Disney loving men

What are you thoughts on Disney loving men? It’s one of the things that contributed to my divorce I would say. Am I wrong here?

his obsession really got out of control in the end and it Really put me off. He was spending money on this hobby. A middle aged man tweeting about princess movies and obsessing over Mickey Mouse. He’s into other stuff that is similar but would be too outing to discuss. When he likes something he REALLY likes it.

we do have kids that show a moderate interest in Disney, I would say a normal level for kids. they are actually older and kinda moving away from it now anyway.

would this put you off? Or was I unreasonable?

You just weren't compatible, lots of people have random hobbies and interests.

Completely weird and gross! I don't like Disney, at all, and a man liking it would put me so off. They have a reputation for being unsavoury (do your research) so I'd wonder why a man would be so into Disney. To me, it means the reputation is deserved.

I don't know. It depends what form the interest took. My husband loves a Disney theme park and appreciates the films - we both recently saw Toy Story for example. But I think any adult being into Disney princesses is weird.

Honestly? It sounds as though you were incompatible. Was this a new obsession? It would have been easier to break up with him before you got married.

Not for me to dictate any adult’s hobbies or interests provided no one else is hurt. It would, however, cringe me the fuck out personally and I wouldn’t be remotely attracted to him.
