Movies And Relationships. Can't We Just Get Along?

Woman: Just once I’d like to go to a movie without your complaining.
Guy: Maybe if once we went to a movie I wanted to go to, I wouldn’t complain.
Woman: We do, all the time.
Guy: We don’t.
Woman: We always talk first.
Guy: Yea, I tell you what I’d like to see, and you say that’s for idiots and then suggest others.
Woman: And you agree, and say fine
Guy: I don’t agree. I say fine, like fine, as in whatever you want dear.
Woman
: You’re saying I pressure you to go to my movies.
Guy: You make it clear if I don’t go, you’ll make my night a living hell. Yea, you pressure....overhear more

Least my guy can do is try to enjoy some of movies I like. I let him play video games like a 10 year oldd, he should let me believe he likes my movies.

so you want him to lie about enjoying a crappy movie? men look for different things in a movie than women do. guys like action, guns, female nudity, explosions, and cars. women like to go to movies that make them depresses. i.e. chick flicks. a comedy movie is awsome also.. maybe if you have problems at the movies compromise? you pick one movie.. the guy picks the next.. but dont ask him to pretend to like a movie... thats just like lying.. i dont like to lie. so i wont.

How hard is it to rotate? My girlfriend and I see movies nearly every week, we rotate who pays (because she's too proud to let me pay all the time and I'm not arrogant enough to force it on her) and thusly, who get's to pick the movie.

Give and take, if anything you do makes you miserable to make someone else happy, that's pure poison that will do nothing but foster resentment for whoever you're with.
