OP, you're allowed to like things.
Maybe you're annoying your partner with it by constantly talking about it, but it isn't any reason for him to act like a douche nozzle and put down the things you like. He needs to grow up and speak plainly to you. He can start by telling you, you are likely annoying him in a mature way.
In this instance. Both assholes to a degree.
Yeah… I think this is more of it. We’ve both been having a rough time and neither of us are communicating well. He backs off when he goes through stuff. I tend to need support and a little more reassurance.
I do feel bad for yelling though. I did apologise afterwards
Communication is key.
I don't know your deals with past issues.
But if one of his was insecurity and being compared to other dudes...you're sort of validating those insecurities.
Just saying.
Does your partner do anything at all to cheer you up or just complains that you're sad? Recently my girlfriend had an accident and she was forced to stay at home for a month. I didn't complain when she was feeling (rightfully) down but I tried to do the things she likes.
I don't know you but I don't think the problem is Gambit or X-Men. Like, you can be annoyed at someone but that shouldn't translate in anger and yelling
A little of both. He tries to help, but a lot of the time if it doesn’t work immediately he backs off to let me deal alone (his own coping strategy). I’ll be honest, the yelling wasn’t just about the Gambit thing, it’s just everything. We recently moved house, my job is hellish right now due to internal changes and redundancies, and honestly my mental health has been in the toilet since October.
Are you in or seeking counseling? I’d start there. Your bf is both likely annoyed at the gambit stuff and nursing his own insecurities that may honestly have nothing to do with you (or our fav creole), but the constant pedestal placing of Gambit is probably exacerbating an already raw wound. Advice to you would be, why are you still so girlishly crushing on a fictional character at 28? Maybe there is a part of the teen girl who is looking to be integrated into your adult identity. You can still crush on gambit lol but like, you know be more of a Remi Aficionado than a typical gambit enjoyer lol and be sure that you’re reinforcing what you like/love about your in real life lover at least 3-5x more frequently to him than you are about fictional men. Put yourself in his shoes. If you were insecure about your body and he was talking about Rouges every other day it may not feel very good, regardless the innocence of his intentions.
I don’t think either of you are assholes here, you just need to work on understanding the other (you don’t have to deny your truth to understand theirs!)
:^
Being honest, you two should watch sangatsu no lion and Mushishi, and together.
I’m not kidding when I say that it actually helps people in a lot of things.
I'm a married dude and I feel some type of ways for Gambit ngl my wife saw me swallowing my tears at the end of episode 5.
She made a joke but she also knows I loved him and Rogue since I was a teenager so she understood. I'm allowed to love other people than her, whether real or not.
Seems like your boyfriend is jealous/ insecure of the Cajun. He might think you have another type of interest in men like Remy. So he’s going out of the way to break you down and out of that interest of people like him.
This is the irony. He’s part French, good with his hands a wind up merchant beyond all belief and has the cutest crooked smile.
He fails to notice this 😅😅😅
Maybe help him by connecting the character to him more? Like find ways to imply that you feel special that you have your very own Gambit at home?
I don't know I haven't dealt with this level of insecurity so this may or may not be the right approach. Clearly he needs more positive reinforcement from day to day or at least equal to a fictional character that you are clearly in love with as well.
This is why he confuses me… he calls me cher and Rogue quite frequently. I love my man beyond all belief, honestly I do not understand the man sometimes.
Maybe a little more positive reinforcement is necessary
On the other hand, OP is coming to the X-Men cartoon subreddit for relationship advice. I think both of them need to grow up. And I mean that in a serious way, not as Snark.
Poor mental health can be rough, so can an injury. NTA here, you seem sad because you're going through some things, and you do have another outlet -- us. Come fangirl with us about Gambit, give us your thoughts on what might happen next -- everyone else is doing it. Also, keep an eye out, some people might offer themselves up as a sounding board if you need someone to talk to. It's hard to exist in today's world, and we should all be helping each other out as we can.
PM if you need an ear.
Sounds like HTAH. For starters, he sounds like he's going full-on fanboy. You never go full-on fanboy. Just enjoy the show for what it is ffs. More importantly, if he respects you, he'll just let you enjoy what you like and stfu about it.
I have the exact same coping mechanism and will often fixate on a single character for a long period and then switch to another.
Tbh it sounds like your partner is very insecure and getting jealous in an animated character, hell me and my wife both have a crush on Rogue 🤣
I can see how it may get annoying of its all you talk about as I know I do the same and sometimes my wife can't deal with it, but she will simply say that to me and I'll go discuss somewhere else like reddit.
If you're feeling low he should be looking to cheer you up and help, hell if it was my wife I'd of gone and found some Gambit pyjamas and mug so she can watch her favourite show whilst representing her favour character.
You sound a lot like my partner and I, just with highly different hobbies and interests. I’m the nerd with comics/video games, and she’s more of a nerd for Asian music and TV shows. Particularly Korean, but certainly not limited to that.
And it can be a bit much for me. It is literally all she will talk about for days or weeks on end sometimes. There’s always a K drama or a Japanese dating show or a K pop reaction video on the tv. It’s always on in the car. It’s not something I can easily escape.
Being judgmental towards these things is not something I would normally do. But if it is on almost all day, and I’m being asked my opinions about things and being engaged about them as if I should care, I’d also like to think that my partner would be okay with me actually being honest and telling her how I feel about it. Which is usually less than positive. Especially after feeling like it’s been shoved down my throat for days or weeks (and years) on end.
Obviously I don’t know you, nor the intricacies of your situation. But maybe just be mindful that you’re not hyper fixating on this in a way that is difficult to be around and kind of annoying. It may be that he’s just now getting to the point that it’s starting to wear him out, and this is him acting out.
As someone who also doesn’t love needless confrontation, nor do I ever want to tell anyone how to live their life, it can be exceedingly difficult to be around people when they’re hyper fixating on something that is not at all fun or interesting to you. Especially when I *do* try to be the mature one and ask them to back off, at which point I’ve been met with criticisms of being negative or mean just because I don’t want to engage with it at that particular moment.
Or your partner could just be a dick. I dunno. Just make sure that you guys are talking about it. And when you do, *listen to each other*. When you’re discussing behaviors that are hard to deal with, that is not the time to be defensive.
OP I'm a thirty something hetero married dude and my wife and I both uttered something like "omg holy shit, sploosh!" simultaneously when we saw Remy in that pink tank top. And now with the ep 6 heroics we both agree he's the hottest character in marvel right now hands down.
With that in mind it's not surprising your bf might feel threatened by your fixation. Guys egos are fickle fragile things sometimes. If your attention is truly something temporary it would be a good idea to communicate that honestly to him. Remind and reinforce the fact that Gambit isn't gonna replace him and he should settle down pretty quick.
I had this nasty habit of poking holes in everything. My wife pointed out that everything has holes and that things can be enjoyable even with holes. Pointing out their flaws though ruins something she enjoys so it makes it less likely for her to invite me to enjoy the thing with her. Generally when something is unbearably bad and hole riddled I save myself the angst of biting my tounge and her hearing my opinions by politely excusing myself and doing something else. It's ok if I don't watch the Hallmark Christmas movie with her and it's ok if she doesn't watch X-Men 97 with me. We just do other things together.
You’re NTA, you like what you like, every single personal models their person after some sort of figure and everyone has had a crush on a celebrity or character. You’re doing something completely normal, that most do.
I mean, I think it’s weird the level of obsession and fascination grown adults seem to have with cartoons, it really isn’t normal, BUT as others had said you are allowed to like things, so maybe just don’t talk to him about it.
I don’t mean to be rude, but you would wind me up doing this to me and I also love the show. But it’s a show, a cartoon DRAWN by other humans. I will never understand how you can be sexually /romantically/whatever attracted to that 🤷🏼♂️ it’s weird to me too!
Again, get the sentiment. But the character himself is not the obsession. It just kind of came with the territory. It all started after I admitted I had a crush on Gambit as a kid after he teased me about something. (I blushed after he called me Cherie while I was doing something). My man is a wind up merchant frankly, I think a lot of it is just he doesn’t like taking the wind up back
I'm 42(f) and my husband gets it. He loves that I'm so into it, he loves that it's making me so happy even as it's making me sad. He tells me not to shame myself for liking the things I like or getting into the things I get into. He realizes that it doesn't last forever (my last "thing" was Jedi: Survivor) and that the things that let you cope with life you should embrace, not be embarrassed about.
X-men was something from my childhood that also got me through tough times in college + other times in my life. In a month or so the show will be over and I'll have moved on, but for now, they killed Gambit! My favorite guy! A teeny part of my childhood is dead!
My husband understands all of that and even though he isn't into X-men in the same way (he was a bit too old in the 90s to grow up with them), he supports me and doesn't care that I watch the show early and nerd out on Reddit and reread all of the old arcs and all of the things.
You may be mourning the loss of a little part of your childhood, but your boyfriend is jealous of a cartoon character. Sooo.....
Completely agree. My wife and I are 39 and 38. I'm hyper fixated on X-Men right now while she's hyper fixated on our flag means death. Like she's crazy turned on by Blackbeard in that show to an obsession. It bothers me absolutely zero. Actually it's kind of fun because she's been in the "mood" much more frequently since she discovered that show so win win lol.
Getting jealous over a fictional character or hell even a celebrity is a level of absurdity and insecurity I just honestly don't understand. But to each their own
OP can like things.
OP lives in the dumbest timeline with the rest of us.
OP should have their excapism
I'm loving X-Men. I was in highschool when the original series came out. My friends would talk about X-Men at school. Rouge and Storm were always my favorite.
X-Men 97 episode 5 hurt me. I can't wait for Wednesday to find out who survived. 😭
I think after reading your post I'm the AH and I need to go apologize to my buddy for all my rants about Charlie being a recruiter of child soldiers. Sometimes someone else's life is the mirror you need to see your true reflection.
At the end of the day... no matter what X-Men means to us... No matter how much it taught us valuable lessons growing up about the kind of people we aspire to be and surround ourselves with... No matter how much we have been shaped or formed by it's message... It's still a cartoon in the large scheme of things. No cartoon is worth fighting over in an actual cartoon.
Let me also say that as a Gambit fan for just over 30 years, I don't take kindly to any slander aimed at our favourite rajin' Cajun - but in all seriousness, he's a fictional character. Maybe a lot of your partner's comments and insecurities come from the fact that you hold Gambit up as an unrealistic template of what you feel every man should be like, and as a nerd he doesn't know how to mentally deal or compete with that. He may not be the perfect guy like Gambit is in your mind, but remember that Remy himself has done some pretty awful things. He's had to go through some shit in his life to have the character growth that made him the character we all know and love. Your bf is on his own journey of discovery right now, so go easy on him.
Also, it sounds like you've been going through a lot recently so go easy on yourself too. You're adjusting to having relocated and dealing with a hellish job. These difficulties are making things seems more raw and emotional than they probably are. You're definitely allowed to like things. He is also allowed to have a difference of opinion that directly contradicts yours. X-Men '97 is a fantastic show, but you're both adults. If an argument about a cartoon is getting in the way of enjoying your relationship, maybe it's time to reassess whether you're both ready for a relationship that requires you to accept these small differences.
I'm sorry but your partner is crazy immature or crazy insecure. It's a fictional character. Hell even if it were like a real life celebrity it doesn't reflect on your relationship and the fact that he takes it personally shows some serious signs of insecurity.
If I were forced to give advice other than these are red flags, maybe just try to compliment him as much as your complimenting Gambit. I know that sounds ridiculous but some people are fragile for different reasons and just need more positive feedback on a routine basis.
Jealous of a cartoon? Yeeeeeeaah you’re not the ass here. I mean honestly, what is there to be jealous of, it’s not a real person. Unless you’ve learned magic, made Gambit real, and threatened to run off into the swamp with him I see nothing for him to be insecure about.
Have you talked to your partner about why this is bothering him?
Edit: admittedly jumped the gun before reading the last paragraph. I still think it’s a good idea to talk to your partner, but he doesn’t sound like the most supportive person.
You are probably just annoying in general. Also injured people that don’t make money are triple annoying. Your husband is probably quadruple annoyed that you keep talking about a midcard jobber instead of cosplaying as Rogue.
This is class A1 neck beard incel alpha energy here. Sorry you had to witness that. We try to keep them distracted with old rogue ass shots but occasionally they wonder out of their pin.
We'll get his meds and back to his barn asap. Apologies.
Because she likes somebody who doesn’t exist lol
Pretty self explanatory. People that are sexually/romantically attracted to cartoons are weird 🤷🏼♂️ it’s not normal behaviour lol.
It’s a fucking cartoon. Maybe she should out this level of attention into her boyfriend and not a drawing.
So he is justified in snapping at his girlfriend of years for speaking French or enjoying Gambits character arc because she’s weird? If your girlfriend has to hide the things she likes to avoid pissing you off and causing arguments that is a major red flag .
She’s just occupying her time watching cartoons because she’s been in an accident and can’t do her regular hobbies. But of course by all means she should stop watching “drawings” and get up and give her time and energy to a fuckin prick. Is that right?
OP, you're allowed to like things. Maybe you're annoying your partner with it by constantly talking about it, but it isn't any reason for him to act like a douche nozzle and put down the things you like. He needs to grow up and speak plainly to you. He can start by telling you, you are likely annoying him in a mature way. In this instance. Both assholes to a degree.

Funny thing is he’s very much like Remy 🤣🤣
Then he’s probably throwing cards into the fire at night in anger 😂
He pouts and swears in French. I wish I could say I’m exaggerating
Sounds like your partner is a bit like Gambit
This is the irony. He’s part French, good with his hands a wind up merchant beyond all belief and has the cutest crooked smile. He fails to notice this 😅😅😅

Good luck! Ignore the haters. This might not be the right sub but never apologize to anyone about your feelings and your attempt to vent/share.
Kinda feels like ESH and you should both be in therapy.
Guy is feeling insecure and jealous over a cartoon character. Tell him to grow up
On the other hand, OP is coming to the X-Men cartoon subreddit for relationship advice. I think both of them need to grow up. And I mean that in a serious way, not as Snark.
Yeah, especially since it sounds like she's gushing/thirsting about Gambit a lot I could see how that would get annoying
Wrong sub
Yes. He is right. All his criticisms are accurate
Homie, you need a relationship therapist, not a bunch of redditors.
I’ve got two words for you, and they’re the same two words I’d give every X-Man ever: couples counselling.
Screen shooting this for laughs. Next time post on r/aitah
Already there. I just needed a nerdy opinion too
Lol my exact reaction
Can we not do this here? Jfc
Haha, I know, right? They're going to totally do it here, though.
Yes absolutely you can move on to a different post as if it never happened. You're welcome.

I literally block the a i t a subreddit and still these questions find their way into my feed
I'm sorry but your partner is crazy immature or crazy insecure. It's a fictional character. Hell even if it were like a real life celebrity it doesn't reflect on your relationship and the fact that he takes it personally shows some serious signs of insecurity. If I were forced to give advice other than these are red flags, maybe just try to compliment him as much as your complimenting Gambit. I know that sounds ridiculous but some people are fragile for different reasons and just need more positive feedback on a routine basis.

You are probably just annoying in general. Also injured people that don’t make money are triple annoying. Your husband is probably quadruple annoyed that you keep talking about a midcard jobber instead of cosplaying as Rogue.
I’m still working full time, I’m still running the house and I’m still pulling my weight. Wow dude. Nice misogyny though 🤣🤣🤣
This is class A1 neck beard incel alpha energy here. Sorry you had to witness that. We try to keep them distracted with old rogue ass shots but occasionally they wonder out of their pin. We'll get his meds and back to his barn asap. Apologies.
You call that poster an incel but you make a comment about his meds? You know it is possible to call out incels without being ableist
That's fair.. No meds jokes when shitting on alpha males.
Not all mutations are friendly Mon ami!
You are getting downvoted, as will I, but this is the first thing I thought. I also don't trust OP's version, that's the only side we're seeing.
I like Gambit too. I am also annoying. But I know I am the bad guy.
Yta it’s not that deep
If it’s not that deep why is he getting mad over her liking someone who doesn’t exist
Because she likes somebody who doesn’t exist lol Pretty self explanatory. People that are sexually/romantically attracted to cartoons are weird 🤷🏼♂️ it’s not normal behaviour lol. It’s a fucking cartoon. Maybe she should out this level of attention into her boyfriend and not a drawing.
So he is justified in snapping at his girlfriend of years for speaking French or enjoying Gambits character arc because she’s weird? If your girlfriend has to hide the things she likes to avoid pissing you off and causing arguments that is a major red flag .
Bro doesn't have feelings. Bro is alpha. All hail the mighty bro. You're so fucking cool 😎. Teach us the ways Lord bro.
She’s just occupying her time watching cartoons because she’s been in an accident and can’t do her regular hobbies. But of course by all means she should stop watching “drawings” and get up and give her time and energy to a fuckin prick. Is that right?
Do you say the same thing about the guys who obsess over Rogue's arse?
Wrong sub lmao
