People Start Debates In These "Am I The Jerk?" Stories

"Recently, I watched a series myself because my partner wasn't interested. I recommended it to him, and he eventually watched it and loved it too. Now he's invested and wants to watch the last season (s3) together. I'm near the end of season 2, and he's at the end of season 1. So for the past week, I haven't watched a single episode to wait for him, only to find out he hasn't been watching. I try asking him to watch it so I can keep watching too since I'm desperate to see the next episode. He told me to stop pushing him. This isn't the first time this has happened. I recall 3 series I've stopped watching for him because he won't catch up but doesn't want me to watch alone. I got mad and said I don't want to watch things together anymore, and he said I'm overreacting." Another User Comments: "Watch it alone but don't tell him. Practice a few OMGs! And No Way! Along with a healthy sprinkling of I Did NOT See That Coming! in the mirror for when he gets around to watching it with you. Remember, you aren't auditioning for the Royal Shakespeare Company, so don't hold the remote like it's Yoricks and screech "THY HAST SHOWN ME MANY UNEXPECTED THINGS, MAGIC BOX, WHAT OTHER SECRETS DOS THEE HOLD????" Good luck, NTJ."

Also, tell him you'd like to work out some kind of mutual understanding on how long to wait in situations like these, as you'd prefer this to be stress-free. Either things match up and you watch together or you watch separately with no resentment on either side." jwjnthrowawaykfeiofj Another User Comments: "NTJ. I've tried watching shows with my SO but after being married for like 11 years, it just doesn't work. There have been situations where we said we were going to watch a movie together, then he watched it on a plane because "there was nothing else good to watch," so after that I said screw this, I'm watching what I want if he wants to watch he can join in and eventually catch up, or he won't. Some people aren't as interested in the same series or like my SO, they're just inconsiderate. Watch what you wanna watch when you wanna watch it OP. If he wants to join in and catch up cool, if not oh well." [deleted]
