7. Their Taste in Music
How can they listen to country when you love rock? How can you stomach their preference for hip-hop when you only listen to pop? These questions don’t just apply to music but to most other forms of entertainment as well, like television shows, movies, and even video games. While yeah, it would be great if you could get a new concert buddy out of a relationship, you have to understand that this isn’t always the case. The least that you can do is try to introduce each other to your favorite bands and artists, but if that doesn’t take, then you really have to let it go.
Just like with food, you two can compromise. If you’re driving, you control what’s on the radio or your iPod, and the same goes for when they’re in charge of the trips. You can certainly invite them to that huge concert coming up in a month, but make sure that you don’t drag them along unwillingly. While you may never be able to get over your seething hatred of country music, at least if you hear a song, it’ll remind you of your boyfriend or girlfriend, and that’s not all bad.
