[quote=Anonymous]My spouse was out of town this past week, and it reminded me how much I prefer the TV off.

When it is just me at home, I prefer the TV off, or just to turn it on to enjoy a specifc TV show (or shows) every so often.

But, my spouse wants the TV on constantly and flips between shows, sports, etc.  The TV is literally on from the time he's home from work, until both of us fall asleep.  It is on during dinner.  It is on at all times when he's home on the weekend.

We don't have kids yet and the TV issue is something we've discussed, as the constant TV is really bad for babies under age 2, especially.

FWIW, I grew up in a household with very little TV and no cable -we read books.  His parents had TV on constantly, and he had a TV in his bedroom.  We both turned out well by most accounts.

What to do?  I would feel really sad to say that once we have kids, he just has to go watch TV alone in a man cave.  But, he isn't keen to budge on the amount of TV.  Has anyone else experienced this?  We aren't looking to have a baby immediately, but its such a big issue I feel like it needs to be sorted out before the baby is actually here.
