How Much Time Should You Give Your Significant Other Before You Watch A Show Without Them?
Not to brag or anything but somebody likes me enough that they have agreed to marry me. As everybody knows, watching shows together always plays a crucial role in any relationship. For the lady and I, Peaky Blinders is one of those shows. So the good news, as I’m sure you’re all well aware of by now, is that the new season is coming out on Netflix tomorrow. The bad news is that we’re on pretty different schedules so who the hell knows when we’ll both get around to being able to watch it together.
Which brings me to ask a very important question in life–how much time should you give your significant other before you watch a show without them?
You don’t want to wait around forever and miss the initial buzz of everybody talking about the show. But you also don’t want to watch it without them right away and have to deal with that impending shit storm. Especially because you know that as soon as you sneakily watch it behind their back, they’ll magically be ready to throw it on. I just think that we, as a society, could save ourselves from so many issues if we were to put an actual defined amount of time on this. It could be a day, it could be a week, it could be forever if that’s what we decide on as a society. But as of now, everybody is stuck just guessing what the proper protocol is. You might think that a few days is more than enough time but then it turns out that apparently you’re a backstabbing piece of shit if you don’t wait at least a full week. Or you wait a full week but then you get hit with the “I’ll just catch up later”, and if that was the case then you would have watched it earlier.
I don’t know if this needs to go to congress or what, but we just need one universal answer here and we need it as soon as possible. Lives depend on it. Especially with how packed tomorrow is. Peaky Blinders. Big Mouth season 3. Flyers season opener. All rolling in to El Camino next Friday? It’s a perfect storm out there, folks. Stay safe.
