For not wanting to be obsessed with Goldie Hawn?

When I first met DH we went to his parents and they sparked up this weird conversation about Goldie Hawn, went on about how much they all love her and started reminiscing about her various films, roles, characters, interviews etc. They then put in a Goldie Hawn film which we had to sit and watch and laughed manically throughout. DH was going along with this and acting the same.

This obsession has continued throughout our relationship and I find it weird and boring!!

Last night we popped to his parents for something and again the Goldie Hawn subject came up. DH was actively encouraging it and waffling on about his favourite GH film.

When we got home last night we sat down to TV and he starts putting on a GH film. I said "I don't want to watch this tonight, I just want to relax with a bit of telly" so he turned to me, smiled and pressed play!!! I said "well if you're watching this I'm going to bed to watch TV up there". He replied "I'm going to come up there and put "her" on your TV too". Hmm not thinking he was being serious I replied "yeah right" and went upstairs. I set the TV up, went to toilet and when I came back in the bedroom he was frantically trying to get the film on that TV! I said "look I'm tired and not in the mood for messing about so just put the tv back onto the channel I'd set it on". He smiled at me again (one of those "look how misheivous I am" exagurated smiles) and carried on trying to get the film to work. At this point I shouted at him and said "will you just fuck off with this Goldie Hawn shit? It's not funny, it's not cute, it's fucking boring. Nobody else cares about shit like this, it's boring".

He got all defensive and said "fine I'll leave you on your own" and he went off to watch the shit 100 year old film downstairs laughing like a loon every 5 minutes.

I can't be doing with it!! It's fucking weird and pointless. How do I tell them I don't want to hear about it anymore without sounding like a total killjoy?

Umm. Weird. I was obsessed with certain pop stars as a teenager, but grew out of it pretty quickly. There are actors and comedians that I know I'll enjoy more than other ones. But this is definitely on the obsessive side of normal.

Yanbu, but I think you know that. Sorry I have no advice to offer.

Peakyblinders · 14/09/2017 09:20

This is the weirdest thread I've ever read on here. And that's saying something Grin

SpottedGingham · 14/09/2017 09:22
Confused
Mrsmadevans · 14/09/2017 09:24

Wow just Wow!
Do you think they are all just winding you up?

CryingMessFFS · 14/09/2017 09:26

Wow that is weird 😂

Maudlinmaud · 14/09/2017 09:27

Hah! Really?
Can I just say my favourite film is death becomes her. It's brilliant!!
I suggest you use this quote from it the next time he annoys you.
"You're in the shit house now pal"

Getout21 · 14/09/2017 09:27

Run, run away & hide. 🤣

Getout21 · 14/09/2017 09:28

SolidarityGdansk · 14/09/2017 09:33

(Sorry - not helpful)

CaoNiMartacus · 14/09/2017 09:35

How queer!

Systamex · 14/09/2017 09:36

How completely bonkers Grin.

Sorry, I don't know how on earth you should deal with this situation.

Writerwannabe83 · 14/09/2017 09:37

Death becomes her is a brilliant film!!!!

And the one where she's a "rich bitch" and falls off a boat, gets amnesia and ends up living with a carpenter and his crazy kids - I think it's called Overboard?

And I love the one she's in with Steve Martin where she's a compulsive liar.....I can't remember what that ones called.

Private Benjamin is also a great film!!

Wow....sounds like I'm a fan of a lot of her films!! Send your husband to my house with all his films Grin

Juanbablo · 14/09/2017 09:37

That is beyond weird.

Sandsunsea · 14/09/2017 09:37

Hahaha! That's hilarious! It's a bit meet the fockers. I'd Goldie Hawn my arse right out of the door!

OldPony · 14/09/2017 09:39

My ex in-laws used to be like this with Dad's Army. They had the box set and everything and used to laugh manically. I was like WTF!

PetalMettle · 14/09/2017 09:39

Er no. Yanbu. That is odd

TheNoseyProject · 14/09/2017 09:40

Urgh! No advice, sorry!

GeekyWombat · 14/09/2017 09:40

I loved Overboard. When I was eight.

sauceyorange · 14/09/2017 09:41

First wives club tho

MissionItsPossible · 14/09/2017 09:41

Counter it and start to go on and on about Kate Hudson and how incredibly more talented she is and how she has more better looks in her little finger than Goldie Oldie Hawn has in her entire body. Start a Kate Hudson shrine complete with mini voodoo dolls of Goldie. Bonus points if it looks a little satanic.

BackieJerkhart · 14/09/2017 09:41

Whaaaat? Shock they can't be serious? They must be winding you up? No-one could be that obsessed. One person maybe but surely not a whole family?? That's seriously weird.

Mrsmadevans · 14/09/2017 09:41

Hang on Old Pony , THIS IS THE DAD'S ARMY YOU are talking about here! Grin

OldPony · 14/09/2017 09:43

It's just not funny!!

Maudlinmaud · 14/09/2017 09:44

For the super fan.

For not wanting to be obsessed with Goldie Hawn?

Housesitter & Death becomes her are great.

But they do sound rather OTT with their Love for Goldie.
