At the age of 24,She is still fascinated by reality shows,as if they were still a Novelty.The problem is that she gets an attitude,when I say,"I want to watch the Rockets." I've tried reforming her evil ways,but I always end up failing. Infact,I'm probably the only guy on this board that can name all the contestants from Project Runway I was informed,earlier today, that tonight we will be viewing the season premiere of WORKOUT on the Bravo network.More than likely,I will miss an entire Quarter of Basketball!!What if Rafer actually makes a teardrop and I miss it??My mind is telling me to overthrow this evil dictatorship,but my heart says I've invested too much on this girl How have you guys handled a similar situation? :sighs:sometimes I miss my Ex,she was a Yaoist in the purest form.Maybe if Kiana Tom was hosting "the Workout" this would be alot easier for me,I don't know.
Conquistador, sorry our store ran out of "balls on loan" so your going to have to come back next week...
She has you posting in pretty colours too. Time for another TV. Sports is the only reality show that matters.
my wife watches all that crap too. I find it very easy to make her watch it in the bedroom while I watch the Rockets on the big screen. Occasionally, I am forced into watching her shows with her to build up good will, but since she hasn't watched a Rockets game with me all season, I've pretty much dropped that.
You really have to ask yourself if this relationship is able to be saved. No sports...and being subjected to reality shows. Is this what you want your life to devolve into?
Ok i can actually give you some real advice. I love to watch soccer(Basketbal is not shown that often in holland). My girlfriend hate it. She love shows as: desperate house wifes, america's next top model you know that crap. We made an agreement, for every hour soccer i get to watch she can watch an hour those anoying shows. We mostly watch both things together(i usualy read when she watches her shows, but i sit next to her). This works pretty good for us. Maybe you can arrange such a thing with your girl. It is fair. Otherwise, get a second tv, and watch basketbal on it
DUMP that b*tch like she was your quarterback for 5 losing years NOW. Seriously, man. You call yourself a man and DON'T have the remote control? Houston was made of soldiers... of men of honor and valor... enjoy your breakfast... for TONIGHT, when the ROCKETS play... you will DINE IN HELL!!!!
Wow.... Is it your TV? If so, then make the ****ing rules about what will be watched when. If not, get your own TV or go watch the game in a bar. One sided relationships are doomed to failure, but for better or worse, it is usually the female who is the one who gets walked all over. If a woman plays the "b****," she has a much higher likelyhood of being able to right her ship, find a better relationship, and move on with her life. She has a better support network to make that happen, and less emotional baggage to carry around. You on the other hand......if a "man" plays the b**** in a relationship, he's damn near doomed for a life of misery. Take control of your life now.....before its too late.
I have an understanding with mine. I get to watch my Rockets as long as she can have her goofy shows like Project Runway, Project Chef, Project Desperate Housewives and Project Greys Anatomy. If they're on at the same time as my Rockets, she DVR's her show and watches it after the Rockets. She also gets the remote during timeouts and halftime. I'm pretty lucky in that she doesn't like me to talk during her shows (I have a tendency to HECKLE them), so I can actually get some peace and quite while she watches them.
I don't care how much time you've invested, based on this alone I think you should break up with her immediately.
I agree with Harrisment here. Not only because the ROCKETS should be above and beyond any other form of entertainment while the game is on, but because I know Harrisment is taller than me and'll kick my *ss would he see me in public knowing I disagreed with him.
