Today my boyfriend and my best friend had a very lengthy, detailed conversation about Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, of which I know nothing about. Once they stopped, I looked at him and smiled, and he responded with, "Why can't you be more like her?" FML

You should read that, it's not a classic for nothing... It is acceptable to have different interests than your boyfriend, but maybe you could try looking into what he likes, some of my ex-boyfriends showed me some great movies, books and music!

I don't really agree, people often have different interest and while she could definitely watch a movie with her bf of show interest, she doesn't have to. and the way he commented on it was really harsh.

That was messed up of him to say. Later on, have a calm talk with him and try to sort things out. If he continues to be disrespectful like that then dump him.

Yeah, that's what I think. If she knows nothing about LOTR, she knows nothing about most of his interests, I bet.

I wouldn't be surprise to see them married in the future haha.

It's simply a jackass thing for him to say. If he wants OP to be like her best friend, he can date the best friend then.

I think anyone who finds his comment "dump-worthy" is most likely single. It was clearly a joke. I take interest in all the dumb shit my boyfriend likes, and visa versa, a relationship is a learning experience so learn about his hobbies!

Tell him he hurt your feelings. Though OP, the book is very good!

That happens to me too (-the boyfriend) because whilst she knows nothing about anything like lord of the rings Harry potter and anything else awesome, she's still prettier and skinnier and smarter than me and were always compared. It sucks but u gotta get used to it.

I would have slapped him across the face.... He needs to learn to have a little respect for your differences... I'm sorry but your boyfriend sounds like an ass
