Over the years G and I have established a routine around watching TV. As we’ve often been working or playing on computers we concentrated our joint watching around mealtimes where we would sit together and share the latest drama or blockbuster movie. Anything that wasn’t a joint interest we watched separately.
Lately G’s concentration and cognitive abilities have declined and he’s not able to follow complicated plot lines and he’s really not interested in watching anything apart from Grand Designs and maybe the odd episode of Friends. I’ve put off watching anything that we previously would have watched together but this week another line was crossed and I started watching the final series of Happy Valley. On my own. Although watching TV ultimately, is unimportant, it feels like another wedge pushing us apart.
