@joannahoward same here! I do wonder what my husband can comprehend when he watching TV. I think it is the nostalgia of his younger days.

Yes, I think so too. It's hard for me to relate because I don't feel at all nostalgic. In fact I find it irritating. I guess it's because I'm thinking a lot about things that I haven't done and I still want to. What also bothers me is that he seems to feel nostalgia about situations which I don't think are worth feeling nostalgic about. For example, this morning he pined for a dish that I have made which is not at all extraordinary and preferred it to something new that I was going to make. For some reason this bugged me!

My husband only watches movies and TV shows he has already seen, with the exception of the news and one program. I cannot tell you how many times we have watched The Green Mile and all the Jack Ryan movies. I read while we watch.
