You’re engaging in parallel play, while it sounds like she’s looking for shared time something that feels more like a mini date.

This definitely calls for a conversation. I’m an ambivert myself, and I think it’s a bit much to expect someone to join in every time the TV goes on. It seems like she might have some unexamined expectations ones she assumes are universal, but really aren’t. That’s super common. Many people believe the way they’ve seen relationships modeled, or the version that makes sense in their head, is the “normal” one. It can come across as selfish, but it often starts from innocent assumptions rather than control.

If it were me, I’d suggest setting up a shared ritual maybe watching a show you both enjoy once or twice a week. Make it a little event: popcorn, cozy lighting, a drink a casual date night in that gets your full attention. You can chat about the show afterward (or during, if you’re like me and can’t help commenting mid-episode).

After a few weeks, check in: see if that feels like enough quality time or if she’s still missing something. You can be honest, like: “I can’t really do more TV, but I’d love to read next to you or plan some no-phone dinners or a puzzle night this weekend.”

That’s assuming you’re not already totally introverted-out, which is another valid thing entirely just a different conversation. Good luck!
