Amy,

That's an interesting thought. Television and other distractions probably haven't helped much, but the fact that divorce has become more socially acceptable plays a role. Once women started joining the workforce in larger numbers and became more financially independent, they didn't have to stay in a marriage because they wouldn't have an income if they left. It's a complicated issue to be sure.

Can you sit with your boyfriend during football games? You don't have to follow the game closely if you're not a fan - bring a book or a magazine or work on a hobby. If you are in the room, he will count that as spending time together and may be more likely to want to do something you enjoy another time.

Has anyone noticed that the divorce rate has increased parallel with the development of television? I was thinking about this as my boyfriend spent all weekend glued to the TV watching football instead of spending quality time with me. Really made me feel unwanted, underutilized, and underappreciated. I'm sure throughout history as more scietific breakthroughs for entertainment purposes (TV, playstation, DVD, Internet) has emerged, women (like me) have felt more and more neglected. Then when we say something about it our men feel like they are being nagged. I have never heard anyone paralleling the too but I don't think it's a coincidence that with the development of TV and other entertaining devices, the divorce rate has increased also
