Guys and Dolls,
I have recently come across a problem.
We have 2 t.v.s in my house, and I seem to be the one that is stuck watching the small tube t.v in the bedroom, while my wife watches the bigger flat panel hd tv in the living room.
Now I have no problem with the arrangement except on sunday afternoons. I would really like to be able to watch football, not all day, and usually only one game a day, on the HD t.v.
She says she doesnt like football, and I can accept that, but it also comes down to the concessions I feel like I make also. I watch t.v. w/ her. I watch HER programs w/out complaing.
For instance I will watch One Tree Hill, gossip girl, and its constitenly on the lifetime movie network.
Like I have said, I dont mind watching those shows w/ her every now and then, but I feel like I have to schedule my t.v. activity around her schedule.
We bought the t.v. together, and it is our t.v. I think if someone is watching something, thats fine, just wait till its over then put it on something we both like, but thats obviously not what she thinks.
For instance she says, "lets watch something we both like" which means, House or some other sitcom, its never lets watch what you want this time.
Im not asking for it every minute of the day, just on Sunday afternoons.
I have told her how I feel, and she makes a joke out of it.
Also, she was raised in a home where her mother decided what the "family" watched and her father had no say at all. He had a small t.v. in the garage and was forced to go watch something out there if he wanted to watch something different.
Am I being a douche for suggesting that this seems like all take and no give?
What do you guys suggest?
Sorry about the length of the post, but I wanted to add as much info as possible. Thanks and you guys rock!
