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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my boyfriend is completely obsessed with zombie and horror movies. I don’t care what he watches, the only problem is the big wuss has horrible thrashing nightmares. Last night he thrashed so hard, he elbowed me in the face. I have a big swollen purple knot right on my forehead. FML
Today, my boyfriend said we needed to talk. He called me cruel, cold and heartless and that it’s making him reconsider what kind of future we may have together. All because I hate sappy movies and don’t cry on the scenes where the dogs die. FML
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 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 asked my boyfriend why he never seems to have his own opinion, always agrees with me, and does whatever I want. That’s when he admitted he’s scared of me and is terrified of saying or doing anything I won’t like. I have no idea what I did to scare him this badly. FML
Today, I asked a girl I like to the movies. Wanting her to lean on me and stay in my arms during the movie, I chose a horror film. I screamed like a pussy the whole time. FML
Today, my husband was planning on getting me my favorite movie as an anniversary present; I ended up buying it. He had to give me the money and leave because he is severely arachnophobic and couldn't even pick up the box. I have to hide the movie for fear of it being destroyed. Again. FML
Today, after years in a relationship I realized that my partner does not like the music I listen to, the food I cook, the pictures I take, the way I dress. The only thing she likes is when I take her out to eat. FML
Today, I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 with my boyfriend. In hopes of him putting his arm around me or holding my hand, I told him that I was very scared and pretended to cry a little. He told me to be quiet because I was ruining the movie for him. Then he moved seats. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should've been honest with each other from the beginning.

& this is why you don't start any kind of relationship with lies... just be honest! If they're worth it, they like you for you & not just your interests.

That's a story for the kids..."now when you see someone you're attracted to, don't be afraid to lie about you're interests, you never know where it could take you"

It took three years for the truth to come out?

That sucks. -.-

But now they both must love each other if put up with movies that they hate for three years just to be together.

Well, now you can bond over your hate of horror films

At least you guys have something in common, you lie to one another in order to impress them..

To know people lie like this to get someone to like them is horrifying...

At least your real relationship starts now. Some people gotta lie throughout their lifetime in order to please others!

So let me get this right, you have spent 3 years of not communicating a simple thing as not liking a certain type of movie genre....if you can't communicate a SIMPLE desire how do you communicate the big stuff like SEX.....I am pretty sure you are having sex all wrong...sucks...what a waste when you have a voice...

How do you know OP doesn't have a great relationship and this is something they will laugh about when they're in their old age? Nothing wrong with small/white lies.

69 thumbs up...giggity
Masift 21
wow that's actually some damn good advice!
rainbowbigbird 7
Well, one way of looking at it... You two no longer have to endure the horror flicks... Now onto the romantic comedies :)
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
Yay :)
zombicidal 11
ugh gross romantic comedies are the movies you watch once then forget the name of they are the one night stands of the film industry whereas if you watch a truly glorious horror flick (not the crappy ones like insidious and paranormal activity) then you remember it for years
trollsemen 8
Hey Bigbird, Im from Fridley to! But living in St. Paul
godofcyanide 8
Agreed with 52. I told one girl I dated about the "Romantic Comedy Formula." After two more movies, she realized I was right, and that was the end of that. ;)
amayasoma 19
Hardly ever, 52. I still to this day remember love and enjoy "50 First dates.' One of my all time favorite romantic comedies.

I do enjoy Adam sandler movies yes I agree little Nicky was good too but those are exceptions to the rule

God, why the hell would Some one thumb down a comment about living somewhere?
indianguyinuk 12
@138 its irrelevant. This is not a dating site hey i too live their lets start a random conversation. no the comment section is not for that

It's cool trollsemen, people are jerks :P I enjoy fridley alot! :)
Daralea 21
Noooooo! Not the romantic comedies! -screams as Psycho horror music plays in the background-
babelini 12
ydi for not confessing from the beginning.
22cute 17
Another way to look at it - you now have 2 more things in common!!
CaliGali 9
Yea so you both lied to each other.... I wonder why? Are you that desperate or what?
kelsiaj1999 0
Dont be rude!!

Dont be rude!!
VeganVampyre 27
No, Cali has a point. Why would you lie about your interests just to impress someone unless you're that desperate for attention? It's like that other FML about the girl who told a hot guy she was vegetarian while eating a steak. Don't do stupid stuff like that and you won't get into these situations. Just be yourself and if they like it, great; if not, too damn bad.
Daralea 21
tsk tsk...asking people not to be rude on the internet. Futility at its finest.

On the bright side, you don't have to endure horror movies anymore
Mister_Triangle 21
On that same bright side: they obviously love each other very much if they both put up with something they hated to please the other.
cBlackout 13
Well isn't that just terrible.
james_aka_frosty 3
My thoughts precisely
ohmandapants 17
Kind of weird that your entire relationship would be based on a live of horror films...there should be more to a relationship...in any case YDI for not being honest from the beginning.
fthku 13
She said it was "born" out of it, not based on it. Based on it would suggest it's the reason they are still dating. How the heck could it be based on it if they both hate it? Of course, this also begs the question as to how it could be born out of it, but oh well. OP, that sucks for you. As a side note, quality horror films are the best!
ohmandapants 17
Well "born out of" it makes it seem like that's really all they have in common, plus three years of continuous horror movies...
ohmandapants 17
Whoops *love not live
DjeePee 25
Hmm, I can perfectly imagine a good relationship being born out of a similar love for horror movies... *OP walks into a video store where she sees an incredible fancy guy* OP: Hi. Future boyfriend: Oh, hello. OP: What movie do you got there? Future boyfriend: *insert random title of a horror movie*. It seems to be very good. OP: Yeah, I've heard that too. Would you like to go to my house and watch it together? Future boyfriend: That would be great! *relationship is born* ...See? But it's a little bit silly to keep pretending for three years.
SirEBC 7
This seems like a fun game. OP: *Walks into video store* Future boyfriend: Ohai. Do you like horror fil- *CHLOROFORM RAG TO FACE* Relationship is born. *SirEBC bows*
ohmandapants 17
Yes but...if they both hate horror films, that scenario just doesn't seem plausible. Then again, how it could even happen that a relationship is born out of this doesn't seem to make much sense either...
VeganVampyre 27
I guess it's possible that one of them was looking at a horror film to see if they wanted to try watching it, or maybe for a friend or something, and the other one was like, "oh that looks like a great movie" to start a convo. And then they both started lying their asses off to impress each other with how much they looovvee horror films. :P
twinboo3 4
y did y'all lie 2 each other?? seems kinda pointless 2 lie bout sumin lyk that
