My wife makes me watch:
*Strictly Come dancing (which is really, really, really crap),
*Coronation St (which is crap),
*I'm a celebrity get me out of here (which is crap),
*X Factor (which is really crap),
*Eastenders (which is crap),
*Big Brother (whats the point)?
She will start listening to the crap Jo Whiley on the radio soon. I just would not be able to handle that and punches would be thrown.
The list goes on. I get bored of watching these programmes so I go elsewhere in the house, so she gets the face on.
I might bury her in the footings of next doors extension.

With the exception of Strictly Come Dancing.... we don't watch any of the others (Bragging now!!!!). And I have no problem with her watching it because dancing is one of her real interests.. and I can look at the ladies (did I say that?). In fact, she gives me the remote and lets me generally choose.... even though I try to be fair, she will sit through some of the drivel I watch (Star Trek Voyager (Jerry Ryan!) - Sci-fi, war films and docs etc, etc)
As for you burying your missus in the footings of next doors extension... a possibility but not quite deep enough.... you need to find somewhere that she won't be found... in the footings of the Easterners or coronation street sets...
Don't throw any punches!!! Not very masculine... listen to Radio 5 or 7.. that'll P her off
Or you could divorce her on the grounds of mental cruelty!

I can't judge if any of those shows are crap because I have never seen them but I am stuck in the same situation. My husband is hooked on all the motorcycle, auto fix up shows and I get real bored with it. And Mythbusters really annoys me. And the NASA channel is just ridiculous! It shows the rockets sitting there waiting to blast off. Oh my gosh-YAWN!!! I go in the other room, too, and he doesn't like it either. What do we have all those freakin' TVs for then?! He has always said he is going to worry when I tack some plastic up on the wall next to his side of the bed (splatter control). :o)

Nobody makes you do anything you don't want to do, you are an adult and anyway you take yourself off and do something else so how are you watching the programmes. One more thing how do you know if they are what you say unless you have watched them?
If you don't like what your wife is watching you don't need to turn violent you misogynist pig. If there is a problem with your wife's viewing habits why don't you take up a constructive hobby such as learning to take your thumb out of your bottom.

Oh my bf always wants to punch me in the nose when I make him watch the soaps and America's Next Top Model. That's life though, I want to punch him in the face when he comes home from work and puts his mucky boots up on my cream couch. Or when I leave the room for TWO seconds and he (with the speed of lightning) has changed the channel over to Sky News! Gggggrrrrr

Go down the pub and come back steaming drunk, she'll be well p***ed off but you won't care.
Seriously, you should divide TV time so if she's watching two hours of crap TV, you get two hours to watch something you want- or play computer games, whatever you fancy. I have this agreement with my other half and it works, it's fair so we can't complain.
I agree, all those programmes are truly awful. She can't expect you to sit and there watch those!!

Get a massive tv, Put it in the spare room or the bedroom or even better the bathroom (that way she cant go for a tinkle in the ad breaks) hook it up to the cable and get the sport package. Then when she starts on with the rubbish tv, simply disappear to the bathroom for hours on end and watch the footy.
That should chap her ***

i'm previous bitter. i'm bitterer. i'm bitterer about each and every thing you stated and better. The media is having a field day reporting crap that doesn't count number. picking aspects and telling individuals what to imagine and the thanks to imagine. i'm previous bitter that when operating all of my existence, I retired in straight forward words to be sure that my well-being insurance rates tripled, gas doubled, foodstuff expenses are elevating. I truly might want to pay taxes on my low retirement income. Now i'm operating area-time so i'll manage to pay for to pay expenses and eat too. i'm very bitter that Hillary thinks that individuals are satisfied inspite of the help of we are in a recession devoid of bring about sight. That she is authorized to apply the media to attack yet another Democrat for putting forward something which couldn't be better genuine.

Well, if I was on the jury, i wouldn't convict you! I seriously think you have grounds for divorce 'Mental Cruelty'. Draw up a rota, for every 'crap' programme YOU have to watch, make her watch what you want for at least that length of time - or tell her you're going to look for porn on the computer - go down to an internet cafe if need be......

That's the joy of having separate apartments we both get to watch what we want and some time out from each other when needed
