Search Results: boring boyfriend

So it's happened a few times where my boyfriend will choose a movie and I just don't get into it and end up falling asleep on the couch. I don't mean to and I do try to stay awake but sometimes the movie is just boring and not my cup of tea quite frankly.

He gets irritated with me and says that I'm not open minded enough or that how can I say the movie is boring when I fell asleep and didn't give it a real chance.

We have been together 7 months and we also live together since 2 months ago.

I try to explain to him when this happens that I am pretty much a black and white person. I either like something or I don't. He knows this about me from the beginning. I'm the same way with music and songs, I will know within seconds if I like a song or not. He is the opposite of me where he isn't as fussy and is open to a lot more genres of music and movies. Therefore he tends to give those things a bit more of a chance.
He thinks that I should at least sit through a movie with him even if I'm not enjoying it because he thinks it's a way to make an effort for him as a partner. I agree with this for other areas of interest. So for example he likes rock climbing and I've never done it before but I would be willing to give it ago and if I didn't like it I would probably only do it occasionally with him as a way of making effort in the relationship. But a movie that is boring seriously wouldn't that send anyone to sleep? Am I wrong for not trying harder with the movie thing? I mean there are lots of movies that we both like and enjoy together and we have got at least 6 Netflix TV series that we both love together so it's not as if there is nothing we can watch together. I just think it's unrealistic for him to expect me to sit through something I just dont like and then try to make me feel bad for it afterwards.
