She wants intimacy with me, to know about my life, my interests, my desires, dreams. But if she's glued to a TV or totally shut down, it's tough to start talking about those things. And if it's one of her favorite shows, she gets really upset if it's interrupted.

She told me while making dinner about all her plans for the night, mostly revolving around which shows she wanted to watch and when. She also told me when she would be using her computer, etc. so that we wouldn't have another night where she was glued to the iPad etc. Nice of her to try at least, but I'm married to a TV zombie.

Not to be crass, but when I was in my twenties, if someone I knew acted like she does, I'd tell her she needs to get laid.
