Anime VS Relationships

I actually got ditched this year because of Anime Expo 2005.

My ex-gf wasnt into anime, and I told her i booked the hotel and stuff like a month in advance, she didnt wanna go, so i just got some friends to take her place instead to ease the bill of the hotel and what not, so i wouldnt have to pay so much.

Well anyways she got all mad and told me not to go. She told me it was either stay there with her or go there to AX. And I choose AX.

Let me explain before everyone starts to flame me, the hotel and everything (tickets) were all under my name and credit card, and it was way too late to switch everything around to someone else. I'd also like to state that gf/bf there are always going to be others, if that person cant accept your hobbies than that obviously isnt meant to be.

If that person cared about you they wouldnt ask you to give up something that you enjoyed so much. I told her exactly how i felt about anime when we first got together and she accepted it. Besides, it would be like me telling her to stop shopping so much or something like that.

wow so what were her reasons for not going? was it a bad breakup?

She just didnt like anime, and she wasnt going to spend 5 days at a convention where she wasnt having fun. Oh and she wanted to spend the 4th of july somewhere nice with fireworks, which Anime Expo had, right next to Disneyland, dont get too much better than that. Disneyland has some of the best fireworks.

But the break up was pretty bad. I was getting IM's from like 10000 people i didnt know, yelling at me and stuff. Umm but like I said before nobody has the right to tell someone else to stop doing something they like. And I like anime, nobody can tell me to stop watching it or whatever. I mean there will always be other girls. Hopefully the next one i get with likes anime as much as I do.

heres my opinion...I LOVE ANIME....ive loved it before I even knew my husband...in fact the first anime i watched was sailor moon and i was infatuated with Tuxedo Mask...funny thing is when i met my hubby his attitude was so similar and of course he was tall dark and handsome (chinese) which was a bonus...he isnt into anime like I am but I know my limits. IF I thought he didnt like it I wouldnt force him to go to the convention if there was one but I would ask first...if he said yes then got pissy at the last second then yea id be pissed off too. I agree you have to find someone that lets you have your own little world as long as you dont try to engulf them in it too...plus getting someone who is as into it as you is a bonus......ive made my hubby like anime a lil more then he did before HA HA.
My friend however, her bf just leaves the room and watches anime, doesnt check up on her or nothing, just leaves...i think he is a ditcher!! THEY live together TOO

LOL

anyhow thats just my speel

FallingAngel: Breaking up with her was probably the healthier choice. From what you sid I think that she didn't really like you because it is not like you had an absurd obsession with anime. You only wanted to have a good time for a couple of days and have her involved in it too. She hated the idea although there was nothing unreasonable about it and you DID try to include her. Too bad for her. Sometimes if you really like someone you learn to put up with the stuff you don't like about them. From what I gather it is not like your enitre life revolved around anime, and yet she was unable to put up with a hobby that has nothing wrong about it. Too bad for her. I'm sorry the breakup was hard, but in the long run you're better off without her. Even if the next one is not into anime she should take a more reasonable stand about what you like.

Now KaTTnypp's friend is something else. This guy should really start paying more attention to her, otherwise he's gonna lose her... Seriously, what's wrong with him? it is not like he has to stop watching anime, but just try to balance it out with his relationship. What is more important to him? and even if both are equally important (?), it doesn't look like he cares. Have they talked about it? That should be the first step in solving their problems.

Sigh... Some people are just weird...

A lot of people just dont get why we like anime so much. I mean I love my anime, but its not like I dont like going out and having fun doing other things. I mean I like doing normal things too. Its just dont try to come between me and anime. Its a battle that no one can win. And of course I aint gonna force you to like it just because I like it, but at least accept it.

I'm sure there are some people who would agree with me on this, but the only way I'm going to stop watching anime is if someone ripped my eyes out and popped my eardrums. I mean for me anime is something that relaxs me in any situtation. No matter what mood someone is in, turn on an anime and bam.

Anime should not effect personal life...
when we come to a point where people are beeing ditched by their boyfriend/girlfriend..thats just simply wromg Smile

Well their should be a line between hobby and rest of life.

But sugnificant other should accept that their is a life outside of the relationship, thought if bf/gf talks too much bout stuff like hentai or who hottest girl/guy in anime is, then you should get worried.
