Anyone seeing Twilight breaking dawn?! How do I get my bf to see it with me? (he hates the series)

No self-respecting dude wants to sit through that bullshit. Take a girlfriend. If you make your bf go, he will never forgive you. He might even hurt you.

Thanks for the q.

I have no clue why girls insist that guys watch movies with them. It isn't a bonding experience for him. It just seems like exerting relationship guilt or power when you could just give him a pass on the movie. When an important events come up he is may feel more inclined to accompany you because you have been fair about less important events, like a silly movie that he hates.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with you lol! But exactly, it's about choosing your battles!

totally agree!!

Alright, some sensible advice here!
Unless you're willing to sit through manly guy movies, if he doesn't like those types of movies, don't compel him, he'll appreciate you for it.

I've sat through many an 80's Arnold movie for my guy. And the 4th Rocky movie....he owes me big :P Mostly we watch things we both like, or get each other to watch things we think the other will like (he got me to watch Firefly, I got him to watch Berserk ect) but everyone and while we make the other sit through a guilty pleasure movie. Though, since we both kind of hate romantic movies, our guilty pleasures are usually the "it's so bad it's hilarious" kind. We were both really excited about the Dark Knight Rises, and went to the midnight premiere together.

why would you want to?! o.0 he doesn't like it don't take him. my ex saw part one without complaint. but that was because he lost a bet and he held up his end. (even though i gave him a chance to escape cause i thought it was cruel)

If the first person you think of to take to see this film is your boyfriend then maybe it's a sign you need to go out with your female friends a bit more, they may be feeling a bit neglected if you'd choose dragging someone who'd hate it to see the film with you over them!

Why on Earth would you want to go to a movie with someone who doesn't want to see the movie? Sounds to me like a set up for a disastrous evening. Even worse he might expect you to go see some awful end-of-the-world-alien-underwater bullshit movie with him! Call your friends, make a date with them, and get down with the vampires and warewolves with the girls. You're not going to change his mind in this case and it's not even worth a try.

Dude, why even try to force him to go if you know he hates the series? That's just selfish. I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself knowing that he's just sitting there being miserable. Take someone that will actually enjoy it. Yeesh.

There is a reason everyone commenting on this feels the same way lol. Its silly. It is healthy to have different interests from your significant other and do things separately and often. He should be able to go hangout with his guy friends, and you should be spending time with your girlfriends. Its easy to get wrapped up in each other and quit paying attention to your friends but its important to do so. This situation is a perfect example of that. You say that usually you both have similar taste in movies but once in a while he wants to see one, or you want to see one that the other doesn't want to see. In these cases you should be making it a girls night and going to see your movie without him and vice versa. When he wants to go see some amazingly action packed guy movie you don't wanna see, he should go see it with his guy friends. You know youd have more fun going to see twilight with your girls anyways, they wouldn't be making fun of the movie every 5 minutes lol.

Also the other point a previous commenter made was good as well. You need to pick your battles. When something comes up like a work christmas party or a family get together that your boyfriend probably would rather avoid but you want him there, he will know it means a lot to you and its not just another time your nagging him to tag along with you over something silly. He will go with you willingly and support you. If your always trying to get him to do things with you he would rather not, he will be more irritable when you ask him to join you on something thats actually important.

Let him be his own person with his own interests, you should do the same. The best relationships I have seen work because its two people choosing to spend time together and really enjoying that time because they have their own lives and aren't with each other every second. Support him and encourage him to have time to himself with his friends, no one wants to be nagged or smothered. You want him to think of you as an amazing person who adds that love and fun to his life, who is a support to his life, not someone who requires him to stop his life for you, who is a drain on him, who needs to be babysat, who is always asking him to change his plans, or interests to suit you. You want to be a confident independent woman, that's what attracts men. What attracts women to a man is a confident independent man. Why would you want to change that. be one half of a whole, not 2/3rds.
