Short term is defined as not exceeding Saturday to Friday in any given week. When watching a tournament on TV, hugging is fine because your shortcakes can still see the screen. Kissing, however, should only be attempted during commercials. Questions should also be limited to this brief period. When your loved one is watching your TV show and he changes the channels during a commercial do not hassle him by exclaiming testily that, The commercials are over.
All men know instinctively when the timing is right to change back a channel.
Respect your loved ones instincts, please. Also, when he is channel surfing with the flicker in one hand and a putter in the other do not ask him to go back. There was a very good reason why he skipped the channel in a decided blur. Part of the many reasons why you love him is because he has mysterious qualities. Respect the mystery.
