For not wanting to be obsessed with Goldie Hawn?

[MouldyChipPan]

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". 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?

First wives club tho

Great film!!!

Thank you so much for saying House Sitter, it was driving me mad that I couldn't remember the name of that film

They sound slightly loopy and I'd bet my left arm they've got a shrine to her somewhere in that house with a candle perpetually burning and a lock of her hair stolen from a time before she took out the restraining order against them.

Odd, odd, odd.

YANBU

although i think YWBU to tell them its boring..... they'll probably not listen.
Can you keep your distance a bit - not visit with DH so much. If i was in your situation i would be giving off murderous vibes which would undoubtedly make the situation worse....

Goldie feckin Hawn

YANBU. Idols are something you have when you're 13 not 113. FFS.

I knew from the moment I finished the OP that this would descend quickly into a Goldie Hawn appreciation thread

Someone emailed Wittertainment last week about being a huge Goldie fan, I wonder if it was your husband?

I could not stay with a man that behaved like a 12 year old boy!

It is too weird, I would not like it at all.

I would def say it is me or Goldie old boy, take your pick, as the two are not compatible and bloody mean it!!! He needs to get a life, have you thought about buying him a train set for xmas or a guide to plane spotting? You might be able to move him on to something you can live with!

Private Benjamin is my favourite.

Idols are something you have when you're 13 not 113. FFS.hmm

Ahem. Tom Hardy is not for 13 year olds

Batshit, utterly batshit!

Mind you, I loved Overboard when I was a tweenager. Watched it again as a proper grown up and was very sad it turns out to be a completely weird misogynistic plot line. Pouty disappointed face

I quite like Goldie Hawn BUT I would be seriously freaked out by this behaviour. I think you need to talk to your DH.

BTW my DH likes Fawlty Towers far more than I do, I like things he doesn't. We just watch them separately or watch something we both want to watch together - no sulks. Life is too short for this.

Rofl at MNers responding to this by banging on about their fave Goldie Hawn films :o :o :o

But OP honestly, she may have her qualities but that would drive me insane. I would try to make a deal with DH that as you are sick to death of the GH obsession, he keeps it for when he's with his parents or on his own and you don't have to bother with it. That seems fair enough. If he won't take you seriously I don't know what you can do. You'll have to LTB.

Kurt Russell was gorgeous in it and it had some cute kids I loved Overboard even if it was misogynistic

Clanging name drop
Goldie Hawn is a friend of a friend. Apparently she's lovely, cool & great fun. Very supportive & kind to friend. I'll pass this on, she's sure to have some good advice

Do they live in Royston vasey?

My mum LOVES Goldie Hawn.

She has never forgiven me from over 25 years ago for recording Neighbours over her favourite film - The Duchess And The Dirtwater Fox (which is a bit rubbish anyway).

Your Dh & PILs are bonkers. And very annoying bonkers at that.

YANBU.

Ooh ooh! Since we have someone who knows someone who knows GH, maybe they could ask her to pop over and come round for tea at the PILs with OP sometime. "Is it OK if I bring a friend?" Then just turn up on the doorstep.

:o

It's weird enough that your adult husband is this obsessed, but even weirder that it's apparently a family affair and your PILs are obsessed with her as well. WTF?!

I think the genuinely creepy bit is that he tried to force you to watch her on the other telly. MAD.

Hahaha I just burst out laughing on the tube.

OP, please please be a troll!

Private Benjamin and House sitter are brilliant though. My mum used to love the one she did with Mel Gibson (bird on a wire or something like that?)

The question that has to be asked Pointless is are you blonde and petite?

This thread has made me realise that I have never seen a Goldie Hawn movie in full. Only bits of some. Sorry OP but I'm now compiling a list to work my way through

What?
