Stupid Big Brother

my wife is already a couch potatoe and has gotten hooked on Big Brother the TV shows. She tends to be so invested that she thinks they live real life on the show then talks about it all day. Like I give a damn wasting my life watching soap operas.

What a waste of space she is becomming, it just pisses me off

" I can relate to what you mean - If I don't stay occupied, I can go from bored to true maniac.

Try to engage her in activities you enjoy that would be more beneficial. Buy her a copy of the NYTimes and share REAL LIFE together.

Best Wishes! "

" I've had a similar problem with my life. She refuses to work out or do anything other than watch tv or play on the computer when she is not working. I 'm amazed she makes it to work at all.
She is also a big fan of big brother and similar shows and tries to talk to me about them all the time. "

" It can really get annoying when all they can share with you about their day is what they saw on big brother espically when I could care less. I just wish she would find something productive to do "

" but big brother is productive to her. maybe you could respect her choices and see it as a hobby of hers. if you really dont care for her then I can understand but otherwise what was it that made you marry her in the first place and re-kindle it. big brother is a big deal to a lot of people "

" i love big brother and i'm a beeper. i am lucky to have a boyfriend who also loves the show.

maybe what will work for you is to tell your honey that you will watch bb with her if she does something you want to do with you?

my bf is always there for me pushing me to do positive things with my life and i really appreciate him for it. but i like to be pushed. find out what kind of barter you can make with your girl and start from there. "
