Creative incompetence works pretty well, too. Mrs WBill wanted me to record some dumb reality TV show "So that we could enjoy it together". I'd rather go to the dentist, than sit through that drivel. And besides, she'll watch whether I'm there with her, or not.

So one week I set everything up for the wrong time, another week I set it to the wrong channel, forgot to turn something on another week, and so on. "Oops, my bad. I'm sorry, we'll just get it again next time....". Eventually, I didn't hear any more about it. :-)

That’s called being passive-aggressive, and it can kill a relationship.

It’s much better to just be honest and tell her that you’re not interested in such drivel, without being a jerk about it.

If she’s the type to get upset with your honesty then she has a problem too, one that can also kill a relationship.
