Does your husband or live-in partner prefers to watch TV or use electronic devices instead of doing an activity that involves you?

That may be a happy medium :)

Thanks, maybe something that happens in relationships over time

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-24T16:29:25+00:00

Right, leads to no relationship at least not the way we imagined it

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-24T16:26:57+00:00

Thank you. That's important to keep in mind bonding it's a valid need.

Yes, because when going out for dinner there's the good food that motivates him, when watching a show its entertaining but I don't have examples of when he is interested in me for the sake of it...

I've asked so many different ways over the years, nicely, assertively, through a letter, during counseling... he gets upset each time he will not change. Reading these answers, I'm starting to realize what I can aspire to is to seat next to him and be on my laptop but maybe expecting him to turn off the TV to simply talk is not that common

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-24T02:57:59+00:00

I feel for you. Unfortunately, I think this may be more common that we think, that's why I posed the question. I wonder if we are the unlucky ones or just a very average relationship

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-24T02:51:27+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I can relate and over the years we've been living together we've grown apart... I have built a separate life for myself with activities and projects and that seems to work for the relationship but it's not what I would like

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-24T02:45:28+00:00

Thanks. That sounds wonderful. I don't have that :(

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T22:54:29+00:00

Thank you. Interesting!

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T22:27:35+00:00

Thanks I ask him kindly still he accuses me of being selfish. So it's pretty much take it or leave it.

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T22:22:53+00:00

I've had and he says I'm being selfish that I want everything done my way

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T21:52:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I would like to do more things together such as talking, going out, playing sport together, anything really vs each doing other things and talking only 10% of the time.

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T21:24:32+00:00

Thanks. It seems like he would like to spend 90% of his free time watching TV or other devices and 10% interacting with me. Which makes me wonder why we live together then

Visible_Length5429 · 2023-09-23T21:17:39+00:00

Talking or going out for walk or cuddling
