Nothing will let the air out of the balloon quicker than hearing the theme song to sitcom Three’s Company playing while laying in bed with your lady.

Are you kidding me? Is someone playing a practical joke on me right now? With my forearm now across my eyes and the mood blown to smithereens the only thing I’m thinking is why did I ever put this tv in this room.

Even Jack Tripper felt my pain and leaned through the screen and said sorry dude. There are only a couple of things that really get under my skin when it comes to being in a relationship. One of those things at the very top of the list is a woman who insists on having a tv in the bedroom.

In my single days I never had a tv in my bedroom. I never had the urge to put on the game, pop some popcorn and hop in the bed to watch it. Once I got sleepy and tired of watching tv in the living room I got up and moseyed to the bedroom to go to sleep.

Once you’re in a relationship with tv sally it’s a different story. Watching tv in bed is a comfort zone for some women. I don’t agree with it but I understand it. One thing I don’t understand though is why do you need to finish all 7 of those Netflix episodes in the bedroom tonight?

I’m a medium light sleeper who needs the room completely dark and quiet when I go to sleep. I’m sure there are millions of other men out there who are the same way. There is no way I can go to sleep with that 50 inch flash light shining through my eye lids.

So What Should You Do?

For all the fellas reading this who are married or living with your lady it’s probably too late. There is already a Samsung remote on the night stand on your lady side of the bed. The steps I’m going to share are for the single guys out there who still have veto power in their home.

If you follow the below steps it will prevent the motion in the ocean from turning into a lazy river once you and your lady start living together.

Step 1: Never put a tv in your bedroom: Don’t be an enabler! If she doesn’t see it she won’t have a craving for it.

Step 2: If you do have one in the room make sure it’s 19 inches or smaller: The smaller the tv the less likely she will want to watch it.

Step 3: Only have basic cable on that tv: The only channels that should be available are the 8 or 9 that the antenna connected picks up. If you connect that tv with a cable service or satellite it’s a wrap. You’ll be writing part 2 on this same topic shortly.

Ladies the magic can happen anywhere so I won’t say the bedroom is only for that. A bedroom in my opinion though should be a place where it’s about us. That show or movie on the tv will always be available. What won’t be available are the hours of cardio or sleep lost due to you watching that tv. Cut it off now!
