Thank you for the idea, and I'm sorry your H criticized your pants! That is really rude and uncalled for.

H has the TV on between dinner and bedtime and on some weekends to binge-watch Netflix series, but he's annoyed that I have it on when he's not here, or when he is home and I'm watching something he doesn't want to watch. He talks about how the TV only has a certain numbers of hours before it dies. It's a total double standard and very unreasonable, IMHO, so I'm struggling to find a way to validate. It makes me feel like he's counting what it costs for me to live here, if that makes sense.
