This is so ridiculous I almost didn't post it, but I really need your perspectives because I don't know any other emets out there!

My boyfriend mentioned that he was watching "Bridesmaids" tonight & got so grossed out over the v* scene that he had to fast-forward through it. Any number of us might have just shut it off at that point (myself included). But he said that after he got off the phone with me he was going to keep watching it. I can't fathom why anyone would want to watch anything substandard enough to use v* as an actual plot device. I have written entire movies off because of this.

My boyfriend and I have actually fought about my habit of doing this. He likes to watch comedies, most of which are male-driven and involve at least one graphic scene of someone getting s***. I am not male and can't stand depictions of v*, so I don't see why I should be forced to sit through two hours of dreck like this when it makes me feel so tense! I won't watch anything he really wants to see because I know where it's going to go. Reading the reviews on a site like kids-in-mind usually bears this out. He claims I am being an unsupportive girlfriend because I'm not even bothering to care about the things that he likes.

Anyway, my man knows I have a phobia and he told me that he understood but that the rest of the movie was fine. I got so upset that I started sweating and shaking and my stomach was in knots. It's so unbelievably stupid. It was like I was mad at him for watching the rest of the movie. It's like he's not even allowed to like something with a graphic v* scene in it or else I'll get mad. My head knows this is definitely not a betrayal, but just the phobia doing its best to needle its way into an otherwise happy relationship.

Does anyone else deal with this irrational type of anger at others as a result of being an emet? What triggers your anger? How do you come to terms with it?
