Thread: A good way to bare it...

NO1 gives good advice. The two of you are not joined at the hip. There are things I like that my lady does not and viceversa. spend time on your own.

Just becuase you are having a relationship with someone doesn't mean you have to give up your personality/likes/dislikes. If he INSISTS you watch the football with him, then it is time the two of you had a very serious talk!

I know for me, I cant stand certian tv sitcoms and can only watch so much myth busters. He cant stand animal cops and gets bored with CSI but we adore cuddling up on the couch together. If he is watching and its something I can live without, I will read a book or something while he watches. That way I am available to him to chat with and cuddle with but dont have to be involved in whatever he is watching. He plays on the laptop if its something I am watching that he is not interested in but want him snuggled up to me. Fairs fair tho...you make him watch top model, he is perfectly within his right to ask you to watch football with him.

Uneeklyme,

I could not have stated it better. I totally agree and feel exactly the same way. It's all about the intimacy, the being close and you dont have to watch the same thing or do the same things to have that.
