I think the underlying message that came up from those who understand how OP feels is that she was right to bring the issue up in a tone that implied that he was wrong for doing it.
I think that's where the issue is with most posters who don't see !!!!!! as a problem, but maybe that's not what was intended and maybe we are all agreeing that whether OP has an issue with !!!!!! or not, she has no right to expect him to stop just to please her?
But nobody has said he was wrong have they?
What some of us have said is that it would be wrong for our relationship and would impact on that relationship. But then we have chosen partners who are of a like mind to us which some posters do not want to accept.
It is obviously a problem for the OP or she would not be posting in the first place.
If she can accept this in her relationship then all well and good(,he may even be able persuade her to join in, who knows!) if not in all likelihood it will eat away at their relationship.0 -
Fair enough Fbaby.
^^^ I am just saying that a few people are coming across as rude; implying that women who believe their husband doesn't watch !!!!!! are naive and gullible and stupid, whilst suggesting he 'obviously' does.
I really do not see much relevance in husbands being divided by criteria of watching and not watching !!!!!!. I wonder why did you feel it relevant to write that your husband watches noneThe word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.0 -

Sounds like reading vs watching TV. Most rather pick the latter, maybe less demanding?0

You mean 50 shades ?:D
I wonder how many disapproving statements from their men received women who read it (I think all are aware the vast majority of readers of that book were female):pThe word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise.

My wife bought the full set off ebay from a local woman. Only one had been read.
She wasn't that impressed and didn't even finish the first one.0 -
Never read it.
Apparently it's a silly saga about a woman who goes from pure innocent virgin to S&M fetishist faster than Usain Bolt off the blocks.
There was a film of it made, too0 -

Most certainly not!
The Harry Potter books would get me more excited than that load of rubbish.0 -
Why you feel need to pass derogatory remarks on whatever is not for you? Although I bet you have not read it. Anyway , one does not have to be one trick pony (shades versus harry potter, although ideal age for harry potter is probably 11 so I am a bit surprised at your preferences)The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise.
