I don’t care for science fiction or fantasy.
At the behest of my significant other, however, I have agreed to at least consider watching the most recent incarnation of the series “Dr. Who.”
My office spouse, a self-proclaimed geek, noted upon hearing this news that he had encouraged me to pay a visit to “the Doctor” many times before. But with all due respect, there are some things I’m only willing to do for one person.
Part of being in a committed relationship is sucking up things we don’t particularly enjoy because sharing a loved activity or experience would be meaningful to our partners.
In my observation, this often involves some sort of spectator sport. Especially here in the South. I’m willing to bet that some of you women cheer for a football team because your boyfriend/husband does. Call it gender stereotyping all you want, but those exist for a reason.
