Major douchebaggery. If you're with someone, you should watch whatever they watch, or make excuses to leave the room.
I should know, I had to watch all those damn soap operas whenever I was at my then-GF's house.
I agree that it's rude rude rude. If he really couldn't bear to invest his precious time to watch one lousy show, the least he could do would be to be doing something else that would at least allow you to talk to him and him to talk to you - reading a magazine or something. Sitting there listening to an iPod is a solitary activity. People ought to be more important than devices.
Well...
My last boyfriend and I ended up being rather on again off again... So I've got several different stories of ways people can break up. Although I don't think I'd recommend many of these... if any... anyways.
The first time we broke up, He did it through text. We were a long distance relationship so I didn't fault him too much for it, although I'd still have rather had a call. He said it was because he thought we were going different places in our lives... he thought we were going different places in our lives because he had just taken up smoking pot and I hadn't quite approved...He realized how dumb a reason that was and we got back together a week later.
After being together for quite a while after that, we became engaged. About a month after getting engaged he called off the engagement but wanted to remain boyfriends, and then a few weeks later broke up with me... over facebook chat... He said that he needed to find himself. That he didn't know where he was going in life. He told me he didn't want to call because it would have been harder, and he knew I'd cry and if I cried then he'd cry and he doesn't like people to hear/see him cry... We got back together 2 months later, and we got re-engaged a little while after that.
The last time he broke up with me was in January. I had gone to see him from the middle of the last week of December till the middle of the first week of January. It seemed like we had a good time to me, but then January 19th hits, and I find that he had blocked me on AIM, deleted me from his friends on facebook and myspace, and deleted everyone he knew through me as well... He wouldn't even answer any of my texts or phone calls. He eventually started talking to me again and said that he had just panicked because he had been questioning "us" and instead of bringing it up with me to see what we could do about it, he panicked and just cut me out. No going back that time. He's moved on, and I remain single.
One of the times I've broken up with another guy earlier on because it just wasn't working out between us. I just explained to him, in person, that I just didn't feel like he and I clicked the way we should if we were suppose to be a couple. I told him how I felt, and he took it well and we just parted ways.
How... dramatic
Hey! I like Universe!
Yeah. I'm not usually one to have any really drama-filled situation... except when it came to him.
Yeeeaaaah. I agree.
Anyways, yeah, it's not that hard to sit through one show for your boyfriend/girlfriend. Not to mention, if it's something they like, it shows you have some respect for their interests and want to get to know more about the things they like, and even try to share in it.
Wow that's quite an experience.
Well, we haven't seen or talked to each other in over a month. So maybe I don't need to break up with him at all.
Closure is irrelevant.
Also, BBS faggots, I think we should start our own group:
The Q (for Queer) Continuum.
Brilliant, no?

I'd join.
I would consider it a courtesy. I'm sure there are some shows i like that he wouldn't.
I'm down.
For it.
^ Sounds good! I am in. 
You jut have to promise me that Shameless will keep his hands to himself though.

My wife will watch the occasional episode of Stargate with me, and I reciprocate by watching L&O:SVU with her from time to time.
If one of us isn't interested in watching what the other one is, we'll just excuse ourself and go do something in another room or go walk the dog or whatever.
You strike a balance between watching what you want and spending time with your other half.
^ Sounds good! I am in.
I promise nothing.
Are you willing to take that risk?
^ No. 
I don't like people touching me without my permission. I consider it a violation that warrants extreme force if necessary. That is why I am not allowed in several bars anymore.

Fine i'll behave around you. Now where's everyone else?

I'd keep my eye out for Tom as well. He seems like a bit of a minx.

I'm a filthy beast with Russian hands and Roman fingers.
