MTV Addivted

[jr_sci]

My girlfriend is MTV addicted. She neither watch any other channels nor does allow me to watch anything. Kindly help me to remove this addiction from her.

buy her an MP3 or Mp4 player , this would help she can watch all videoclips and listen to any music she likes on the players , I catalog Tv addiction, just a bad habit , a stupid addiction. Make her a present and see the results.

Why is that the only things she watches. Sounds to me like she really needs to get some other interests. Is she cleaning the house or anything else or just watching this. I understand that music can be an addiction but at some point after seeing the same videos over and over, she has got to be able to turn it. But a parental block on that channel and see what happens.

Putting a parental block on the tv does not sound like a very good idea, I think she will take this as very patronising and it will cause arguments. I'm assuming you live with your girlfriend? Sit her down and explain how selfish you feel she is being by not allowing you to watch what you want too. Tell her that you want to spend time with her, but that you have to agree on a limit to the amount of time she can have her own way when it comes to the tv.

I would cut the plug off the television.

I don't think that she is addicted in the true sense of the word just lacking inspiration. Get in there, get the remote and educate her in as to what else is out there.

I am not sure that telling someone they are selfish is the answer either. Even if two people live together I find that it is not anymore selfish for one person to say I want to watch TV then the other person who watches the same program all the time. As far as I can see her argument would be you are being selfish as well.

I think you need to find other things for the both of you to do for a while.

[laurah]

No, I'm sorry, but if one person will not let the other ever watch what they want then they are being selfish. Relationships are about compromise, so if there is something on you want to watch, you should be allowed to as much as she is.

[attagirl]

But this thread is about addiction to that one program. Not about compromise in relationship and whether or not someone is being selfish. If you see that the other person is behaving in an addictive manner and your only concern is that she is watching to much MTV then you are being selfish with wanting to watch what you want and not taking action to get her some help.

[mambios]

Is she really addicted to it though? I mean in the true sense of the word, or has it become an issue because they have made it into one.

I really think this is about compromise and not someone who is addicted to something.

Maybe the original poster would care to elaborate on this?

[attagirl]

Very good point there Mambios. Is it really an addiction or is that the only thing she enjoys watching and it has become a problem because he cannot watch what he wants to.

[fever]

It is not a very serious problem, their are many ways to keep him away and the first is to change the mood by taking her for shopping, watching a movie etc

[Rohitpatel]

Well I think she is enjoys watching MTV rather than addiction. But you can sure stop her by taking her outside your home and if I have a such a problems than I would cut the plug off the television. It's a good solution.

I think an ipod is a best idea. It seems that you love and care about her a lot. So Spend 4000 bucks and get a good Ipod.
