Last night when I got home my wife was watching some period romance movie that TiVo picked up for her. I went about doing dishes and making dinner since I didn’t really want to watch it.
After the movie was over, she tuned the TV over to Animal Planet and was watching a show about lions eating other, slower creatures, during which time she mostly averted her eyes. I was laughing, and she responded “I know it happens, I’d just rather not watch it.”
I told her “I feel the same way about romance movies.”
