We do that but sit next to each other and you know, talk
Why talk when you both are already looking at your phones?
I mean, why waste the limited time I have a day with my SO by scrolling together through an endless list of movies and shows. Both of us have the attention span of a beagle, so sporadically swiping through a list during the workday would actually be preferable.
For me it wouldn't be about avoiding conflict, just a way to remember something that I would otherwise forget as soon as we started looking for something to watch.
I really try to make my relationship such that I would never have to directly interact with my partner, but there's still some work to be done 😔
I suggest a zoom call with your partner to sort it out (cameras off, of course)
See, my wife and I will go back and forth, checking various streaming services and vetoing each other's picks for the full duration of movie night.
Now when she asks what I want to watch, my first reply is always, "Literally anything except the Netflix menu."
What the actual fuck?
Where is my pitchfork?
