*shrug*

It does seem like a minor complaint, but I also think it's a real valid complaint, and of that's the way the relationship math adds up for OP, fair enough. Of course I also think both of are probably making unconscious assumptions about them that are influencing us as well.

How is it a real valid complaint? To me it's on par of me saying to my SO, "You've eaten all these other types of pasta but won't eat lasagna. I want to break up."

No one is obligate to like (or even try) everything or anything that someone else enjoys. As long as they're not being a dick about the other person liking it.

Because I think it's a reasonable desire, and a reasonable expectation, for you to want your SO to try things you care about. I think that's reasonable. Now, how much you can compromise on that, and where you draw the lines, and how seriously you take it, that varies, but the desire in itself is reasonable and fair. Therefore, OP is valid in feeling aggrieved about their SO not being willing to do so.

OP is going to have a hard time finding someone who likes EVERY thing they like.

I didn't say it was a reasonable expectation that they would *like* everything, but that they'd be willing to *try* things

And even then it's not even a blanket thing but you should at least be open minded or have some kind of reason not to try something, not just be like fuck that

I think it's a reasonable desire to want your SO to like the things you like, I'll totally agree. I think it's human nature to be with someone and want them to enjoy things you enjoy, because it makes your brain go, "Yay we're compatible!"

But it seems like an invalid complaint to me to leap from, "Hey I like X would you give it a try for me?" to "I like X and if you refuse to watch it with me, I want to break up."

At that point you're either being a ridiculously controlling assblaster or you're just not that into them and you're fishing for a reason to break things off.

I don't think it's a reasonable expectation for someone to like it, but to try and watch an episode, which is what we're talking about here

It's be a different story if OP's SO had tried it
