I don't have a tv at all. Anyway I'm ok. I figured out how to stream CNN online. I'm going to focus on preparing for the bad weather now. A friend has asked me to stay with her tonight and tomorrow. I'll be ok. I told my boyfriend to give me space. He's insensitive a lot of the time and I can't count on him to be there for him when I need it the most.


If you're not happy with him, and he's not a good match for you, why are you still with him?

I had an insensitive long distance boyfriend. Now I have a local husband who is perfect and so good to me. Looking back I can't believe what I put up with.


Where did you find a man who wasn't insensitive? Or did you train him to be that way?

Ask him to create a profile for you on the cable account with your own password or ask if he'd be open to changing the pw to one he'd be willing to share with you. I'd put money on this being an issue because this is the password he uses for a bunch of things.


That is what I think.

It is probably the password for his email and social media.

Are you in your late teens OP? This is a parenting board through older adult and I think you are being immature and silly.

This is what struck me about the entire situation. He's not going to change. Good for you for distancing yourself a bit.

Agree with a pp - change your passwords on the accounts to which he has access.

I was thinking that too.


I just don't care anymore. Whats the big deal about letting me use his tv app? He used my Netflix and hulu accounts for years. I have been with this guy for 3 years.


If you've been with him for three years, surely you can have a conversation with him to understand why he was opposed to giving you the password. If, after three years, you don't feel comfortable asking him that question or you can't get a real answer out of him, that's a sign of bigger issues in your relationship than your password.

You don't have to justify or explain yourself to DCUM trolls, OP.


Pointing out the obvious is trolling now?


Name calling and being a douche is trolling, yes. Just pointing out the obvious.

I don't though. I live in university housing. They don't give us cable passwords to have access through apps or tablets. I've tried to get it! I only have another month until I move back to dc.
