My frustration, for example. H offers to rent a movie. I say sure, if he stays awake and we can share the experience (as in comment, discuss, laugh, etc.) He says he'll try, but that he's tired and will probably fall asleep (and snore,) but wants to do it anyway. Or more likely, promises to stay awake this time but falls asleep anyway. I say I'll give it until he falls asleep, and then I'm taking the movie to another room. Not acceptable to him.
Confession time... when he falls asleep, I wake him up, repeatedly, scares the crap out of him. I figure I'll annoy him as much as his snoring during the movie annoys me. Plus, there's always the slim chance he'll actually keep his promise and wake up and watch the movie.
Even with this format, he still wants to do it. What am I missing? I'm certainly not enjoying it, so I need to understand what he gets out of it -- in his sleep -- that is so worthwhile? He either can't or won't tell me.
