It has been bothering me that everytime my husband and I turn on a movie 30 minutes into it he falls asleep. Why is this. It somes to be gettting under my skin. Does this happen to you and if so does it bother you as well?

YES!!!! We will be at my parents house watching tv or something and he will start snoring louder then the TV. Then when I wake him up he gets mad. Or I will be trying to fix dinner, set the table, get one child doing homework and another in the bath, another to stop crying, the other to get his clothes on and the dog to stop chewing on the kids toy and he will go lay down and do to sleep. And he wonders why I get so mad. I have heard of multitasking but there is only so many things I can do at a time. Or I have certain shows I watch every week after the kids are in the bed and I will be sitting there watching them and he will come and sit down too and fall asleep snoring louder then the tv then get all pissy when I tell him to go back to the bedroom or to wake up.

No, not really unless he's really tired from work or he finds the movie so boring.

Why would it bother you. At least you are watching a movie that you like. I could see if it were a movie that you didn't want to see, that he picked out. I say let them sleep, then we can focus on our movies:)

Omg yes!! This happens to me alot and it use to bother me but not anymore because my husband is in the army and he is on a schedule. He would be snoring and i would wake him up and he would say he wasn't sleep lol.
