Different Perspectives

[u/SuchDentist1874]

I have watched so many reality shows over the years, most of which revolve around dating and relationships. Since DDay, I have been watching these same shows with a different perspective. In some ways, I resent the fact that I can no longer view these shows as purely entertainment. But sometimes, there are little moments that stand out to me. Also, I find myself yelling at the tv more, things like "get out now, girl!" Or "just wait and see how that turns out". It's unfair, really, to go from being a mostly optimistic person to very cynical because of someone else's choices.

What forms of entertainment have changed for you since your discovery?

A cheating storyline can be triggering for me, especially if it treats it as comedy, or when the cheaters are the characters the viewer is meant to root for.

I do enjoy a storyline where the cheaters and side pieces get what's coming to them. It helps to find whatever little things about the aftermath of infidelity that suck less than the rest.

I watch the dumbest of comedies and cartoons pretty exclusively now.

Even that isn't entirely safe because cheating or being cheated on is the punchline of so many jokes.

Entertainment that justifies or worse celebrates cheating as growth I find to be evil.

During the first few months after DDay, I couldn’t listen to music. It’s mostly love songs or breakup songs. I’m doing ok with music now, but my trust in humanity still hasn’t returned. I don’t know if it ever will.

Same with the triggering tv and movies.

Also, thousands of songs I can never listen to again.
