[ - ] Is this normal behavior: two people are in a room having a conversation. One person, we'll call him DH, gets us. The second person, DW, says, "Where're you going?" DH says, "To the kitchen." Time passes and DH does not return. DW finds him on the sofa in the other room watching TV. Isn't it normal/courteous to say, "I'm tired of talking, I want to veg in front of the TV," or similar, rather than just leaving the conversation and not coming back? 19 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

It's not even that -- it wasn't "a talk" or anything, just what do you want for dinner, DD wet her pants at camp today, what time are we going to visit the people who forgot to teach you anything about being sensitive to anyone else's feelings? -- he's left the room when we're watching TV and gone into the other room to watch something else without even mentioning it. I'll think he's gone to the bathroom, and 20 minutes later I find him watching elsewhere. It's like he thinks he's here alone. [ Reply | More

BTDT a zillion times. The thing is, when he's said something bothers him (e.g. me putting my purse on the dining table), I've made a conscious effort not to do it any more. To me, if it is important to him, it is important to me. To him, if it is important to me... What's on ESPN? [ Reply | More

Dude, if what you are doing can make me cry, then maybe you need to think a bit about your behavior. Took myself for a long walk, came back, and his eyes never left the screen. Have decided that I am not speaking to him until he apologizes to me (which he is incapable of doing, and he also can't accept an apology, this is how his parents are as well) -- should be a GREAT weekend!

Yeah, has zero consideration for anyone else. Acts like he lives alone, just goes about his thing. Sees nothing wrong with parking it on the sofa for HOURS AND HOURS and letting me do everything -- laundry, kids, etc. Pretty much only helps if I ask. If he, say, empties the DW on his own, I make a point to say, "Thanks." He does not ever thank me for the 9 zillion times more stuff I do (without being asked), and then also expects praise for doing whatever little bit of housework he has done. [ Reply | More

yea, i know and it is SO frustrating. I mean I even stooped as low as to watch it with him, and it just didn't work. I felt stupid and fat. Which, I am really not that bad to look at , if I don't say so myself. But, I am real, their not. [ Reply | More

What kind of porn is he into? I find it a useful window on whatever inner workings they have. Standard meat 'n potato porn vs. kinkier/fetish, etc. [ Reply | More

I have found my sex drive stronger than 99% of men I dated. I think the idea of sexually charged men is largely a myth. [ Reply | More

I'm the same way, but it still is a horrible feeling to have your husband sleep on the couch, mostly for the reason I think to piss me off and so he won't have to accidently have sex. [ Reply | More

OR: Its all about power and control. If he knows you want sex then withholding it is a good "punishment". [ Reply | More

OP: I do think it is an act of passive aggressive behavior. I am getting ready to throw the couch out the door. Seriously [ Reply | More

The whole sleeping on the couch thing started almost the same month that I got pregnant with my oldest....He really has no reason to be mad at me, I haven't had any major offenses. [ Reply | More

2, 2, 2. There really cant be that many that actually make sense for a family, once you take into account things like philosophy, academic level/rep, location, religion, etc. I really found like we found 2 perfect fits for dc, and I feel like, based on the results, we were right. And so glad we didn't waste a ton of time, or burn out dc with the process. [ Reply | More
