Sorta OT: My poor husband

Icegoddess — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:50:48 GMT

I don't often watch the shopping channels especially when my husband is in the room. Usually, I just check them during the commercials. However, tonight I turned it on to HSN while I cooked dinner because nothing else was on. When my husband came home, since nothing else was on, I just left it on. It was on some sort of beauty product. Then, the TSV came on, which was a Lancome kit. 45 minutes into a presentation about an eyeshadow palette, lipstick, mascara, and Genifique, his eyes are glazing over. I'm sure he now knows more about applying eye makeup than he ever wanted to know.

You should leave on QVC during a Breezies presentation-he might be more interested-mine sure is!

Anything slightly sexy he says ""You should get that."" It doesn't matter that it won't look anything like that on me.

My husband just looks on in puzzlement, though I've got him trained to know when ITKWD is on - he'll hum the theme song to remind me.

Too bad his arms don't work and he couldn't change the channel.

Cute and sweet post, OP. Sounds like you are both considerate of each other. You hardly ever subject your dh to shopping channels, and so when you do, he zones out instead of hollering or reaching for the remote.

I usually always have QVC on in the kitchen and my poor boyfriend gets stuck watching it especially if it's jewelry, beauty products or clothing. Eventually he'll ask if it's okay if he changes the channel. I then look on my computer to see what's been aired. If I can sit and look at guitars with him then he pays back the favor by watching QVC. He actually was an avid watcher years ago.

I usually just surf by when my husband is home watching tv with me. It is so funny that lately he will make remarks about how unattractive some fashions are or how silly the hosts and models look dancing around.

This is sweet. It means in his eyes, he still finds you lovely. Even if you don't think you'd look nice in something, he does and that's wonderful.

I have control over the remote and he was across the room. I actually wouldn't have had a problem with him changing it. I wasn't interested anyway. They spent way too much time on that one product.

LOL! At least he lasted 45 minutes until he started glazing. Too funny! He sounds like a nice, considerate husband.

I usually watch the shopping channels on my computer and usually it's beauty related. However when Dimitri from Skinn is on, I put it on the tv. So anytime my husband catches it, he'll say oh, your boyfriends on the air. LOL! Once a month, like clockwork.

He ain't seen nuthin' yet until he's seen Poo-Pouri on air, especially when a certain host who uses childish verbiage is on.

Your husband sounds like a sweet guy.

The only "celebrity" my husband ever comments on me watching is Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes. If you aren't familiar with him, he goes in and fixes problems that other contractors have made in people's homes. My husband complains that all he does is put down other people's work. I tell him that the people wouldn't have called him in if the guy had done a good job and then there wouldn't be a show.

I just think he is jealous and feels inadequate because he isn't handy in that way. I'm just jealous that I am not more handy.

I thought you were going to say that he placed an order for something...lol Which my husband has done on occasion. He called them ""your shopping channels"" and he'd just rolls his eyes. And then...late one night...he discovered Invicta watches on Snbc and there was no holding him back....lol

My DH knows more about Dimitri and Adrienne then he 'd like to know!!! But he humors me and he actually finds them both pretty outrageous, in small doses!!!

Don't these ""poor"" men read?! Even my daughter will open a book if I'm watching something she's not interested in.
