I have that down to a science. Wife starts watching one of the cookie-cutter crap movies. Wants me in there to "spend time with her". I sit down in my recliner and proceed to bitch about every thing in the movie that was in every other Hallmark movie she wanted me to watch. I also tell her the plot and what will happen next - because they are all the same. She lasts maybe 15 minutes, gets mad, and goes to bed. TV goes off - no more crappy movie.

I don't get it - I work, she doesn't. She can watch that crap all day long if she wants to. I'm in my office with the door closed - not bothering her. My office has its own bathroom, kitchen, and tv (with OAN on for background noise and in case the aliens invade or something). There ought to be a law for this.

In fact, guys should band together and file class-action lawsuits against Hallmark, WE, E!, and all of the reality shows like Survivor, The batchelor/ette, The farmer wife crap, and all the rest. Sue for Mental Anguish or Emotional Distress. It could work.
