya want.

    Mod Note

    I think the OP has plenty to go on here, so I'm going to close this now. OP if you want it reopened for further advice on this issue at any stage just let one of the Mod Team know and we can do it for you.

    A reminder to all posters that calling out a post/poster/thread as a troll/ing on thread (as appears to be a developing trend at the moment) is a breach of the Charter here. If you feel a thread or post/er is trolling, please report it and the Mods will review and make a call on it. Do not post it on thread.

    Thanks everyone who took the time to offer help and advice.

    Mod Note

    As per your request OP, I'm reopening the thread, but it's on the basis that you have some additional information/clarification to make on your issue.

    Otherwise there is little more advice to be given other than what's already been said and the thread will be closed.

    Thanks

    We have the living room, and a spare bedroom/office/TV room upstairs. She watches her rubbish upstairs, and I watch good stuff like football and John Rambo movies downstairs. Works a charm.

    So you live separately. Ok. And you recommend this to other couples, do you?

    How does this imply you live separately? Pretty standard arrangement for me and my wife during the week and then a movie together at the weekend. I want to watch football and violent movies, she doesn't. As long as both are happy who cares?

    Agree with this - couples who feel like they have to spend every waking moment together are bound to run into frustrations like OP’s!

    Yes I'd lose my nut if every evening was on the couch together resentfully watching some rubbish I've no interest in.
    I have friends who've been married years but they have their own little space where they play video games or mess around with things in the garage while having a beer.
    OP maybe you should look into doing other things besides watching TV in the evenings, read a book or do anything that gives you your own space.
