| Dude get her to watch Pingu in the City or Pop team epic lol |

| You only showed to her Thriller and psychological/dementia stuff...and Mirai Nikki. Show her some moe or something |
 |
| It sounds like she either wants more attention (and you'd have to be the judge whether you're giving her enough) or she's playing a game of trying to make you show you love her by giving up a hobby you love. Either is a relationship issue that should be addressed, and it's quite possible the only real solution is, as many here have suggested, to break up. There are plenty of other girls who love anime. |

| A girlfriend who doesn't like your hobbies is a muppet, but a girlfriend who is telling you to stop your hobbies is an absolute muppet. |
| Breakup with her. Probably cheating on you with a normie loser anyway. Reminds me of this video |

| Bro, you need to stop watching cartoons. She wants the dick not some fag who watches cartoon. |
| Three words of advice man: "ditch the bitch". A real woman who loved you would be accepting of your interests. |

If shes demanding you to stop your hobbies then leave her. If she's just expressing dislike then whatever that'll just be something you two don't share (I'm sure shes into things you aren't as well). |

| I think the general consensus is, break up with her. Frankly, for your own sake, break it off before she breaks it off with you. And if she tries to shame you by telling people about your hobbies, just don't give a damn. Not giving a damn is the most POWERFUL thing you can do. It is easier said than done but trust me, you'll be far, far better off if you just don't give a damn about the potential social fallout. In fact, the fallout will help you weed out who your true friends are. Toleavero said: Are you forcing your hobby onto her? If so, stop. Not all couples have to be into the same stuff. We are defined by your differences, and people love each other because of how they are different. If you want to love someone who's the same as you, then I think you need to reconsider a few things. Even if you aren't , if she thinks you need to "grow up" and can't accept your hobby, then please get yourself out of that toxic relationship. You know what you like and who you are and own it. That's what maturity is. You don't need to grow up and if she thinks otherwise then I don't think she's that great of a person at heart. Sound advice all around. hibadaddy said: 100% fuck her dad and show her who is boss. This threw me into paroxysms of laughter. |
| Break up with her cause if she isn't respecting your hobbies and putting you down for something that makes you happy then get out of the relationship. |

| Find out where shes storing your balls, retrieve them and then slap her across the face with them... Figuratively, dont literally slap her in the face with them... Unless shes into that kind of thing. Seriously one of my close friends gave up video games to please his nagging wife and he was unhappy and divorced her within a year. By the same token dont force anime onto someone who doesnt like it, respect her tastes but ask her respect yours in return. |

| Your first mistake is to have real woman as a girlfriend, OP |
 |
| you should let her watch romance shows instead, I think she'll appreciate those more than those you let her watch those usually hook a lot of casual viewers. Something like Kimi no na Wa or Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso are some examples |

| @Alioune What does your girlfriend usually watch? Also break up with her. |
| Show her obligatory LoGH. She will certainly like the yaoi space opera drama. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| You know what's really "for children"? Judging people by their interests and trying to control the hobbys of your romantic partner. This is a huge red flag, either stand up for yourself, leave this person or get ready for more controlling behavior. |
| Those anime are all kinda dark, maybe you should just watch them without her if she's not into them. |
NoiceMeme said: Fvlminatvs said: If she's giving him an ultimatum, "Stop watching anime or we're through," what else is he supposed to do? I don't recall him mentioning this, that would be an instant ditch of course. But unless she goes full "me or anime" there is no reason to take it to extremes. But well it's already a sign given that his girlfriend is preventing what his boyfriend(OP) likes, which that's a downer and I feel sorry for OP that he found a girlfriend that unfortunately can't be into his hobbies. Yes it's true that it's stupid to break up with her easily. The only best option now for OP is to watch anime in secret instead. |

| after many relationships, cheating yada yada i will say this as an grown ass man. I would chose a single life with friends and stay true to myself and what i like any day then change myself to fit a partner that can´t accept me for what i do/like. A partner should only be a complement to your great life not something that you need to have to love yourself. If I die without a wife it´s not the end of the world. I can be happy anyways. To many people stays in bad relationships because only one reason. You can´t find the love and respect for yourself and be happy without a partner. Love and stay true to good friends. Because they are the most important in your life as you get older. Partners comes and go in any age (hopefully a good one will stay that accept you). But if you lose real friends as an adult. they are gone and you will have more problem to find new one then a new partner. |

| I'm not sure in what universe any of those shows are for children...Would not want to meet those children. Anyway, I see several things wrong with this. First, your girlfriend was pretty disrespectful to you in saying that, but it also kinda sounds like you're pushing her to like anime. She may get into different kinds of shows. Or she may not like anime at all. Both are fine. Surely you have other things in common. But just from the sounds of this post, I'd say mutual respect and understanding should be worked on. |
 |
| eh, why does she? are you like making her watch what you like? or is she against you having anime as a hobby in general? |
 |
| Only thing that is important is that she accepts that you watch anime for your self without looking down on you. None of my girlfriends didn´t like anime and I didn´t force them to watch either. Only rule was that i was not need to be "forced" to watch her shows with her. if a Partner only want you to watch her things but she not want to try yours then it´s a no. |
| If she can't accept you watching something you enjoy, drop her. That's a sign of a bad future in the relationship. She sounds egocentric and like she wants to force her way of thinking onto you. That's really dangerous. Make the call yourself, but she doesn't really sound like such a loving person. Then again, I don't know the whole story. |

Once you realize that what others think about what you enjoy doesn't matter, you will finally be free |
| wtf man? she thinks anime is only for children? Pffffffffffffff..just show her these |
ClickBaitBusterJan 17, 2018 6:30 AM
| Don't force her to like Animes because not everybody needs to like Animes. I don't really understand why she call them ''for kids'' anyway because she have seen more brutal and serious Anime. That's just... I don't know how to describe it. But seriously... It's not nice from her to judge your own interests. If you like Animes... that's your own thing and she shouldn't say anything against it. In a relationship you should try to accept each others interests. You don't have to like the same stuff but at least tolerate it. |

 I will not believe that everything is controlled by fate. ll X ll |
| You both are pushing your preferences on each other, which is not good. Just as you don't really have the right to force her to get interested in what she's not interested, she's also not right for dictating you what to watch and enjoy. You should talk about that, omit the anime matter all together (she watches what she likes, you watch your anime) and instead concentrate on the inerests that you both share. |
| Play anime in the background when she's sleeping and her sub-conscious will absorb it and by the morning she'll have finished thousands of anime and hentai |
| If you can't change the girl,then change the girl :-P |

| Umm, you are having her watch things that are shonen. Try Yuri on Ice.... Try Gravitation. Try Sailor Moon. Try ghibli movies. If you are going to do shonen, do Inuyasha. Geez. |

Turtles_Hunter said: Alioune said: Maybe because even if good, most of them are not for everyone. Evangelion has a lot of awkward teenage moment during his first part. You know those, I wouldn't want my parent to see me watch that moment, they wouldn't believe me. Mirai Nikki is Just edgy, Stein;gate is slowpaced at the begining, Death Note feature a mc that has the empathy of a robot. FMA was a good choice to show to a someone against anime though. I tried to show her the best anime I knew... I let her watching Evangelion, Steins;Gate, Mirai Nikki, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note... but she dropped every single one of them after 7-8 episodes saying they are boring, bullshit for childrens and that I have to grow up... what can I do? But you took the problem the wrong way. Search for an anime depending of her taste. What did she likes? What kind of movie/series are her favourite. From that pick something htat she might like. That would be a better question to ask. Anime is just a medium, and not a genre. Chiibi said: Maybe the problem is that those stay home and watch anime.That's why he should dump her; she's obviously an idiot. :/ Just find a girl who LIKES anime there are tons of us. I agree. I am someone who loved scifi and old movies in live action, and I like it in anime as well. However, I think he would have better luck with something like Gravitation or Yuri on Ice. Girls like gay. These are facts. I mean, I think he would do better showing her Free! Evangelion is like... very otaku... Natsume is also fairly popular. Kids on the Slope. Polar Bear Cafe. |

| Hire an assassin or kill her yourself. |

| Just say "I watch what I want to watch, you can watch what you want to watch". If she doesn't like that, then she's bad news, people shouldn't want to control the TV that other people watch. Controlling personalities like that should be avoided. |
| Most of my women friends are like this: Star wars, marvel and anime are for nerds and geeks. They all LOVE Harry potter and thinks one of the best movie series ever. says it all ;) |

That's just from personal experience. o_o |
|
| Maybe she just doesn't want to watch anime? Your hobby doesn't define who you are and you don't have to spend all of your leisure time with your girlfriend. Also how is it you've been on this site for over 2 years yet haven't added anything to your list? |

Anime, star wars are not if you are not a nerd :P And cat filter on snapchat is okay to because everybody else do it. |

She is not your mom and shouldn't tell what you have to do. If she can't respect this basic minimum of respecting each others' interest, she is not worth your time . |
