Don’t get me wrong, he (17M) doesn’t have to enjoy everything I (18F) like, but he always talks about how much he hates my stuff.

I don’t like his stuff all the time, I like reading and he doesn’t for example. However, he doesn’t like a lot of things, and a post reminded me of this. He has to complain about how he doesn’t like it and how he doesn’t wanna watch stuff with me and how he doesn’t like this stuff and how he’s 17, so he’s so mature and can’t watch my “kid stuff”.

    I’m not going to say dump him and block him, but definitely take time to consider why you like each other, and why you’re dating and in a relationship. If he doesn’t like the same things you like (and actively is vocal about that dislike), what do you have in common? He seems to belittle your interests, does he belittle all of your interests or only certain things? Does he belittle you directly? I think it’s belittling of you indirectly by saying the things you like are “kid stuff”, implying you’re childish if you like them.

    I know I don’t have the full story and all the details of your relationship, you posted a complaint about this one thing, but it does raise some red flags to be aware of. Do what makes you happy, and if these things that bother you are small enough that the rest of the relationship is worth it, great! But you’re both young enough, and there’s never a need to lock in a relationship that isn’t satisfying for each of you.

      He never belittles me besides the “kid stuff”, he’s okay with me having interests, but he just doesn’t like most stuff because he thinks he’s too mature. We both really like each other and we like TV shows like South Park and American Dad. They don’t come up often unless I ask him if he wants to watch something with me, and he only belittles things that are cartoonish or not from the 90s.
