I am exactly the same as you are.. so no I don't think you are over sensitive..

If the subtitles are to " much " for him could he not watch wearing a set of

earphones??

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Am I being unreasonable?

Dh and I have just had a disagreement. He, for some reason enjoys watching

documentaries (tonight was 'Hell in Japan') depicting the extremes of human

cruelty, torture and suffering. I know we shouldn't ignore what is

happening/has happened in these countries but I cannot *bear* hearing about

awful things like skin being peeled from a person or terrible, terrible

things being done to pregnant women (I'm thinking of another documentary

now, about Korea he watched a few weeks ago).

The computer is in the same room, and although it's easy to not to watch, I

can't not hear, so asked him to watch with subtitles, which he did

eventually with much complaining, and telling me I'm being oversensitive.

Is it me or are there more and more of these types of programs appearing?

Does anyone else find it unbearable to watch such things? Or is it just me?

I agree with Phyllis, you are not being unreasonable. Personally I

don't mind violent drama but I cannot bear torture. Even now, the

ending of Braveheart disturbs me. Any movie with torture in it will

have me either behind the sofa, out of the room, or turning down the

sound. My DH used to love watching what he called " a good war film " ,

until we watched Saving Private together and saw all those

dismembered bodies and heard all those tortured screams of the injured

soldiers. The old war films were so neat and tidy, there was no blood

and everyone died silently.

Hannah if I were you, I'd have a go at your DH for gross sadism :-))

O no not at all Hannah, I can't stand programme like that or scary films - when

I watched Misery and Silence of the Lambs I stayed awake all night reading as I

was so scared!!

And for the same reason I rarely watch the news as I just find that that upsets

me most of the time!

Thankfully my husband doesn't really watch that kind of programme so it's not a

problem in this house (but the same can't be said about cars, bikes and how to

make things programmes!)

Last night I was watching the programme about the murder of Bulger - it

was just so upsetting I don't know how either of the sets of parents get through

each day knowing what happened, it must be so haunting.

Thanks everyone - I've just read him some of your replies and I think he

gets it now! Although he's making fun of me now for running and moaning to

you all ;o)
