There are some shows DH watches when I'm asleep or OOT because I have no interest. The shows that he has no interest in I usually watch them before I go to work or when he's OOT. Very rarely will we watch something together that we don't agree on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270456 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 16:29:36 +0000 wonderstruck 2270456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Together. Generally his shows are too gory for me, but I get sucked in anyways. Waiting for Gotham to come back next month. And my shoes are usually too stupid for him (ABc Family stuff like Switched at Birth and The Fosters) and he acts like he doesn't care, but he ends up asking a million questions to get caught up when I do watch an episode without him, haha. </p> <p>We only have one TV, which is in the living room. And we don't have a basement or any offices or anything, so that's probably part of the reason why - it's hard to get TV time alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270455 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 16:09:38 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2270455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He watches stuff after I'm asleep. I sometimes watch something at naptime but not that often. I don't find time for it much these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270443 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 15:28:18 +0000 mrsjyw 2270443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lil TV we watch we watch together though I have some Netflix shows I watch since I'm home more without him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270433 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 14:53:55 +0000 littlebug 2270433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watch almost everything together. I watch So You Think You Can Dance, which he'll tolerate from time to time; it's the same with me and Ray Donovan. What often happens is one of us will start our show while the other is busy, and then the other just sits through the end of it, usually doing something on our phone or the computer. But everything else we watch together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270416 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 14:11:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2270416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually have a big issue with this.</p> <p>He works til 11 pm, so I usually will watch one show in between when the girls go down and when he comes home. So it's technically "my show." But then, when he happens to be home early or when he has a day off, he will watch the show with me and from that point on considers it "our show" and gets mad if I watch an episode without him.</p> <p>Just recently I started this random show called "Complication" on USA. My goal was to have it as a show I could watch when he's at work. Well, he watched one episode with me, and then last night he was all sassy because I was an episode ahead of him! It drives me NUTS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270405 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 13:38:46 +0000 PawPrints 2270405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost all shows together. It's actually a challenge for me to find shows he won't be interested in so I have something to watch when he's busy or not around, like these months when I'm on maternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270400 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 13:27:19 +0000 Mae 2270400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. We have shows we watch together but then I have shows I watch alone (I SAH so I have more time). DH watches sports alone. He doesn't really have any other shows he watches alone because he doesn't have a ton of time here without me (and if we are together we watch things together mostly unless there are sports). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270302 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 08:44:12 +0000 FaithFertility 2270302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Together, but lately since I am back to work he watches sports in bed while I do work (teacher) in bed as well....he ehelps cut, laminate and such too....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270301 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 08:42:12 +0000 lawbee11 2270301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Together. Though he WFH a few days a week so he has shows he'll watch while he eats lunch. But when we're both home we watch together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270300 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 08:41:54 +0000 travellingbee 2270300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't watch much TV. By the time DS goes to bed, I'm pooped and pretty much go to bed. Sometimes DH will go watch TV by himself. Sometimes we'll watch a show in bed together (maybe once a week?) sometimes DH will just play on his phone and go to bed.</p> <p>ETA: ha ha and that pretty much sums up our sex life right now. Tired pregnany woman passes out at 8:30 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270294 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 08:09:00 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2270294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He watches his shows whenever he wants, however much he wants. God forbid I watch one of my shows while he's in the room. He can't stop talking about how stupid it is or when can he change the channel?? We have a few shows we watch together but we only watch those together if he isn't watching what he wants. It's an issue here. A first world issue. But still an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270291 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 07:58:01 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2270291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. We have our mutual shows we enjoy watching together and our shows we like to watch but the other person doesn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270278 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 07:26:47 +0000 MrsADS 2270278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. I'm less of a TV watcher than him, so we have a few things we both like that we watch together (depending on the time of year). He is always also in the middle of another couple of series, too - usually something pretty dark and violent that I am not watching! (Seriously, can't handle it with pg hormones - I don't know what the deal is!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270276 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 07:21:05 +0000 plantains 2270276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly watch shows together but I watch reality tv on my own because DH doesn't like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270209 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 23:41:01 +0000 yin 2270209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watch together and separately. He watches anime during his lunch hour, and I watch documentaries/pbs shows while I wash dishes. After the kids go to bed and clean up a bit, we usually sit on the couch and enjoy a show or movie together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270201 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:51:46 +0000 autumnlove 2270201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both but mostly together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270200 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:51:30 +0000 BSB 2270200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @Mrs. Pen: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270195 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 22:38:21 +0000 ms.line 2270195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watch almost everything together - we have pretty similar taste in media. Sometimes when he's alone he watches Archer, and when I'm alone I occasionally dig up some Teen Mom. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270167 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:37:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2270167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost entirely together. We only have one TV and I'd rather watch a show with him than a show I might like slightly better alone. I have a couple of shows I watch alone that I will watch while I'm folding laundry or something during the day. We are both pretty good at compromising on the tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270165 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:35:18 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2270165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! We have some series that we both love so we watch those together. Other things though only one of us is interested in so we just watch on our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270163 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:32:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2270163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH barely watches tv so I can't wait for him for shows anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270161 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:30:33 +0000 californiadreams 2270161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both. But lately DH hasn't been into any shows so I just watch them alone. Or he loses interest and I finish them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270159 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:28:55 +0000 jhd 2270159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We each have our own shows we watch individually and then a few series that we are watching together on Netflix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270147 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:05:12 +0000 Mrs. Peanut 2270147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watch most shows separately, but some we watch together. We just have different tastes in programs. :silly:</p> <p>ETA: Shows I'm watching now include Bachelor in Paradise, Teen Mom, and Catfish. DH doesn't like reality tv so...it's hard to find middle ground sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270143 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 21:02:03 +0000 katsupgirl 2270143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our current family fav is American Ninja Warrior. My DD loves making obstacle courses afterwards. I control the tv and my DH is pretty tolerant so he watches whatever I'm watching (General Hospital and Real Housewives included. ) :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270126 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:42:58 +0000 kitty 2270126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have shows we watch together, like we just finished watching Daredevil and we have watched Game of Thrones. We generally like to pick shows that are already out on DVD and just get it all and watch the series over a period of time, like when we watched the Stargate series and Battlestar Galactica. We love to watch them and comment on what's happening as it happens, and make fun of silly things.</p> <p>Then I have shows like Vampire Diaries and True Blood that I watch on my own, because my husband thinks they are super dumb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270125 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:42:13 +0000 chopsuey 2270125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few we watch together and we watch separately too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270124 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:42:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2270124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both! We watch some shows together that we both love.<br /> But he hasn't plenty of his own, and I have many of my own, that we watch individually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-tv-shows-together-or-separately-from-your-so#post-2270115 Fri, 21 Aug 2015 20:31:36 +0000 mrbee 2270115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually watch tv shows separately from Bee, but we've been watching Humans on AMC together. It's something fun we can look forward to together, and we usually end up hanging out the whole evening. The hard part is that sometimes she can't watch the next episode for a while, and then I have to wait a few days.... haha first world problems.</p> <p>I think for the future we will keep watching most shows on our own, but pick at least one fun one that we can only watch together. Humans is great because it raises lots of interesting questions that we can talk about afterward. Plus it's just good acting and a fun show.</p> <p>Do you watch TV shows together or separate from your SO? </p>
