Hi Rhapsody,

My husband and I get into arguments over the remote control also.

In my case, I believe I either have unrealistic expectations as far as he is concerned, or he doesn't meet my expectations, when it comes to sensitivity to my TV viewing needs.

In my house, my husband hogs the remote control. He also leaves the room a lot for various and sundry reasons, and doesn't hand me the remote when he leaves. This leaves me unable to reach it, unless I get up, which is getting harder and harder, with foot pain, etc.

Then when he is in the room, he doesn't react very quickly to mute the annoying commercials, which also seem to be at a higher volume than the rest of the programming.

I feel so much better now that I have vented about this stupid issue.

BTW, I also got triggered by something I saw on TV last week. In this case, my husband was not responsible.

Remember, Rhapsody, you're the best.

Hugs,

EJ
