when she's busy watchin her series in d parlour, i suggest u get busy wit some pornn movies in ur room and self-service d night away. Trust me if u do this for a month u wont be needin her company anymore cos she no longer would be appealin, n i trust u're sexx starved. Try n c if she wont come back beggin except ofcourse someone else is doing ur job 4 u

talk 2 her. let her kno how u feel.
and try and reach a compromise. she watch 4 2day n stay away d nex day, while u watch urs.
dont turn it into a battle.
sort it out amicably.

Carry Ur T.V go sell. . . Or destroy am!

Those are danger signs.Did she forget she is a married woman with added responsibilities and that it takes sacrifice for marriage to work?
How can a grown woman behave like a teenager in the house really.just thinking what if you had kids? Who will get down to housework and who will watch tv? You know what? she really needs to GROW UP and start acting married.
If you sell that box? with her immature attitude? she will camp at the neighbour's to watch.
Suppose you ignore her for a while. Carry work at home and act too busy to care about her.Treat her like she doesnt exist AT ALL.
Then watch her reaction.If she says a word, let her know that is exactly how you feel everytime she ignores you.
Damn whatever works try.

I believe strongly that this recommendation will work. Only bear in mind that u should not allow issues to deteriorate too much before she corrects herself. Give her less attention and she 'd realize how it hurts.

TV the ambition killer

@OP. I get things from both your views, I'm a series addict myself.she ignores other things cos someone may interrupt her at dat important moment, and she may not understand the rest of the episode. I'll suggest u get a PVR decoder or if u can't afford it, buy her the DVD of her favourite series. Then she knows she can watch it anytime,even rewind or fastforward.sit her down and talk 2 her let her watch her series weekend nights after she has done all her wifely duties. Dat shud solve d problem

What show exactly does she ignore you for?

if you have a good internet connection, just download the series or buy em on the road

esp since dstv tv shows are always out of date

The more ucomplain about this, the more she will stick to it. Find something else doing at that time, probably something that will make her jealous.

Eg put ur laptop by her side and start chatting with facbook babes, making sure you are laughing out while chatting even if ur chats are not funny.  Keep doing this  and you will see the result in the long run,

Just an advice ni oooo

My own suggestion would be to ffuck her mercilessly, d only language gurls understand is a good ffuck.

Every marriage has its peculiarities. But OP, most women you ask will tell you they do same. I guess u have to get used to it and find your own thing to "indulge" in too! Many have suggested very funny things but don't do anything stupid you will regret.

This is one of the reasons why i may never get married. If you sneeze, your spouse will open a thread on nairaland probably titled "My husband has abandoned me for sneezing". WTF.

SMH
NIGERIANS!!

This is just the best idea you can start with but if she still not getting the picture after a while then am afraid you didn't marry a wife material. Neglect her for a week or two

Communication--- trying to get back at her isn't just a very good option

@op,
During our secondary school days, girls that read a lot of "mills and boom" novels are never easy to go out with. They're always fantasizing & dreamin of "knight in shining armour" where there is none.
If you allow her to watch that romance crap continuously, it'll affect her feelings for you eventually.
Naija romance and oyibo romance no be the same.
She's likely to come up with the idea that you're not loving her the way you should or not takin proper care of her.
But truth be told, you dey fall our hand. Women are the ones who complain of things like this. Either their husband is so much addicted to football or video games.
Talk to her about it and see what happens.
If i were you, i'd keep late nights like someone suggested.
When you get home, take your bath and go straight to bed. It works like a charm.

How about allowing her to watch her tv series.
Its not as if she is going out to hang out with her friends.
Haba.

You should consider keeping the TV in your bedroom.

talking with such women will never work as she will get even more hardened and think u r whining and weak, and her respect for u will slowly just die! only equal and opposite action will help you! do not beat her, just get more busy than she is and you will notice a change, ! you must move away from the current weak position u r in right now to that of a strong position where she is the one needing you! she is ur wife and u should know what works with her!

there r enuff suggestions already to consider. you said talking has not worked and so ignore people who insist that you start or keep talking as im not sure they can read well or understand what they read - talking has not worked!!

action big guy -action!

U DO NOT WISH TO PUT A STRAIN ON UR MARRIAGE BUT SHE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT SUCH, SO,
u see why i said u r operating from a position of weakness and it means u have to carry more pains than she does as that always is the case??

its a delicate situation as men r not used to begging for attention from our wives, but if it was her, she would not hesitate to beg for ur attention as u will never hold that against her as a man, but she sure will if u do beg!

good luck

It's only this guy i believe made some sense cos its true when i was smoking cigs years back my gal start smoking too and i had to stop

Ibime:

Bros, you either buy a good recorder for her to record her program and watch on weekends, or you go hang out with friends whenever she starts her foolishness. . . . soon enough, she'll be asking where you went.

bigdoo:

Not a bad idea.
@op, getting married is not a reason why she should'nt have just 2hrs to indulge in her favourite series after a hard day. You can reach a compromise by either joining her like 'omotonia' said or you get busy like some others adviced (it sure would get her attention). I think you're getting too worked up over this issue IMO and it would'nt help to complain too much either cos if she's the defiant type, it would only get worse.

u hv to leave ths thread because we are talking abt a married woman here and nt girls.
@op,selling the tv is nt gonna solve d problem. Watching d program wt her might nt suit u either. Browsing and chatting on your laptop in her presense might nt work out well. Staying late at a beer parlour wld hv bn the best bt it may affect u later coz u may hook up wt some LovePeddler and your marriage wl be affected.
I think u shuld gv her time to finish this series since she has gone far wt it bt neva allow her to start watching the nxt series that wl start after. Gud luck

Op! The best thing to do,is to start bringing your work home.With time,it will become a habit.Stop giving her much attention nd see how she responds.

You cheap bastar'd, no be your mate dey buy PVR decoder for their house?!

Your wife dey watch series you come out here dey shout like Ashawo wey dem Bleep on credit!!

Go and buy her a PVR decoder so she can simply record all the series she wants to watch and watch them at her leisure instead of punishing her to sit and watch series foe hours or miss her shows entirely. Plus if you were so fantastic in bed, you would be able to Bleep that series demon out of her

This is d smartest post here.
@op,men like U̶̲̥̅̊ are d reason ♈ marriage scares d hell out of me.U̶̲̥̅̊ sound like a whiner.leave d woman alone U̶̲̥̅̊ nagging husband!

beg tel me d name of series she is watching

Instead of you to sit and watch with her you are complaining and are quick to heap the blame on her. She even gives you food sef! You dont want the woman to catch a
'break? Just 2hrs in a day! After work i sit with my oga and watch tv till late, talking and catching up. Haba it's not all about you o oga

This is what happens when 2 teenagers get married. . . One doesnt know she is married. . . And the other complains to the whole world instead of sorting out their marital problems with her. . . Hmmm.

Listen, my young man, no two perfect people on earth. You mentioned that your wife is addicted to film and that has been the problem she is having that wants to wreck your home.
Try to discover other areas of her that will draw her nearer to you. Are you good in bed that will ginger her to be closer to you for a good massaging and good luv making to make her want to jump into bed with you. By the time you give her good work all over her body, she will not watch firm again. Get yourself a bucket of ice-cream with lots of good love tune and pure the ice-cream all over her and give her a good lick and she will groan and want you all over her. She will scream her life off and will have a good sleep. The film will be a thing of the past.

You married this lady and must have known most of her weakness on this issue. You cannot say that she developed this attitude over night. If you discover your woman, you will love and cherish her. Women are good if you know how to follow them. The issue here is that you are just starting life and must learn to understand each other. Thank God is only film she is addicted to. Some women

@poster, hey yaa , The t.v. seems to be her only stress outlet, you just need to distract her and try to get her involved in other interesting things which would help her ease the stress of work. You can try family talks, indoor games or even light exercises. You need to be romantic, persistent and supportive. She needs to know you care for her and still find her sexy . This might take awhile but things should pan out right if patient. Good luck

The thing tire me o but I do hope the guy can reason with the comments made so far.How can a married woman be addicted to tv ? Even if she has no kids,why cant she give attention to the husband ?
@OP
when next your wife watches that series,just light one cigar and smoke your brain out.

@okija juju . if u dön't have any beta thing to say why don't shut the Bleep up and go back to ur bush ,OP said his wife is addicted to Stv series not Dstv .And the fact that he doesn't have a PVR decoder doesn't mean he is cheap .Ur post shows how materialistic u are .GROW UP MAN !!!

u hv to leave ths thread because we are talking abt a married woman here and nt girls.

Ewww! dats sum disgusting shytte u've gat on your profile! anywayz, lolz, yep i said gurl cuz it seems like d lady still gat dat teenage spirit in her dat makes her behaviour immaturish. So u see your d one who's butt shld b leaving d thread, lol,  For me, 'action' speaks louder dan words. Ive seen sum pple giv crazy suggestions like ignore her, sell d tv, blah blah.
