tidal Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 i'm at my SO's for christmas yesterday. seven of us are watching tv in the living room. we start watching some tv show. someone flips the channel and my SO says, "i was watching that." After channel surfing, we end up watching the show he wants to watch. ... Thirty minutes later, someone changes the channel again and he says, "I want to see the show that comes on next." No one else says anything, but I know that no one wants to watch it. So I say, rather jokingly, "Well, you're not the only one in the room." ... I was surprised that some of his family members agreed with me and actually said, "it's about time someone said that." My SO then got up and said he wanted to leave. We left promptly after and things were tense all evening. I tried to talk to him about it. But the most I could get out of him was that he didn't think that what I did was right. That I was mean to him. And he would be mad at me until I made it up to him. ...this happens all the time. Was it right for him to be upset over that? Should I have not said anything? 1
whichwayisup Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 He acted like a big spoiled baby! He needs to get over himself and stop being so selfish. There were other people in the room, he should have been more giving and maybe asked the others what they wanted to watch!! As for how things are with you two in general, he sounds like a jerk, a control freak and someone who only thinks of himself!
Moai Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 You were right, and it sounds like his family knows it, too. He needs to realx and not be so touchy. Nothing on television could be that important anyway.
Freyja Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 You didn't do anything wrong, he's such a baby! Lol, maybe you should just laugh it over, tease him about it. I mean, he can;t be serious about something like this? Maybe he thought you spoke bad about him infront of his parents or put him down, but that just makes him look so controlling. Anyways I think you should ignore it and you shouldn't have to do something to make up for it, instead he should for being such a selfish brat. I say ignore it or if he really makes an issue of it just laugh it over. Also, it might help to talk to him about how you find this rather controlling behaviour and he shouldn't treat you or his family like that. Just discuss it. Good luck.
phyrespryte Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 I don't think you were rude. It wasn't like you shouted at him to stop hogging the tv.
NYCmitch25 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Oh just give him a lolly pop and change his diapers.. f-ing baby..
NYCmitch25 Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Don't discuss this sh*t, tell him to grow some balls and get over it... I can see how he thought you "went against him" and this is probably playing out some strange family dynamic but still, f-it he needs to learn how to take it.. what a baby!
Citizen Erased Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 OMG I had to laugh when I read that. No offence to the Males on here but ALL MEN DO THAT! You have to learn not to get between a man and his telvision. They hold the remote, it's as simple as that. However, his reaction was definetely over the top but just forget about it, he obviously had his Mr Cranky pants on that day. In a week it will be forgotten until he thinks he has the right to the remote again and then tell him how it is, and if necessary, where he can place the remote... Cheers!
