Throwaway because I don’t want him to find this, my boyfriend(18M) and I (18F) have been together for close to a year now and each have our own shows and films we enjoy. Before we started dating he only ever watched anime unless his mom forced him to watch it with her but he stayed on his phone during those anyway. When we started dating and the lead up i started watching some anime’s he recommended to me, i’m a big film and tv show buff and i love the animation style however i find a lot of the fan service and attitudes difficult to watch but i want to get into them more for him. However whenever i make him watch a film or tv show i enjoy he is always on his phone throughout and has said its due to “him finding it easier to concentrate when he’s also on his phone”. I don’t know if i’m overreacting but it makes me upset when i show him a film i really love and he’s on his phone, falls asleep or says he’s too tired. I always make the effort to watch his anime’s even if i don’t enjoy them or find it repetitive, (anime nerds don’t get mad at me i do enjoy it but some are in my opinion!) and he’s never on his phone during any of them. When I asked how come he doesn’t go on his phone during anime’s he said he does, as he’s usually watching it while eating or gaming and he likes to watch my reactions to the anime. I’ve said it makes me upset when he doesn’t watch my films and he said he’d try but he still does it. Is there anything i can do?
