Thread: Not being into H-ween or scary things?

I'm sure you have other interests in common. My wife can't understand why I would rather watch "Evil Dead" than "Sleepless in Seattle." Oh, well.

Time to explore your seperate interests is as important as times spent on mutual interests as far as I'm concerned.

Been married now 12 years, and it's never been a problem. She goes scrapbooking with her friends, when she's gone I rent horror movies, etc. She's come to where she will provide input into my props, that's about as much as I can ask. She provides a good conscience for me, since I have a tendency to take things a little too far sometimes. Keeps me in the "I want the kids hanging onto the parents legs, but not up all night with nightmares" parameters I've set for myself.

Yeah, gotta have seperate interests or it gets boooooring! Goin' on 15 years, and while I'm preoccupied with Halloween, Mr. We'en does Fantasy Football, goes hiking, and generally does anything but Halloween! He gets into it around the date though, so we can share the fun. I'm just a little OCD about it the rest of the time!!

This Friday I was talking to my bf trying to get him to go see Halloween with me and his response.."why would I want to sit there and be miserable and bored? I'd keep looking at my watch wondering when it was going to be over?"

That really upset me. I really despised him there for a bit. How could someone not be interested in seeing a classic horror flick? How could it not get the blood flowing? It's like I can't even comprehend it.

At least I've been able to get him more into the holiday. he likes to dress up and he usually helps me w/ decoration set up. But he hates scary movies and haunted houses.

I say he's just a big scaredy cat! How does one handle that?

Pure Blasphemy!!!!!! j/k my wife is the same....loves dressing up and scaring people on halloween , but cant stand the scary movies.....my suggestion.....have a kid and train em young. mine is 11 and LOVES the scary movies(we watched Jeepers Creepers last night).
