    Almost like most people are willing to watch things our partners want to show us because we care about them. Hm.

      I don’t like all the videos of “red flag vs green flag” and “AITA” posts my wife shows me.

      She doesn’t like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

      We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

      Crazy how couples work out like that!

        I don’t understand why you’d send them to eachother if you both know the other doesn’t like them. Like, what? I’m happily married and me and my partner send videos specifically because we either think the other would like them or want to make the other groan at a bad joke.

      And you can then have a conversation, with a person you like. I don’t know how to crochet but I know the difference between a single and a double and I can read the recipe.

        Yeah! I love it when my partner shows me his interests. We once got sucked into watching an hour long video on different types of sourdough bread. It was fun!
