Question - (23 September 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 September 2012)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I dont even know if this is anything but it is bothering me a lot. Ive brought it up with my bf but he just laughs and thinks it is nothing. I have wondered if it is a control thing with him. For example, if i am watching tv in the lounge, and he comes home

Or comes into the room, he will just take the remote and change the channel. If i get in first and he cant get the remote, he will sit down and whige about how crap the tv show Is and give me a runnig comentary of how bad it Is until i give up and give him the remote. We have two tvs. Another thing is, if i go to bed and am asleep when he comes to bed, he will continue to stay up and watch tv in the bedroom, with the tv loud and him laughing, this will happen till past 4am, continually waking me up. This is also stopping us beig more intimate too. I end up fallig asleep waiting for him to come to bed. I know its only a small thing about a tv. Is it aboit him wantig control or him just being a jerk!? There are many other examples i could list that makes me think this way.

Thank u for the replies. I wrote the original post. To clear it up, i do not let him do this. I will tel him

I am watching this and when its finished he can watch his or go into the other room. If he takes the remote i will take it back but he gets all stroppy then. He thinksnhe is the man therefore he has the right first. In regards to the bed isue ive told him so many times not to be so loud, to keep tv low etc but it

Doest work. He knows i am not happy about it but just laughs.

Im not sure where you get that i never inniate sex. I get up 3 hours earlier than him each day so i am tired a lot earlier in the evening. Lately he wants to watch all these tv shows that go late so by tje time he comes to bed i am asleep and he wanta sex at 12am. Often i have put on sometjing nice suprise him when e said he was coming to bed but i emded up falling asleep coz he took over an hour. He will lay in bed with his back to me watcjig tv amd readig a magazine until 12am. Lately it has been hard to

Initiate it.

Honeypie agony auntI think it's about him being a jerk more then controlling and honestly.... you are letting him.

Tell him to go watch something else in the other room if he doesn't like what YOU are watching. And ASK him nicely to NOT watch tv in the bedroom if you are already in there asleep. It's common manners.

As for not having any intimacy, do you EVER initiate it?
