I hate scary movies. DH will make gentle fun of my scaredy cat rep, but he'd never make me watch a horror movie. He'll watch them on his own or go to the movies with a friend (the kiddo's also getting into scary movies too).
Dear Prudie,
Every year my husband and I have the same argument. My husband loves
scary movies and wants to watch one each year on Halloween after we put
the kids to bed. Scary movies just aren't for me. When I watch them, I
feel anxious and terrified. I have nightmares and end up spending the
next week afraid to be alone in the house. He thinks I should suck it
up. He says he doesn’t care for romantic comedies, but he watches them
with me. He doesn’t understand there’s a difference between sitting
through a movie that may not be your favorite, and subjecting yourself
to a frightening and disturbing experience. I've suggested that he watch
his favorite scary movies alone while I do something in another room,
but he says that’s no fun. Who's right?
