Love, Star Wars, Movies and Hobbies: The Force is weak with this one

The Force is weak with this one

By fuck Star Wars - 14/09/2020 10:02

Today, I sat through 9 gruelling hours of Star Wars with my boyfriend. I hate those movies with a passion and frankly would rather get a pap smear from Wolverine than watch them. Afterwards, he dumped me for yawning, saying that I didn’t take a “serious” interest in his favorite things. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I binged Star Wars. Now he keeps talking about how the Empire is superior to the Republic, digging up Reddit threads / YouTube videos / expressing his own political ideas to convince me of this. I just wanted to watch the movies. FML

In a galaxy far, far away

Today, my boyfriend and I got into a massive argument. I suggested we have a movie night. He suggested an all day/night Star Wars marathon. I’d be OK, if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve done that at least five times in the last two months. He says I’m the one being unfair. FML

Today, I went to see Star Wars with my brother. The entire time he talked about how scientifically inaccurate and improbable the entire movie was. FML

Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to see the new Avatar movie I’ve waited over 10 years to see. After it was over, she just said, "That was utter shite, why did you bring me here?" Entire experience ruined. FML

Today, my boyfriend of two years said he would finally take me somewhere romantic. I spent my day at a Star Wars convention. FML

Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend and asked if he wanted to come watch a movie. He seemed eager, until I said I needed the company because my period had started. He then went dead silent, waited a few seconds before starting to fake-snore, then hung up on me. FML

Movie night

By nah - 11/06/2021 11:01

Today, my boyfriend finally convinced me to watch Harry Potter for the first time. I was bored out of my mind the entire time, and by about an hour in, all I could think about was how badly I wanted to punch Hermione for being a rude little know it all. FML

The horror!

By duped - 29/10/2011 11:32 - United Kingdom

Today, my boyfriend confessed that he hates horror films. Our relationship was born out of our 'love' for horror films. I have endured 3 years of watching films that absolutely terrify me only to find out he doesn't like them either. FML

Did you communicate to him you hate them? seems you're better off without him if its that critical to him. I'm a Huge star wars fan and agree you should have some likes and passions in common but it doesn't Have to be anything specific.

The fact that he has interests different than yours is not bad. But, the fact that he insists you adopt his interests is a deal-breaker. That's intolerable! His dumping of you just saved you from doing what you should have done anyways.

Maybe you should have thought of that before you started dating him, just a thought. YDI

Do you date people based on whether they like Star Wars or not?

No it’s not a deal breaker for me. Though some fans are rabid enough to make it a big deal. The OP should have figured out how into it he was before she started dating him.

Did you indicate you hate them? Why didn't you plan on doing something else while he does a SW marathon?

The wolverine animal or Hugh Jackman? Big difference.

It's not either of y'all's fault, but I do think you were incompatible. Star Wars is a very archetypical series of movies with a quasi-religious message. If you hate them and your BF loves them there's probably a deeper incompatibility of worldviews.
