The wife won't stop talking when Im watching TV. What can I do to make her stop?

smiley	ear plugs should give her a hint.LOL

Sleek	Turn off the TV, go lay your head in her lap and look up at her like a little puppy dog. Do this everytime. When the TV goes off, the stark silence will shock her. After a few times, she'll leave you alone.

HereIAm	Haven't you figured out by now? She's a woman, you can't shut her up. You could show her how annoying by doing it to her when she is in the middle of a great chick flick, but this could backfire on you because she could then think it is perfectly fine for her to keep doing it to you then. Just learn to smile and nod while you are tuning her out.

emo eyes	what is more important, a box with a moving picture on it, or your wife?

xkathiee	tell her to be quiet, that your watching tv and cant hear it. go to a different room and watch tv.

hairspray999	just to tell you you might not give her enough attention? If she keeps on talking to u she wants ur attention ok!

Amanda M	Sounds like she needs to talk. Most women do. Give her the connection she needs, and she might not be so inclined to bother you when you're watching the all-important TV.

Princess Veronica's Mom	ask her nicely

smarts mcgee	throw her out or set up a quiet time. if she talk during football....chop her tongue out lol this is a joke. just ask her to be quiet..if she loves you shell understand she has a loud mouth

rooney	Men like TV more than they like talking Women like talking more than they like TV you gotta think, which activity with have a negative impact on your life and marriage if you stopped doing it. When you stop talking to your wife, then you grow distant and she will have resentment towards you and then she will find someone else to talk to. If you miss parts of your sports game, you will feel annoyed but it will not have a life changing effect on you and your marriage. Also, try to watch things that interest the both of you, she obviously isn't interested in sports, biography of Stalin or channel 5 news. When we are watching Grey's Anatomy or House I shut the hell up because I am interested in what's on the screen.

keral	change room and watch alone

steve	say "Shut the hell up woman, I'm trying to watch TV" LOL

sweetie1121	well i am a wife and do the same thing, my hubby turns the volume up.

Blue	Shut the darn thing off and spend time with her. That TV will always be there. A woman who is neglected soon finds someone who will pay attention to her.

rvrmldnd	Talk to her when the television is off and explain her how you dislike that in a calm way. Ask her if she feels like she is not getting enough attention from you, because that seems to be the problem. Work out a compromise with her, where she and you spend quality time together away from the television. Once she got the attention she might just stop talking while you watch tv. If your wife does not stop then you need to accept that she just likes to talk for the talking. Buy her a television, put it in a different room, close the door and let her talk in front of her tv...

STEVEN	turn up the TV until you can't hear her anymore.

cirquedusoleil	Whenever she starts nagging, turn off the tv and make an excuse to go to the bathroom and when she calms down go back to your tv.

Bud's Girl	Well, maybe you watch too much tv, and she's bored shi_tless waiting for your attention.

Tim VP	Try to make time to spend with her. Sit down and talk to her and tell her that when the show is on you wanna watch. If you are always in front of the TV though you need to make time for her otherwise in the bedroom she wont make time for you. You two need to compromise.

Jasmin	Don't stop her talking. Stop watching TV. If you like watching TV so much, marry your TV set!!

juswondering	Maybe shes just trying to have a nice conversation.Turn the t.v off once in a while and pay attention tro her.

Bert T	Quit watching TV. Talk to your wife. There may come a time when she aint talking to you shes talking to someone else who WILL listen to her and talk with her. Are you one of those men who pays more attention to his dog than his wife? You know what they call men with that habit? DIVORCED AND PAYING TONS OF ALIMONY

daljack -a girl	Just say....let me watch this show or game and when it's over we can talk. Then keep your promise and turn the TV off and talk to her.

pqrama	Have your own bedroom with your own TV and just go there and lock the door.....that's what I did and we both are very happy with our own televisions.

jojo	EARPLUGS

Jilli Bean	Do what my husband did. He got DVR/Tivo, and everytime I start yapping he picks up the remote and pauses the TV. After a few time I usually get it and start to be quiet. If I choose not to be quiet at least he doesn't miss anything.

The Last Good Man	Gag her or stuff something in her mouth.

*HDK*	pay attension to her during ads
