Whenever my ex and I used to kiss and makeout and the t.v. was on, he was always watching t.v. out of the corner of his eye. And laughing mid-kiss if they said something funny on t.v while were kissing. He paid more attention to the t.v. than me. This always really bothered me and upset me. I don't know if I'm overreacting. Would you just laugh it off or would it bother you too?

*WAS I overracting. I'm still not used to being single so it's weird to use pretenses still.

if he's yer EX, yer overreacting now. Who cares?
If you were still with him it'd be a ligitimate beef.

How long has he been your ex? Either not long, or you're still bothered about it, or something he said. If you're in a serious relationship, and the attention to the television is habitual, then no, you weren't overreacting. If someone can't pay any attention to you when you are imbedded in the romantic part, what would happen if the relationship continued? Find someone who digs you. I can tell you for a fact, that in most cases, if my gf starts making out with me while something is on the tube, I'm all about her. But then, she's really good at making out.

I am glad for all the reactions, but I also find it very ignorant that the damn thing must always play. I have to eat with an ear at the table. (our tv stands 90 degreees next to the table, and I am looking at my bf's ear all the time. He can't even say what he has just been eating, just watching the news... And we only eat together about once or twice a week. So I might be overreacting too then. Damn tv!

If he does it all the time then no you are not over reacting I just stop kissing him at all because if he was my boyfriend and very time we are kissing in front of the t.v I stop kissing him and tell him to kiss them cause I'm coo. But if it's every now again and it was funny then ya you are over reacting, TLC and TV are two separate time

Depends. Ive made out while Leno was on... and started laughing right in the middle. But that was one time.
If he is more interested in the tv than your lips... you need to chuck him to the side because he doesnt care for you. He just wants your body.
Next time, stop right in the middle. And turn off the tv. then tell him he can watch tv all he wants... but NOT while youre making out. if he has a problem with it... there is your answer.

Hell yeah it would bother me too.I feel my BF is always playing games 24/7 and i never get his attention til bed time.I told him what i thought of his games and now he pays attention to me.I only let him play 2 hours a day rather than hours and hours.I think its a guy thing and we as women just love the attention way too much.Try to talk to him and see if you guys can agree on somethings.Like what could you do to make him pay attention to you and what could he do to minimize his TV watching time so that you guys could have some one on one time.

honestly it all depends on u, if the guy iz really worth while then just let it go but this seems to be bothering u so why not confront him? the worst that can happen iz he gets mad or u 2 break up but if so then just move on to a guy who doesnt watch tv and makeout. if he really likes u he'll understand and stop. best of luck!

It would bother me. Kissing is intimate and nothing worse to make a person feel less significant is when their spouse pays more attention to the t.v. than them. However, he is now your ex and your aren't kissing him anymore so move on!

Sheesh. Turn off the TV. It's addictive for everyone, not just your EX. People can't help but to watch the bloody thing. If you're leaving the TV on while you are making out you're asking for trouble.

Honestly it would bother me but then I would address it with my lady and insure the TV was off. I am guilty of listening to the TV myself wheile sitting with my wife and her trying to talk to me. The TV is a distraction to quality time so agree to shut it off when quality time is desired but leave it on and share the kisses with the laughs when it is just simply spending time together.

Hell no you're not overreaction...he's RUDE, I'm glad he's your ex, in the future when you have "make out sessions" turn off the t.v.
