Winter boredom*

[Raizin_Drop]

As extreme as it may sound to some, I have resorted to refraining from watching movies with my bf, due to all the comments he used to make before, concerning women's body parts, and during sex scenes and the sort. He made a comment once about an actress once, his exact words being: "If that were me, id be knobbing her in a corner". How dare he. He thinks I shouldn’t be upset about it. That I'm not being "normal." And that comment resurfaces frequently in my head til this day. He says it is his sense of humor, but as we have discussed countless times, our sense of humor is completely different and I'm not one for the sex jokes. I find them childish and lame. I gave him two chances to rectify himself before, and we reverted back to our movie watching, but for some reason, he cannot keep his mouth shut during these scenes, and the comments continued. Something has to be said . I don’t find the need to make a comment about every naked male form. So my question is, now that it is coming up to winter, what alternatives are there to movie watching, other than playing video games. I'm interested in knowing what couples will be doing together throughout this winter, in order to cure winter boredom. x

Cards, board games, mutual learning projects (you both take a foreign language class or learn to cook something unusual together), or YOU start picking the movies where you know there are no naked women (Seven Samurai, Hunt for Red October, classics like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, etc...)

Actually, I was considering this as an option, but wasn’t too sure. Eventually he may want to have his turn in picking a movie since I've been choosing them all:-) I don’t want it to appear obvious that I've screening them before viewing. But regardless, I figure that’s the only way we are going to be able to watch movies together (this way). We are avid video gamers, so I guess spreading out movie night to once a week would work, my choice everytime. My fave type of movies are horror, but I will also have a look out for these titles..x

I think you need to re-evaluate your sense of humour and reach a compromise. What you're effectively doing is censoring his temperament, and there are parts of it you may have to learn to live with. Give and take, you know.....If you find any comments he makes 'lewd, crude and terribly rude' - maybe there's a block of sorts in your own self-esteem. Why is this such a threat to you....
