Just read your update. Nothing like having your world turned upside down to offer you some new perspective, right? As for the "too busy for tv" thing, well I've been guilty of saying things like that to act holier than thou. Looking back, it is embarrassing. I consider it an objection and not a condition.
As for your H not taking charge, I can see how that would disappointing. You just want him to come up with something fun and not say he'll "do whatever". You want him to give it some thought and effort, right? Well, all I can say is to be sure you communicate what you actually want (occassionally anyways). My W doesn't like to say what she actually wants, she just wants it to happen. I can understand that too, it's just that every once in a while it doesn't hurt to mention and make sure us dudes are having an awareness about this stuff.
That "do-whatever" mentality is what caused me to take 45 minutes to pick a movie. My wife hates that too. Just think of this way: one time my W and I drove around for an hour and half because I couldn't decide where I wanted to eat. You don't have it that bad do you? My W always says "this isn't your last meal", to which I respond "you don't know that!".
What tv shows are you watching? I've been watching a lot of 90 Day Fiance and Married At First Sight. They are my cheap entertainment. I am waiting for my next "deep" show to come out. I don't know what it is yet so I'll probably go rewatch the Sopranos or something in the meantime.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
