This is the third part of the series giving advice on living with a woman. Be sure to check out the first two parts called: Rules of Engagement and Moving in With Your Girl? What to Expect. Now for the third and final part: Television Shows You Can Watch with Your Girl.

One challenging aspect of living with a woman is agreeing on a television show to watch. Most free nights I have involve my fiancé and I sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels. I want to watch the ball game, she wants to watch Project Runway.

Despite the downturn, I recently achieved the dream of bloggers everywhere and moved out of my mom’s basement, only to be slapped in the face by the hard hand of reality. Paying bills blows. All of a sudden I’m forced to spend my hard-earned money towards groceries, electric bills and other boring crap. As my fiancé will attest to, I was already cheap before I moved out.

You may have heard that new episodes of the hit show Man vs Wild are airing on the Discovery Channel (Wednesdays at 9:00 pm). In the latest episode, airing this Wednesday, Bear Grylls travels to Vietnam.
