Miscellaneous: Today, my husband was planning on getting me my favorite movie...

Today, my husband was planning on getting me my favorite movie as an anniversary present; I ended up buying it. He had to give me the money and leave because he is severely arachnophobic and couldn't even pick up the box. I have to hide the movie for fear of it being destroyed. Again. FML

Today, trying to be romantic, I invited my girlfriend over to watch a movie. I said she could pick one up on the way, and I'd pay for it later. I ended up having to suffer through some "movie" that involved nothing but Nicolas Cage gurning like a stroke victim between crappy fight scenes. FML

Today, the guy I'm dating found out I have severe arachnophobia. He downloaded a picture of a huge, hairy spider and set it as background on my iPhone. I can't even unlock my phone, as every time I try, the spider pops up and I drop the phone. He laughs every time I do it. FML

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

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 roommate thought it would be a good idea to show me his huge new tarantula despite knowing that I have extremely severe arachnophobia. I ended up killing it with a book and apparently now owe him $500. FML

Today, my girlfriend, KNOWING I have severe arachnophobia, changed the wallpapers on my phone and tablet to pictures of tarantulas, all because she's mad at me. And she won't change it back. 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

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

Well, it's obvious that her favorite movie has a great deal of spiders. The only movie I can think of is Eight Legged Freaks, though there are plenty more spider-based movies out and about. So, the cover probably has a spider on it, or maybe it's just a mind thing where he knows it's a movie about spiders and he can't bear the thought to bring it home. Simple. I don't understand how that is so hard to comprehend. :s

There are absolutely NO movies in our house about spiders or clowns. When my husband is in the mood for either one he watches on Netflix in another room and warns me not to come in. (He's the very best!!!)

My husband plays a game that has a lot of spiders in it. He always tells me not to look at his screen when he gets into a spider heavy area.

YDI for leaving it to your husband to do when he obviously doesn't bode well in that situation. Had you been guilting and shaming him ever since you discovered his phobia, too? Or 'face your fears' treatment?
