Premium Account Free I Hate Having Sex With My Husband
So, I've Got This Premium Account, Right?
Alright, picture this: You've just upgraded to a premium account on your favorite streaming service. Life's looking good, you're thinking, "I've made it!" Suddenly, you realize, "Wait, does this mean I have to watch everything with my husband now?"
Now, don't get me wrong, I love the guy. He's great, he's my best friend, but sometimes, I just want to binge-watch RuPaul's Drag Race without him asking, "Why are they wearing so much makeup?"
When Netflix and Chill Becomes Netflix and... Not
Remember when Netflix and chill meant watching a movie and maybe, just maybe, something more? Now, it's more like Netflix and "Can you pass the remote? No, not that one, the other one. No, the other other one!"
Must Read
I mean, who knew that having a premium account would turn my husband into a remote control octopus? I swear, he's got more arms than a Hindu god just to keep up with his channel-surfing antics.
When "Netflix and Chill" Becomes "Netflix and... Sleep?"
And don't even get me started on the sleep situation. I used to love a good movie marathon. Now, it's like trying to watch a film with a human pocket watch. As soon as the opening credits roll, he's out like a light.

I've tried everything - turning on the subtitles to make it seem like I'm learning something, playing the theme song from Game of Thrones to keep him on the edge of his seat, but no dice. I might as well be watching paint dry.
The Struggle is Real
But it's not all doom and gloom. I've found some ways to cope. For instance, I've started scheduling my premium account time like I would a root canal. I clear my calendar, set an out-of-office reply, and tell him I'm going to a "spa day".

And you know what? It works. He's none the wiser, and I get to watch Bridgerton in peace. It's a win-win. Well, except for the part where I have to explain why I suddenly need a "spa day" every other week.
Surprising Facts: The Husband Edition
Did you know that men are more likely to fall asleep during a movie if it's in black and white? True story. I read it on BuzzFeed. Also, they're more likely to stay awake if there's an explosion every five minutes. Who knew?

And here's another shocker - men are more likely to remember the ending of a movie than the middle part. So, if you're trying to convince him that you've already seen the movie, just remember the ending. It's like the movie version of a final exam.
In Conclusion: Premium Account, Worth It
So, is having a premium account worth it? Absolutely. Just remember to schedule your "me time", learn a few movie facts to keep him on his toes, and maybe, just maybe, you'll get to enjoy your newfound streaming glory.
And who knows? Maybe one day, he'll finally understand the joy of watching a movie without asking, "Why is she wearing a corset? Isn't that uncomfortable?" Until then, I'll be over here, scheduling my spa days and binge-watching my heart out.
