To not want to watch a horror film

[Rillyrillygoodlooking]

The unborn is on tv. I hate horror films, and as I have got older I hate them even more.
DH wants to watch the film, he says I should pull myself together and get over it as I am now 37 and shouldn't be such a baby. Maybe not in those words.
I am so jittery about anything remotely spooky or zombified at the moment I get a real sense of foreboding or abject fear. So I don't see why I should watch horror films.
I have a feeling that DH is just fed up of watching comedies or rom coms!
Aibu to not watch them therefore DH can't watch them either?

Why do you both have to watch them? Is there not something else you can be doing instead? Dp and I often watch films seperately as we dont always agree on what to watch. BTW I LOVE horrors, nothing like being scared shitless

yanbu to not want to watch them, i hate them too.

yabu to not let dh watch them, go and read a book in another room or if you have a laptop go and watch a dvd you like in bed, it's not fair if you dictate what is watched all the time.

Yes, I am on mn instead! But it's on in the background and I end up looking up and watching it by accident. Otherwise I have to go and sit in the bedroom.
The music gets to me as well. I am a complete wuss

My DH rarely wants to watch horrors but when he does its always "28 Weeks Later" and he insists on all the lights in the house being turned off (and it is dark here as we're rural).I wish he'd watch more horrors with me (so I don't get so scared ) but I also wish he wouldn't insist on the lights going out.

I do think if you're really scared of them,he should watch them somewhere else.If there isn't that option,can't you read a book?

I'd hate to sit and watch comedy all the time,as I'm very particular about what I find funny.......

where in the world are you watching horror films at this time of day?

Ok I have to admit I am a bit of a dictator when it comes to the tv [scuffs foot]
DH wants us to be together in the evening which is why he put forward his argument of my needing to get a grip. However now we are both tapping on our iPhones and ignoring the tv heh heh heh. And each other.

I'm in nz.

YANBU - I really don't like horror films any more. I used to when I was a teen, but got really freaked by, of all things, Nightmare on Elm street and that was the beginning of the end for me. Last one I saw, half voluntarily, was The Ring - and that was the end. No more. My mind just hangs on to the bad pictures too much and replays them - gah.

It sounds like you have similar ishoos in your house as I do in mine - but DH has come to accept that if he wants to watch something that I really don't, then either he watches it in the bedroom or I go off and do something else. Togetherness when something objectionable is on tv just isn't an option (he gets to exercise the same right, btw!)

So you won't be posting on the 'snow chat' thread

DP loves his bloody horror films too, getting Sky Multiroom has been the best thing ever, he can fester alone with his blood gore and creepiness while dds and I snuggle up with a nice cuddly rom com. It's a pest if you haven't got another room to lurk in though.

Nope. I don't like horror or films with graphic violence in them. Just don't see the point. The real world is bad enough (have you seen the footage from Syria and Egypt this morning?).

I don't watch the news much anymore either as it's too depressing.
Yes thumb witch the pictures stay with me, especially going to bed in the dark. I have to run down the corridor, jump into bed and hide under the duvet like it is some kind of protective shield.

In my defence I do branch out into sci fi or action films sometimes
