Despite my repeated requests to be left out of her families attendance at "art" events my wife and her family continue to ignore my requests and purchase me tickets to plays and concerts which I have no interest in attending.
I literally cannot express how much I hate these events and my displeasure when I am at them is completely obvious and I don't understand why my wife continues to try to force the issue. I have tried respectfully stating "it's not my thing," "I don't find it interesting," "I'd rather stay home" but eventually two hours into it I just become angry. My wife and her family than repeatedly ask why I don't like them and act like there is something wrong with me.
The plays they go to have a leftist bend and I'm more of a right winger and that pisses me off too. All of these pompous wanna be deep people in a room acting like they are better than everyone. However, its not just that, it's just I DO NOT want to go. I have no interest in these plays and find them completely stupid and a waste of my time. They than discuss them after and get upset with me when they ask "what did you think?" and after trying to deflect the question a few times, my basic response eventually is "it was stupid." So I'm miserable at these events and I share that with them but they want me to continue to go to these events and just act like I'm enjoying it?
I understand doing things you don't like because your spouse likes them BUT this is becoming a monthly thing and I cannot take it. I also don't understand why I am required to go and why my wife can't go alone with her family.
Imagine if I liked a certain type of music they hated and every month bought them tickets and expected them to go with me? Than when they were visibly upset just ignored that or kept asking them questions acting like it is their fault.
I have tried being nice about this BUT it's really starting to touch a nerve.
