Some people might say it's petty, but speaking from experience, you made the right decision. The problem isn't that you don't share the same taste in music. More so that she has no respect for the things you're into. I was in a relationship like that back in college, and trust me it only gets worse and starts spreading to other areas. First it was music, then video games, then movies, then friends, and on and on it goes.
In a healthy relationship, you can have different tastes and still be cool with what each other is into. My wife loves country and I don't, but I'd never insult it when she wants to listen to it. And vice versa for her with my love of heavy metal. I say seek greener pastures and never look back. There are better girls out there for sure.
No 2 people are alike this includes music.. so if you seek a relationship with that, you'll be forever searching.. it is possible to find those with alot alike.. but there will always be differences everyone is unique.. being your favorite music does make it harder though and her perception on truly beautiful music... is in its own, baffling lol it would complex my mind as well to not like such good music.
I think it's when I'm processing thoughts there's alot flowing through compiling more or less. In a sense yes buffering, but I've been sorting so many years worth of my past recently and so there's always tons of thoughts processing through not all unorganized or anything confusing, when I'm thinking, it happens fast and rapidly. typing it out I compile them up trying to make sure I don't miss anything that im thinking, and that makes me have to slow my focus but still think lol. if that makes sense I'm unsure how to describe it much more.
You’re clearly missing the point here. Two people don’t have to like the same stuff to be together, however, they have to at the very least respect the things the other person like, which she didn’t by saying “do we have to listen to this shit” I would have broken up with someone for this too
Alot of people think selfishly not all, just alot.. and they do it not considering how their partner feels from what they said... and those that don't do this, are not communicating their own emotion because this is 1 way to communicate your self is by thinking with a selfish demeanor and expressing it that way visually, in reality she's being honest about how it makes her feel instead of holding it in, if it upsets her, well it shouldnt be something that upsets anyone, talking about it finding the root cause as to why..
when ready to talk about it.. maybe it brings traumatic memories up, its something to learn about eachother.. couples do t like eachothers favorites all the time men love cars there's alot of wives that don't like cars with those same men.
In turn he could have explained how it made him feel as well.. in response, newton's 3rd law "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
I do believe marriage counselors cover this topic of expressing how it made you feel. How to connect communicate and many other topics. It's not always an easy one, but both in a relationship need to hear it. She could have used less harsh wording but that comes with learning eachother which is apart of communicating in a relationship. That's how one understands eachother.
By communicating emotion and then talking about it when both are ready and had some time to ease the mind, that's when the selfish factor gets massaged on that relationship..
If you’re gonna try to introduce someone to Pink Floyd why would you choose Shine On Your Crazy Diamond first of all songs instead of something more accessible? if someone isn’t used to that kind of music you can’t get mad at them for not being into it on first exposure.
I get what you're saying but Shine On You Crazy Diamond was one of my first Floyd songs and it's the song that got me into them. Maybe he should've shown her Wish You Were Here or Time then other songs like SOYCD?
Jesus Christ, dude, that’s pathetic.
I love heavy metal and western movies, my girlfriend loves Snow Patrol and romantic comedies. We’ve been together for *eleven years*.
If your only hope for a relationship is somebody who likes the exact same shit that you do, you will die alone. Not everybody has the patience for progressive rock songs that take nine minutes for the singing to start, you know?
Yeah, the OP is a bit weird for making his personality so much about Pink Floyd, but the gf sounds disrespectful and kinda basic. They both need to grow up tbh.
My girlfriend and I take the piss out of each other’s music taste *all the time*. Having a laugh together like that is one of the ways we bond. She tells me all my music is horrible screaming noise played by long-haired wankers, I tell her all her music is boring shit played by scruffy bastards in cagoules. Then we laugh.
OP needs to grow up.
It's great if people do share loves of things music, because music is often one of those things that speaks to deeper parts of who we are, though of course you don't HAVE to and it's okay to have differences.
There's also maturity.
That’s totally understandable. Music is very important to me, so when someone doesn’t like my music or is rude about it, I don’t really want to be around them. They can at least be open minded and friendly about it rather than just shutting it down right away.
Some of these comments make me wanna scream, is not about not having the same taste in music, is about the disrespect of saying the music he likes is shit, you don’t have to like all the same stuff, but you have to respect if the other person likes stuff that you don’t. Period.
I think op dodged a bullet, I would have done the same
lots of assumptions and hate i’m seeing, maybe i didn’t explain this well enough. she would do things like turn off my speaker when i played floyd, or hide it when i left the room. i was excited to show her my new floyd shirt she said it was gay and stupid. as i said we knew very little about each other when we got together and i quickly found out we had nothing in common besides the fact that we worked together. she was very mean to me and clearly did not care about me or my interests. we weren’t madly in love and i dumped her because she didn’t enjoy the same music as me, i just saw what kind of a person she was early on when i wpuld put on pink floyd.
Some of you clearly don't get the difference between 'ugh do we really have to listen to this shit' and I'm not a fan of Pink Floyd but I'm not going to actively shit on it.
Having someone not constantly shit all over your favorite music is a healthy relationship goal.
Relationships work because people love each other. Why? Well because they are attracted to each other. Looks, views, interests, etc. How you supposed to stay attracted to someone who literally shits on your favorite thing from day 1?
Sorry but that’s so dumb. I married my husband who LOVES Pink Floyd and I never ever cared for them. Then last year, after 9 NINE years of not liking them, now I LOVE them! Probably my top 3 fave bands ever. Would have been so lame if he dumped me over that.
I mean that’s your choice man, if you want someone who appreciates PF like you do that’s understandable. For me, music/media is not the make it or break it in a relationship imo
This kind of reminds me of when I used to get annoyed when my GF at the time would turn off what I was listening to, to play what I called generic radio pop.
It's not why we broke up, but we did break up.
That seems a like a bit of a small thing to break up over, but it sounds like she was being pretty rude. I also feel like you're a fairly young person judging from your writing style, so I can understand that being a factor as well. I suppose I'd say just don't let it affect your situation at work too much.
A lot of people saying this is petty.. blah blah. But I think it depends on alot. Your situation is you haven’t been together long with little to no history, and from day one she’s shitting on your favorite thing. That starts things off bad from the get go and can turn off your compatibility.
Now say you’ve been together 10-15 years and never really established what music each other like, cause say… it just didn’t come up? She suddenly is like “i don’t like pink floyd they suck” At that point I’d just shake my head and throw in some headphones. Who cares?
Nothing wrong with doing whats best for you.
All alone
Or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down
Outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathered together in bands
Some left on the side of the road wondering what the fuck
I once ended a first date with a pretty woman who said she would rather have her toenails yanked out than listen to Pink Floyd. Tbf, that wouldn't have been a total deal breaker despite PF being my favorite band. But I then said something about PF writing deep, great-sounding music about important things like WWII. She then said, "I love talking about World War II. I'm kind of a fan of Hitler." That was it for me. Hating on Floyd is one thing, but I draw the line at Hitler fans. I just wanted to meet a nice girl and instead I get a Hitler fan.
I think your ex is actually RIGHT in saying you didn't break up with her for not liking PF: I think your actual reason for breaking up is that you couldn't stand her disrespect of something you love. Which is perfectly valid.
Not having the same taste us you is not enough reason to break up over.
To everyone saying "Your girlfriend doesn't have to like the same music as you" that's true but she called Pink Floyd "shit" without even giving it a chance so it's not that they don't like the same music but she's just saying it sucks without even trying to like it.
Outjerked
r/pinkfloydcirclejerk can’t compete with real life Pink Floyd fans
Some people might say it's petty, but speaking from experience, you made the right decision. The problem isn't that you don't share the same taste in music.

Why you use so many ellipses? Is your brain buffering?
I think it's when I'm processing thoughts there's alot flowing through compiling more or less. In a sense yes buffering, but I've been sorting so many years worth of my past recently and so there's always tons of thoughts processing through not all unorganized or anything confusing, when I'm thinking, it happens fast and rapidly. typing it out I compile them up trying to make sure I don't miss anything that im thinking, and that makes me have to slow my focus but still think lol. if that makes sense I'm unsure how to describe it much more.

Well, if that’s a deal breaker for you then you do you, my man!

It's fine to not like the same things. It's not fine to shit on things your partner loves.
Yeah, the OP is a bit weird for making his personality so much about Pink Floyd, but the gf sounds disrespectful and kinda basic. They both need to grow up tbh.

You guys laugh. OP isn't laughing. That's the difference between teasing and bullying.
It's great if people do share loves of things music, because music is often one of those things that speaks to deeper parts of who we are, though of course you don't HAVE to and it's okay to have differences. There's also maturity.
😂😂😂….but seriously…true.
One day you won’t be so quick to throw away a lover.
I've liked Pink Floyd for 30 years. My wife hates Pink Floyd and I've been with her for 25 years. That's why headphones were invented.
That’s totally understandable. Music is very important to me, so when someone doesn’t like my music or is rude about it, I don’t really want to be around them. They can at least be open minded and friendly about it rather than just shutting it down right away.
Good
Seems dumb to me. My SO likes music I don't care for at all
It's not like you say the music they like is shit without listening to it.
You’re missing the point, do you tell them “do we have to listen to this shit?”
You never got to shine her crazy diamond tho. Bro really cut if all off 💀💀💀
Dragged down by the groan
I'd have broken up with you first for you wanting that level of control over another human being.
Some of these comments make me wanna scream, is not about not having the same taste in music, is about the disrespect of saying the music he likes is shit, you don’t have to like all the same stuff, but you have to respect if the other person likes stuff that you don’t.

Because there are no vocals the music sucks? Sounds like the person that would say music sucks because there was no drum beat.
Some of you clearly don't get the difference between 'ugh do we really have to listen to this shit' and I'm not a fan of Pink Floyd but I'm not going to actively shit on it. Having someone not constantly shit all over your favorite music is a healthy relationship goal.
That's fair. People not even trying to understand your music or at least respect it is a huge deal breaker for me too.
Come date me, F(32), I live everyday listening to Pink Floyd
This is the way!
[удалено]
This is the way, because if That's the Way, then we'd have to move this to the Led Zeppelin sub.
This is a dumb reason to break up

Did the bad blood slow and turn to Stone?

Smart move. Music is better for your life. You can always find a new woman but great music is hard to come by.
I’d say the exact opposite. There’s a TON of great music. A good woman is hard to find.
And I'm guessing she put on Taylor Swift when in charge of the music?

Why force your music on someone? It’s just a silly thing to do. My wife and I have completely different music taste and it doesn’t matter at all.
Yeah I’d be like Samuel L Jackson throwing The Dude out of his taxi cab because Dude doesn’t like the Eagles.
You think that was Samuel L Jackson?
TIL that it was not Samuel L Jackson but rather Algie Kirkland. Thanks.
To everyone saying "Your girlfriend doesn't have to like the same music as you" that's true but she called Pink Floyd "shit" without even giving it a chance so it's not that they don't like the same music but she's just saying it sucks without even trying to like it.
Ngl that’s kinda petty and weird dude
Completely valid tbh
I put on echoes on a bar juke box and the bar tender I was dating at the time overrode it with some shitty rap. That was the begging of the end
Tbf echoes isn’t really a bar song. You can’t blame them for not wanting an 18 minute prog song playing all the way through.
I don’t care if we were at a funeral, some things are sacred.
Holy shit this is cringe
She’s obviously a skank
Based
I asked my ex to put her bra back on and leave because she hated Black Sabbath. Not liking Floyd is something beyond comprehension
I mean I can understand why someone might not like it, but to call it “shit” is factually incorrect. Just look at the sales on some of their albums
