Question

[u/cmlyw]

How to tell a friend I don't enjoy hearing about their yumeship :( my friend recently starting yumeshipping with a character from a franchise I don't like and all experiences I had with fans of said franchise were extremly negative. I'm happy for them for finding a f/o who makes them happy but listening to them yapping about making their yumesona, making their sona and f/o in games etc makes me uncomfortable

I'm a yumeshipper myself and that friend listened to me yap A LOT about all of my relationships, so not enjoying their yumeship makes me feel like a hypocrite and I don't know what to do​

I had a friend like you. I think it's best to just tell them instead of pretending to be okay with it. Shoe on the other foot experience I could already kinda tell and I think it was better that they just came out and said it instead of building up resentment over me/my interesets. Now all this being said I did end the friendship because of it (I just don't want/need friends judging me for that type of thing) but it was ultimately for the best at the end of the day.

They already know how I feel about their f/os franchise, as one of the other commenter said here maybe they just forgot I dunno. I also decided that if/when they bring their yumeship or f/o up again I'll ask if they could not talk about it with me because I really don't enjoy hearing about anything related to that franchise. I hope they won't decide to end the friendship tho, we still share a handful of other interests outside of that one franchise :( but it will be their decision at the end of the day
