Men who want to stay in and watch TV all day

 
Her taste in music was really starting to get to him - Men who want to stay in and watch TV all day
Her taste in music was really starting to get to him

It's Saturday, the sun's shining, you've just been paid and it's the last day of the sales tomorrow. You want to go and do some clothes shopping, decorate the living room, have a meal at that new restaurant in town and go watch a flick with friends. At 10 o'clock, you're ready for off, but he's not quite so keen. He's in A position, on the sofa, in front of the telly ("Not right now, the film's just started") or playing games on the net. 

> How not to react
Sometimes we women don't understand that "not right now" actually means "in your dreams, sweetheart: I'm not going anywhere". So you wait... and wait...and when it gets to midday you blow your top with him. This isn't the first time he's done this and you've no intention of spending the entire weekend stuck indoors in front of the TV, thank you very much.

See the consequences
