Yup. My sister is always trying to make me watch one show or another. Sometimes I will but often I won't. Why would I waste an hour of my time watching something I don't want to?

[thewakokid]

Right?! And the fact that I would be doing it under duress means that the chances of me actually enjoying the experience is so slim. Even if it's good, I'd just end up resenting being made to watch it.

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, I am way more likely to dislike something I am forced to consume. Same thing happened in school with assigned reading!

"Under duress"? "Resent being made to watch it"? Now who's being a whiny baby? Someone you care about could ask you to try something in a franchise you've liked and you'd treat it like some sort of hostage situation because...maybe you heard somewhere it wasn't very good?

[(Anonymous)]

I think he means literally under duress, like if his SO went full metal crazy like OP and said, "If you do not watch Project Runway with me, we're through."

He's now even LESS likely to enjoy this show because he's been fucking emotionally blackmailed into watching it, which is going to colour that experience.

It's called being an adult. It sucks, I know, but we sometimes have to do things we don't like to do to make the people we care about happy.

[kaijinscendre]

I think a part of being an adult is also understanding that others won't like the same things we like.

The Lion King is literally my favorite fictional thing ever created. I planned an entire vacation around seeing it on Broadway. I cried while watching it. I've seen the movies dozens of times. I am thinking of getting a Lion King tattoo. It is hard to describe how much that movie means to me.

And yet, I am close friends with someone who has never seen it and has no interest is seeing it. And that is okay because people have different interests. And a movie/show/book is not a reason to break off a relationship.

I fucking love The Lion King

That's not how you have a healthy relationship, though. Being an adult means compromise, yes, but it also means accepting that sometimes the people we care about aren't going to care about the same things that we do and that's okay. And personally, I wouldn't want a friend or an SO to force themselves to do something they didn't like just for my sake.

being an adult includes not throwing a tantrum because someone doesn't want to watch your imaginary space show

[(Anonymous)]

Being an adult can also mean understanding your s/o doesn't have to like everything you like, and not deciding to throw away a relationship because it 'bothers' you that they simply aren't interested in a show.
