I will absolutely admit I bear responsibility for not speaking up sooner.
The problem was...each individual criticism sounded very reasonable and I assumed I was the problem.
I didn't mind giving up swearing. I didn't mind giving up dark humor. I didn't mind making the effort to not use violent or gross imagery in conversations. There is no need to say that a movie was 'diarrhea'. You can just say it was bad or that it was terrible.
She got a bit irritated with me showing her my ultrabullet games and mentioned that she knows I love ultra but she isn't really into it. Fair enough. I tried to remember not to mention ultrabullet.
She admitted that talking to me got a bit much sometimes because I seemed to talk about dark subjects a lot; fair enough. I'm writing a series of zombie novels and the subject matter is indeed dark. There are various zombie attacks, gunfights, and a scene where someone impaled himself on a rusty metal fence and tore his inferior vena cava. I admit it's a valid point that she was going through a lot escaping an abusive situation and hearing about impalement and zombies is a bit much. So I started remembering not to mention those things...
...then she came for ultrabullet.
No.
You don't try and take my speed chess away.
I will stop playing ultrabullet when my dead body has finished cooling.
