My BF loves Downtown Abbey, The Rooster, Shrinking, Madame Blanc (cozy stuff)

I love Slow Horses, Patriot, Arrested Development, Shetland, Brassic

We have a hard time finding something new that’s not too slow to build

We’ve seen

Vera
Dept Q ….

A host of British detective shows so he thinks they are now formulaic ….

Also saw;
Gilded Age
Other Bennett Sister
Rivals
Shrill

So our meeting of tastes seems to be things like White Lotus. Suspense, great cinematography, quick binge worthy energy 🧐😐🧐

My BF (59M) and I (59F) had a big argument.

We live with my two kids age 16 and 18 (in college) and his daughter age 30.

Large house and his daughter lives downstairs with her two kids age 7 & 3. She has only one king size bed that she shares with kids by choice.

She likes to go out a lot of leave and stay at her boyfriends sometimes she takes the three year old but typically leaves the 7 year old behind because he wets the bed and she doesn’t want him embarrassed in front of her boyfriends 8 year old. He does not have his own bed.

So she will tell her dad that her son or sons really want to sleep with us. He never says no despite also having two large dogs that sleep in bed.

These things happen with no warning usually at 9 or 10 pm.

This Friday night both slept in our bed. I slept on couch. Saturday at 10pm the 7 year old runs in and says he’s sleeping with us. I said I guess I’ll sleep on the couch again.

My BF said do you have an issue with that and I said I don’t really like sleeping on a couch ever night and left the room.

He’s said he loves that his grandkids want to sleep with him and he doesn’t care if it’s every night and if I dare have an attitude about his grandkids again it will be unacceptable and said I was way out of line.

I heard their mom say do you want to go to bed and go to sleep right now 8pm or do you want to stay up late with grandpa?

It’s working great for her. I’m getting zero intimacy
