Does anyone have this problem...?

Question

My significant other gets mad at me if I play on the computer in the evening while he sits and watches tv and / or sleeps on the couch. But if I turn off the computer, he still just sleeps on the couch. If I try to watch someting on tv, he says he's watching whatever, then falls back to sleep and starts snoring.
Would it be better if I just sat in a corner with my mouth taped shut and my hands tied behind my back during the evenings? Does this happen to anyone else?

Answer 1

This person whom you describe may be jealous of you on the computer. He may be worried that you are talking to other people or creating a life for your self. This is His Problem. This is about His jealousy I think.
Is this clear? This is about control. He wants to control you. LIke you said if you go to him to watch the tv, it is still what He wants, You by his side only focusing on Him. He falls asleep, He knows where you are and exactly what you are doing.
Take this opinion for what it is worth. Hope I have perhaps shed some light upon this behavior.

Answer 2

Significant other means you're not married? I don't know your background, obviously, but unless there's something really special in your relationship (if there was, I doubt you'd have this problem), you owe it to yourself to tell him straight up. He doesn't seem to care too much about you if he chooses tv and sleeping over you. If he brushes you off or laughs, he doesn't care about your feelings, and you don't need to be with him. This happens to plenty of couples, via lack of communication. When the initial spark goes away, couples stop talking and drift apart. If you should be with him, he'll care. If he doesn't, go find someone who does.

Answer 3

Wow he sounds obnoxious! I'd say you should wait till he's asleep, then tape HIS mouth shut and tie his hands behind his back, then watch whatever you want and goof off on the puter at the same time.
Kidding :D

Answer 4

he sounds selfish and controlling to me. he doesnt want you to be doing what you want to do while he's asleep thats not fair. what benefit does he get by you not watching tv or getting on the computer? believe me, honey there are a million guys out there that would love to sit up and watch tv WITH you instead of sleeping the whole relationship. do yourself a favor and drop this guy. you can do alot better and that is alot of mess you shouldnt have to put up with or even consider putting up with. and talking to them doesnt help either 9 times outta 10 because it'll be almost impossible to convince him that what he's doing is wrong. move on with your life and better yourself, sweetheart.

Answer 5

Yes the exact ... But I will not stop what I'm doing because I like it. And he now after many months, has finally stopped bugging me. I stoppped in the beginning, and watched tv with him, I constantly kept asking him questions and I think he got so annoyed thats why now he says nothing. Try it...

Answer 6

Maybe a better thing is to tape your bf mouth shut and tie his hands, then you can do whatever you want.

Answer 7

Answer 8

My hubby says I spend way too much time on the computer,but he does the same as your partner does. It doesn't phase me anymore when he complains. I don't tell him what to do with his free time,and I won't let him tell me what I can do with mine.

Answer 9

tell him to shut up and go back to sleep

Answer 10

sounds like a typical relationship, too bad though
