Miscellaneous: Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies...

Today, my boyfriend convinced me to face my fear of horror movies by promising to hold my hand through the entire flick. He fell asleep 10 minutes into it, farting and snoring in his sleep, whilst I was paralysed by fear. FML

Today, I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 with my boyfriend. In hopes of him putting his arm around me or holding my hand, I told him that I was very scared and pretended to cry a little. He told me to be quiet because I was ruining the movie for him. Then he moved seats. FML

Spooky season special

Today, I was having a movie night with my significant other. I suggested a classic horror movie binge, and she agreed. However, as soon as the movie started, she fell asleep and started snoring louder than a chainsaw. It's hard to take scary movies seriously with the sounds of a chainsaw going on, I tell you. FML

Today, I asked a girl I like to the movies. Wanting her to lean on me and stay in my arms during the movie, I chose a horror film. I screamed like a pussy the whole time. FML

Today, my boyfriend fell asleep while watching TV. I thought it would be cute to try to kiss him awake like they do in the movies. He farted. FML

Today, my boyfriend was complaining about how we never see the movies he wants to see. So I took him to the movies, and he picked which one. Then he fell asleep. FML

The horror!

Today, my boyfriend confessed that he hates horror films. Our relationship was born out of our 'love' for horror films. I have endured 3 years of watching films that absolutely terrify me only to find out he doesn't like them either. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I went to see a horror movie. It ended up scaring her so badly that she refused to leave our bed all night long, even to pee. I have to clean the mattress now. FML

Wuss

Today, my boyfriend is completely obsessed with zombie and horror movies. I don’t care what he watches, the only problem is the big wuss has horrible thrashing nightmares. Last night he thrashed so hard, he elbowed me in the face. I have a big swollen purple knot right on my forehead. FML

Scary

By xHoho - 26/11/2013 05:50 - United States - West Fargo

Today, I took my girlfriend to a scary movie, hoping I could comfort her at a scary part. Instead when a scary part came on, she reacted by throwing up all over my lap and the person in front of us. FML

Today, I saw Saw IV with my boyfriend. He held me close and said, "I'll protect you." A few seconds later, he jumped up so violently, he gave me a bloody nose, and ran screaming out of the room. FML

Why didn't you try to wake him up and leave the theater?

OP was PARALYZED by fear.

Once you get interested in a movie, you almost have to see what happens next... so even if OP was scared, she might not could make herself look away. Kinda like most people do when they witness something gruesome in real life.

True. I've heard it's not that uncommon for someone to be morbidly curious about dark/scary/gruesome things. So while they might know that a gory scene would give them nightmares and so don't usually actively search for them, they have trouble looking away if they happen to pass one. I'm guessing she just succumbed to peer-pressure, and underestimated the paralyzing effect of fear combined with human fascination of the morbid.

why didn't you just turn it off? or perhaps wake him up and leave where you were?

The dramaturgy is higher in this post than the horror movies. "Hun, I love you, and to show that...I HOLD YOUR HAND TILL WE GET THROUGH THIS VALLEY OF FEAR" *10 minutes later* *zZzzzZzzZzz bzzt zzzZzz bzzzt...* how romantic

how is watching horror movies a fear? the whole point of it is to scare you! so it is not a fear

I'll be down voted for this but I just can't understand why a fictional, completely made up movie can scare you so much. I watch horror everyday and literally have nightmares every night and I'm still not scared. I think you need to fix whatever the root of the problem is.

Because the mind isn't always logical. I also have no problems with scary movies, but I also understand not everyone is so lucky. My mom has a phobia of spiders, she can't even see a picture of one or she freaks out. Fears of clowns are illogical really, but very common.

You deserve it simlpy because you sat there watching it while he slept. Turn it off, leave, or wake the b*stard - all viable options that don't leave you watching a movie you didn't want to see in the first place.
