To be pissed off at DH?

[Mothergothic]

So me and my husband have a baby and I've been very sensitive to babies on TV and film (crying, scenes of peril and what not).
I've mentioned this loads of times, he'll he's even see me cry at a number of things and tonight was the 2nd time he's shown me a film that has children killed and babies in bad scenes.
Background, we are into horror films so it's a bit a given that some will have scenes like that but I'm a annoyed that he knows I can't handle that at the moment. And when the film ended I said it was good but and then went into saying how uncomfortable I was watching a good chunk of the film. No sorry just "oh I forgot!"
AIBU to be angry?!

I'd have left the room- frequently do, if Dh is watching something I don't like. There's nothing to stop you going to do something else and leaving him to it.

I'm not a fan of horror films anyway, but I really cannot understand how people can enjoy watching films where children and babies are hurt or killed.

Ookaaaayyyy.

My dh will often turn off a film if I'm not comfortable (also very sensitive) However, if it's a film about war then he won't. So I pick up my phone and just don't watch it. You can't control what you both watch all the time!

Why would he get pissed off if he's already seen the film? And if you don't ask, how do you know he will get pissed off?

Unless he put you in a headlock forcing you to watch it YABU.

kinda think you need to grow up.

What film was it?

I can't watch anything like that either. I keep imagining it happening to DD. Where before it didn't bother me.

However there was a show with a zombie baby in it and that was hilarious.

This happened to me with Trainspotting and I protested straight away and walked out.
Also during another film with rape in it and I'm also quite sensitive to This is England.

I just walk out or ask to turn off.
It did irritate me that he didn't remember I don't like these things but I didn't take it out on him as he as a right to watch stuff on his tv too.

What movie was it?

Couldn't you have just started doing something else when you saw what sort of film it was? Yabu

You are being ridiculous, you are an adult. It's not up to your DH to police what you watch.

Don’t agree to watch any more horror movies maybe? I ajways think it’s a bit of a creepy hobby anyway, regardless of whether or not you have babies . Depends on the movie of course as some are so ludicrous they’re just funny. But that’s the thing; there’s rarely any merit in them as they’re usually utter shit. Horror porn marketed at creepy fuckers. I’m always a bit suspicious of people who love them for any other reason than to laugh at the silly ones.

Trainspotting is a weird one, as it isn’t a horror, is a good film and seems quite true to life. I could see how you couldn’t anticipate that sort of scene and would be effected by it.

It sounds like you think he’s deliberately ‘forgetting’ in order to cause you distress though? That’s creepy as fuck btw. Low level sadism. Are there any other signs that he’s a sadist? I’d be on the lookout.

What was the film?

Don’t watch The Witch (the VVITCH)

I definitely don't think I'm being childish. I do however think I'm being pretty too sensitive because you know ...I'm extremely hormonal with a new baby!

But you know you're hormonal so would be a good idea to ditch those types of films for a while maybe?

He's right, you're being silly. It's fictional, get over it.

Oooh @BlueThesaurusRex I looked that up it looks good - is it on Netflix/Prime or do I need to get the DVD?

Check out the film on doesthedogdie.com

I asked DH if a dog died in a film DC were watching, he didn't know so jokingly said that website.. I thought he was being serious but turns out it's an actual website!

It's not just a website about dogs.. there are other questions that have yes or no answers!

Stop watching crap films!

I'd skip horror films for a while OP. If he's not similarly affected he'll probably keep forgetting.

Or ask 'are there kids in this?' every time.

I was hard as nails before DC but child-in-peril science make me feel weird now. I cried at the prem babies pampers ads in the early days. I 'forgot' myself and watched train spotting (seen it before), awful. Even book club caught me out with a book where a mother lost two children - worse because it was presented as just another thing that happened to her as part of the plot.

You should have got up and left him to watch the film. You are responsible for your mental and emotional wellbeing. You're still an autonomous individual, right?

Oh ffs! I’m guessing you’re a grown arse woman who understands how to use the internet, google the film beforehand. Watching horror films might have been your thing but it clearly isn’t now, maybe it’s time you realise that and adapt your film preferences accordingly.
