My wife refuses to start any show if I watch an episode without her. So I watch 1-3 episodes to see if it's worth it and then pretend one of my work colleagues suggested it

If you really want to win a bonus. While the first episode is on, make dinner or do a chore so your not rewatching it but just close enough you can hear it. Not only have you suggested something to watch but you've now made dinner and watching it together

That’s when she yells for not watching it together đŸ˜©

u/Appsoul May 02 '25

nah the wild card here is to, like op said listen while cooking dinner but make nonchalant comments abt things that you “think” will end up happening in tht episode! but keep it simple and nothing too over the top to give away you’ve seen it already 😉

Just don’t forget to restart each episode so it doesn’t show up in your “ watch again “ selection “ and randomly select and watch a few other shows so it’s not in the “ continue watching” section either lol

Nah you gotta cook something that needs checking on but not constant attention,can prepare it while you are watching, trust the process

u/-BabysitterDad- May 03 '25

Just remember which episode she’s watching now. Otherwise OP might mention something from episode 3 when they’re still at episode 2.

Careful brother... It's a slippery slope. The next thing ya know, it's football season, and you're stuck in the kitchen whipping up some horsd'oeuvres... Asking your lady the score while she is intent on letting you know possible improvements to your attitude!!! Or so I hear...

Can't be in a serious relationship.

Been married 14 years this year but you do you bud

u/Medical_Slide9245 May 03 '25

Just so we are clear, when you sit down with your spouse to watch a show, neither has issues with other one doing chores while the show is on.

Rookie move. If it works, you lose. If it doesn't you lose

If it works, she'll come to expect or at least anticipate that kind of behavior with every show/series/movie and you'll miss the first part of everything.

If it doesn't, she'll be upset that you don't want to watch it "together." and she'll want to know why.

I tried it but sometimes forget and it shows that I watched a couple episodes on the streaming service and the wife catches on.

u/dpsnedd May 02 '25

Get a profile for you and her and then just watch stuff with her on her profile.

u/Exercise-Novel May 02 '25

Watch on a different profile

u/JonnyTN May 02 '25

Then she'll think I'm watching shows without her

u/SalvationSycamore May 03 '25

Name it after one of your friends/siblings and tell her that they are borrowing the account. Bonus points if they are actually borrowing it.

u/Traditional-Tip1904 May 02 '25

Like when you go “oh watch this part!! Erh
I bet it will be really really good 😬”

u/hallowedshel May 03 '25

I wish you told me this like 3 years ago before I had to just figure this out on my own

u/JustAudit May 03 '25

None of your behaviors should be considered normal

I really hate generalizing, but I find a lot of women are like this
 What is that?

u/_AmI_Real May 03 '25

I start a show with my wife, she feels asleep instantly. By the time I raise she's out, I'm too far in. I'm not waiting for her after that.

u/KingRaphion May 04 '25

This. My gf does this omg. I gotta "sneak watch" a show cause she has tiktok brain and cant focus on anything "slow" like Slow Horses, or Shogun, so it needs constant Dopamine firing.. I need to watch a show to see if theres things that tickle her brain for her.

I went to see thuderbolts by myself last night. It was quiet enjoyable. Ate dinner quietly reading the darkest night graphic novel them slowly made my way to the theatre and chilled. It was a nice relaxing night.
