Me and my BF of half a year have quite different interests and tastes in music and movies. I don't mean "completely different" but in some ways we just don't understand each other's tastes. I know this is perfectly fine but lately it's been a reason for us having a quarrel.
When we weren't dating, I asked him whether hewould like to join me at the house music group concert. He listened to their songs and evn liked some of them so he went there with me. We started dating right after this show and later he told me that he went there not because of music but because of me.
He himself is a juzz fan while I don't really understand and like jazz. So when there was a juzz show he asked me to join him and I refused at first because I don't understand this music. Then I thought that I could go there just for him and so we went there. It was OK but not completely as it turned out. I will go back to that later.
Then there was a show of my favorite music band and I had tickets long before I met him. I asked him whether he would like to go too and he refused saying it's not his type of music and going there "just for me" would be too expensive. I was totally fine with that because tastes differ and it's normal. I also didn't want him to spend a lot of money on the show he wouldn't enjoy.
So yesterday we were discussing the movies we want to see and once again we saw that our movie tastes were different: he wanted to see the movie that I didn't find interestng and I wanted to see the film that he considered to be low-quality. To be honest, I see no problem in this, I mean, we could go watch the movies we like separately. I'd be fine with that but it turned out that he wouldn't.
He told me that I never compromise my interests like he does and also remembered that house music concert to remind me that he didn't enjoy this music but he went because of me. I told him about the jazz show where I joined him for him and he answered that my facial expression at this show looked as if I saw and heard something very unpleasant. Once again, to be honest, this music wasn't my favorite but it was OK so I can't recall the moment when I could feel some disgust and even showed it via my face. Apparently, he saw just that.
The main point from him was that he can never get a concession from me. I didn't want to continue this quarrel so I agreed because sometimes it's difficult for me, that is true. While at the same time I think that having different interests and enjoy something separately is alright so... Idk, what do I do now? Seems like my only option is to accept everything he suggests to do and do things with him to spend time together. Have you faced the same problem?
