Love, TV shows and Netflix: Not an Addams Family person

Not an Addams Family person

Today, my girlfriend spend all day pouting that I wouldn't watch 'Wednesday' with her, despite my giving the pilot a chance and hating it. Yet when I choose a show, I usually get five seconds before, "What is this? I don't like it! Turn it off." FML

Same thing different taste

Today, my girlfriend made me watch six hours of "Glee" with her. I don't know what I hate the most, the fact that I actually sat there and watched it or that I'm angry at Finn for breaking up with Rachel. FML

Today, I was watching ESPN. My boyfriend came in, bitched about "boring tv," so I handed him the remote. He put on a Lifetime movie. I must be the only woman in America with this problem. FML

Today, I realized my wife often switches the TV channel from the crime dramas we both like, to Hollywood gossip shows that I can't stand, just to get me to leave the room. From the other room, I can see that she switches back once I've left. She's probably been doing this for years. FML

Passive-aggressive

Today, I voiced my unhappiness to my girlfriend, as I wanted to go to a class before we met her friends this weekend, and she said she hated back-to-back events. It was unfair as she often planned her work before our dates, and ended up being late. She became paggro, all because I want to learn a new skill. FML

Dominance

Today, I have accepted that if I try to spend time with my girlfriend, she will come up with any excuse to avoid me, but when I want to do something by myself, she will be at my elbow every ten seconds, loudly whining that she wants to spend time together and that I'm mean. Talking has yet to fix anything. FML

Today, my mom bitched me out, calling me a selfish pig and saying that the reason I don't have a girlfriend is because I'm so conceited. All of this because I started watching the latest episodes of Breaking Bad without her. FML

Today, a woman left our first date just because I didn't like the same character as her on a TV show. FML

Today, trying to be romantic, I invited my girlfriend over to watch a movie. I said she could pick one up on the way, and I'd pay for it later. I ended up having to suffer through some "movie" that involved nothing but Nicolas Cage gurning like a stroke victim between crappy fight scenes. FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend chooses extra shifts at work over hanging out with me. Every time. She doesn't even like her job. FML

Today, my 24 year old girlfriend plugged her ears and stomped her feet while making really loud noises in our local video store. She then refused to stop until I agreed to rent and watch The Notebook with her. FML

I've had this happen. Solution 1) make some drinks and food and just get through it. 2) Your gf probably has other friends she could watch this with, not every show has to be an as a couple show. *I feel your pain, I wasn't able to make it through the pilot. Show isn't for everyone. I'm told though that the pilot isn't representative of the show.

No, the pilot is pretty much representative of the rest of the show. I watched the whole thing and if you're not intrigued by the pilot, move on to something else. If you want to watch something to convince you to keep Netflix, try "Derry Girls."

I can't blame you -- she's an unlikeable protagonist. It's difficult to get drawn into a story when you don't care to see the main character succeed.

Sounds like you live on a one way street. I’d move on.

There is nothing as ridiculous sounding as when I am watching a TV show and my wife comes in and asks “Are you watching this?” It’s a somewhat more polite way of saying “I want to watch something else”, but the logic is ridiculous… You have several choices - The easiest is to have more than one TV if you can afford that. But if you find you are always in different rooms at home watching different TV programs it does not bode well for your relationship. If two adults cannot agree or compromise on something as trivial as what TV program to watch, how in hell are you going to deal with all the other disagreements in life? … Sadly some people grow up thinking they are going to be the king or queen of their household and everyone is going to bend to their will. Either the two of you are going to have to learn to compromise and get along with each other or the relationship will eventually collapse. The problem isn’t what TV program you watch - It’s learning to compromise and get along.
