My BF likes to watch TV every night with beer. I don't mind sometimes but I get bored of it. I was never a TV person before we moved in together. Sometimes I like to do my own things like draw on my tablet. Other times I'll just sit and zone out as I'm usually tired and have to be up early for work the next day. We don't watch like, super intricate movies where you have to pay attention. Usually just dumb comedy series or stand-ups (some that we've seen multiple times.)
He sometimes makes comments like if I go on my phone at all when it's 'tv time' he will say "are you watching?" Or "shall I pause it?" And I say no it's okay, he will say "oh okay you're bored I'll put something else on." I've said I'm not bored I just wana play on my phone or draw on my tablet or something. I work hard and should be able to do what I like in evenings like he does. He says okay but then does the same thing the next time.
Last night we were watching a stand-up that we've seen twice before I was getting ready to go to bed and sorting out my folder for work. He said "Shall I pause it?" I said no I'm just sorting out my folder. He replied "Oh so you're finding this so boring you'd rather do that?"
I keep telling him I'm not a TV person I just like it to relax. But he seems to take TV so seriously. We do loads of other things together. We go on walks, have Sunday trips out, we cook together, play video games etc. But regardless of what we've done that day, every night before bed something like this happens.
Any ideas on why he makes these comments and what I should do about them?
TL:Dr: BF seems offended if I don't enjoy watching TV every evening.
