Well, I would suggest a rope, rock and the river. Of course, then you would be watching tv with the inmates. Probably not that great of idea after all. In some cases though, I think it's the perfect solution to a bad situation. My husband does the same thing sometimes. I think they realize your paying more attention to the tv and not them. It has a tendency for the child in them to come out. I really don't think there is a way to stop that. We just watch tv in separate rooms sometimes. We watch different shows. He know when I go in the bedroom to watch my shows he needs to leave me alone. Best Wishes!

When he approaches you while you are viewing a program, since he is going to interrupt anyways, then turn towards him and give a blank stare and as soon as he is done you answer and then say are we done so I can get back to my show, lol That reminds him you were watching a show, the more you do it the less he perhaps may stop interrupting. Though no guarantee, lol

Hiya Mrs. Hatley, This is why I so love myLot as we all get a laugh so often. I especially love to make many laugh as each time I am reminded of something that I might have said I start giggling again. I do enjoy coming to jahernandezrivas discussions because she is always so cheering. I love that she uses the L.O.L. a lot as they certainly bring similes. There are times when she needs some serious sound advice and is always so wonderfully cheery and grateful to all of us who respond.

my case is the other way around lol..when i could see my husband so intent in watching UFC.. i would purposely disturb him and he gets annoyed but he gives in to me hhahhahah since he knows all i want is attention..he barely disturbs me lol..but i do not do that often.. on your part, give him a little bit time before watching and he will not annoy you

This goes to show the value of commercials. =P Talk with him beforehand about this so he knows what it means and what to expect... When you are watching your show, whatever it is, and you see him approaching out of the corner of your eye, put your hand up towards him (you don't even have to turn your eyes away from the tv to do this) before he even reaches you and opens his mouth. This signal should tell him to STOP! That's his part. And he should patiently wait until the commercial comes on. For your part, once the commercial starts, you pay attention to what your husband has to say. But once the commercials are over, it'll be his turn to wait patiently again. And so on and so forth... =P I wonder if he'll be amenable to that. Hahaha. =P

Well, the same experience with me!! I try to focus on television when I get something interisting on it, but my boyfriend was disturb me by ask me to talk more and more.It's so annoying at all, right?? Good thing to devert his attention is making him busy with another thing.I will ask him doing something outside like washing his motorcycle or speak with my neighbour/ family. For certain situation it's working, but when he get bored and just want to talk with me, it become so though

Yes, when he interrupts your watching of the TV, embrace him and hush him to tell him to have it wait until it's commercial time.

It happens to me to a lot of times and not with my hubby but with my kids too and dare anyone speak to him during his news telecast, he will get so angry but for him my programs are just silly nonsense that I like to watch. I now have changed my timing most are generally repeated so I watch them when he is not around . at times i miss them too but then thats what I have to bear to stop getting irritated with him.lolz but I can understand your frustration as I too go through the same with him so many times.

Sounds like you getting back at him whenever you want his attention and he's just daydreaming ... don't deny it :) But anyways, just tell him how important some tv shows are to you and how it makes you feel when he or anybody else for that matter does something to get you out of focus. In my case, it really annoys me when someone even speaks during something I'm trying to watch, pretty grumpy I might say but that's me, so, I think I understand you. Have a great one !

If you find out the secret let me know so I can get my kids to stop bugging me. It's not even just tv it's everything many times it's things they can do for themselves and it urks me to pieces that I have to do something they are to lazy to do.

It happens to me often when I ‘m working! My husband does not seem to take my work as seriously as his and feels that he can chat to me at any time I am writing or ask to use my computer when I’m in the middle of something. What annoys me the most is that he becomes angry if I say to him that he cannot use the laptop because I’m working considering it is MY computer and he has one of his own!

LOL i do that all the time to my mom. She pretty much must be feeling the same as you do but won't tell me. Well unless the show is really interesting and I'm blabbering a bit too much more than usual . I usually ask questions about the drama she's watching. She explains but my questions won't seem to stop

I know exactly how you feel! My roommate does this to me all the time too. It bothers me, but I have to remind myself that human interaction is more important than whatever is on TV. Plus they will probably show it again anyway. I think you should just remember that your relationship with your husband is more important than what is on TV. But if it is still a problem for you then you should just tell him nicely so that he understands without getting offended. Maybe he will understand if you turn it around and ask how he would feel if you interrupted him in the middle of something that he was trying to focus on. I'm sure you can work it out.

Hi ja hernandez r.: I don't know what to say. Actually i've been in both parts. I don't like to be interrupted while being online or watching tv but at the same time, when I usually try to talk to my mother, father or my little sister when they are watching tv and they don't pay me attention I feel somehow angry. It's like: I am more important than what you are watching, pay attention to me!. It's ridiculous that we care too much about these stupid things. ALVARO
