He wants to watch tv?

I cuddled up to my man last night hoping for a bit of lust and he just stared at the tv. I asked him if he was watching the tv and he said yes. I went off to do my nails hoping he would could to bed when the film was finished. He did only to say he was going to stay up to watch the footie. I told him I was disappointed because I wanted to spend some time with him and all he wants to do is watch tv. I turned off the light and he just went back to the tv. I feel so confused between being angry because I feel that the tv is more important than me and feeling I have no right to feel the way I do. It's up to him what he does and I can't make him do what I want. I feel like I am being a big kid about this and am hurt at present. It's good Friday today and we have his daughter here today. I don't know whether to drop this and pretend it didn't happen or give him the cool shouler today or raise it with him?

He wants to watch tv?
Unless he does this on a regular basis - and knows it upsets you - I'd drop it. Sometimes we need 'space' and sit quietly in front of innane TV to just switch off or have a think. Does he interact with people a lot all day - or is he a bit of a loner? either way, he may just need to withdraw into his cave sometimes and it is not about you.





It's Easter - your stepdaughter is over - put some music on, have a glass of wine, talk to a girlfriend - whatever makes you feel a bit happier - and don't take it personally.


Give him a kiss - or a cup of tea, or a smile - to let him know you love him, and don't push it. He will appreciate your understanding.





We cannot expect to get all our love from one person - so maybe you need to 'love' yourself a bit more by doing things that make you feel better - that will boost your self-esteem, and then you will be able to confidently weather these moods.





Make sure you have a close network of family/friends around you who show you love when your man isn't able to.


If you are still worried that there's something wrong, wait til the w/e is over (why spoil the holiday?) and then maybe arrange a date for the two of you. Get out of your comfort zone - go and walk along the beach or take a picnic and eat it in the car - and maybe then you can tackle this with him in a non-controntational manner.





You have every right to feel a bit miffed, it is very understandable and reasonable, but think smart now and try not to rely on him for ALL your happiness. The lighter mood will probably do the trick all by itself. Good luck - and Happy Easter! At least there's some choc on the offer:)
Reply:Wake him up in the middle of the night if you want some thats what I do. Or tell him hey we are turning off the TV, cook a nice dinner dress a little sexy. Tell him how much you miss him. If he doen't respond maybe there is more wrong and you should seek counciling.
Reply:just wait...untill the little one is gone...THEN bring it up.





Its not worth being cold and not talking when the little one is there....that would be wrong.





besides. act like nothing happened, even though it really is hurting you...and when the time comes, and your man is ready,,,,,you are not.... ;-)


you watch a movie...it will be hard...but do it.


Then later, when the movie is finshed, you can ask him how he liked it...
Reply:Perhaps he was just tired after a days work.If it continues to happen you will need to work this problem out with him.Good Luck and Happy Easter.
Reply:don't give him the cold shoulder.....My husband and I have been together for 7 years now and are as happy as we were the first month of dating. I believe we are so Happy because we communicate, we let each other know how we feel .


don't bottle up your feelings it is only going to drive you crazy and he will never know what you feeling. don't yell, don't argue. just sit him down and let him know how you feel. you may be surprised to find out he don't even know he upset you.


good luck
Reply:I can totally relate. My boyfriend can be a couch potato and sometimes I think he loves the tv more than me. I complain and complain, but he still continues to watch tv until he is ready to go to bed. I'm at a standstill and I will say one thing, it pisses me off. There should be a balance in my eye's and it sounds like your husband may just be selfish as far as showing you attention. I deal with this same situation every single day and it drives me nuts.
Reply:tell him how you feel and that you are wondering if there is anything you can do for him...
Reply:Grow up , ask for what you want don't leave stuff to chance....
Reply:Ok, for the last time ... GUYS CANNOT READ WOMEN'S MINDS!!! All your subtle little gestures and what not are useless. If you want to get laid, just say it. The TV will be off in two seconds.. GEEESH!!
Reply:c'mon give the guy a break what if he was upset of sth what if he was sad and didnt wanna upset u too, dont be selfish, dont give him the cold shoulder today since ur havin his kid but talk to him in a nice way when she leaves like ask him ( how do you feel honey? what was wrong yesterday? ) even if he didnt say a thing thats okay cause hes gonna tell you later just keep on bein nice to him
Reply:Sounds like your being a little unreasonable





Girls expect us to read their minds, and I think it's been proven many times over that overall, not our best asset as guys.





If you want to fool around, either give stronger hints or flat out say it.
Reply:Its hard but you need to tell him whats wrong otherwise it will just get worse.





P.s if it gets really bad have and unfortunate accient with a hammer and every tv in the house
Reply:perhaps he's just not in the mood.... you know I'm sure
Reply:tell him how u feel


he should't be doing this
Reply:SOME men's sexual needs are different. All they need is a quick poke and they are done. Women need much more. But you need to talk to him and tell him how you feel. If he's hardheaded it won't make a difference. If he truly wants to make you feel good he'll listen. Men are strange creatures sometimes. Don't blame yourself and NEVER be in a relationship that is not making you happy. good luck.
Reply:Personally, I would say it could be passed off as him just not wanting to be especially intimate that night. However, it would not hurt to ask him why he was like that on that night. I do not recommend giving him the cold shoulder or just passing it off as nothing, though. Giving him the cold shoulder could very well raise a stressful situation and cause more anger beyond what you have already had; and passing it off as nothing could show a lack of concern or cause him to think you did not notice at all nor care very much about what he does. I hope I was of some help to you.
Reply:Just tell him how insignificant it's making you feel. It's not fair that he should be making you feel this way just so he can watch TV.


Men aren't mind-readers, and he probably won't understand why you're upset unless you explain!
Reply:He's probably just got something on his mind I would just give it time he will probably get better.
Reply:LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE AND SAY MOUSE
Reply:i think u should jus drop it....for the gurl u no
Reply:tell him to go forth and multiply , then get a new man , no real man sits watching telly when there is sex on offer !!! ,
Reply:How about stop expecting him to read your mind and say what you want? Do you just sit there or do you kiss him and touch him. Maybe he just wanted a nice relaxing evening. Communication is the key to everything.
Reply:dude! you should talk to him. he needs to know how you feel. be honost.
Reply:That's hard. You know every relationship has it's 'ups and downs. And you aren't both going to be in the mood every time.





It's probably a good idea to drop it while his daughter is there, let him enjoy his time with her and you together. (it's possible that was what was distracting him)





If the TV is a common distractor for your relationship, then the TV isn't really the problem, it's just the tool being used. Try to figure out what the problem is, and if it helps get the topic on the table.. have the cable turned off for a week :P





You sound like you love him and want to work on the relationship - and that is a great place to be at! It'll work out - don't sell yourself short.
Reply:You need to talk to him about it, there might be other reasons. Just wait until his daughter leaves, you don't want to spoil the time he has with her. Try to let it slide and act as normal as you can until his daughter leaves.
Reply:For the sake of his daughter, don't start a fight. But definitely let him know how you feel.
Reply:how about at night time tell him u have to talk to him, and when u get him to your room, pull his pants down give him a bj and then rock him till the wheels fall off!!!!! there is no way he will ignore u then...unless he is a closet homo
