Re-runs, sports events, new shows, old movies, new movies, news, MTV crap, even the Weather Channel, etc etc etc. It doesn't matter what's on, or on what channel. If he's home from work, that TV has got to be one.
It's making me crazy and I feel a major blow-out fight coming on soon. I despise TV and watch maybe 2 hours of it in an entire month.
He was raised with a TV in every room and free reign to watch as much as he pleased. I was not allowed to watch TV, period. Suggestions, anyone?

You hit the nail on the head and it boils down to the difference in how you both were raised. He sounds like he likes it as much as you don't like it. Have you talked to him about it...before blowing up sit down and really talk it out. Come to a compromise....find activities that you both enjoy and go do them instead of the tube most of the time for him. Our childhood plays a huge part in how we are molded and that was a part of his upbringing, which you know will take time to change. It would be like him asking you to sit and watch tons of t.v..........it would be hard and you wouldn't like it. Hopefully, you will come to a solution that will work for both of you!!

first reprogram the tv timer to shut the tv off after 5 seconds of playing, then take the remote to a electronics shop anbd have them rewire it so that every button works like the power button, that way he can't change the channels or the menu, then don't pay the cable bill and don't buy an antenna that way there is only static to watch on the tv.
then sit down with him and tell him that the mairage is heading for a divorce because he doesn't spend enough time with you and if that happens then you will take away his tv and also any money that he has so he can't even buy a tv and he will be left with no wife and no tv

Lifetime network usually makes my bf leave the room! LOL!
Seriously, though, try planning events that get you out of the house. Go to dinner, a bookstore, take a walk, go to the movies. If you're doing other things, then he won't be glued to the TV and you'll spend some quality time together.
Good luck!

because the detrimental dude doesn't pick the nighttime end. He needs to 'stretch it' as a lot as plausible because he's conscious he has to bypass decrease back quickly. do not get after him, the detrimental guy is purely wishing for the nighttime no longer to end so undesirable... purely get him some business enterprise, or a minimum of on the accurate of the week get him quite drained, the way only females can, and then he will be quite rested even as getting up...

My husband likes tv too. He esp. loves golf shows and cooking shows. I spend time with my friends, take classes, and spend time online here & there. My husband will do things with me when I ask, however.
If he won't do things with you when you ask, you need to find other activities and if he's not interested in making more of an effort to be active in the marriage, consider why you stay married to him. When you have kids, how will he make time for them? Time he gets off his butt if he wants to stay married. Give him a time limit per day if he's that much of a child.

My grandmother hates TV too, so the story goes that she walked through the room naked with a rose in her teeth and my grandpa didn't even notice. When she came back in the room, and said he didn't even notice, he asked how he could make it up to her, and she said unplug the thing.

Sure. I suggest you put on a pair of high heels, a robe and nothing else. Stand in front of the television, show him what he's missing and tell him he can watch television, or he can watch you.. his choice. I'm sure the television will be off for some time.

stand in frnot of the tv and do a slow strip tease for him. Now, if that doesnt get him going and forget the tv, check his pulse, maybe he died in the tv watching position...
