My (F22) bf (M35) is too young for TV and it’s embarrassing.

So my boyfriend (let’s call him Nick) and I were watching a show on Netflix the other day. It’s one of those shows that is popular right now. I don’t know the name of it, but it’s like Outlander but set in the modern day.<br><br>So, we’re watching the show and I go to pause it to go make dinner and Nick says “no, don’t pause it! You’ll miss everything!”<br><br>I paused anyway because I didn’t think that much of his comment. When I came back into the living room, he’s rewinding the show and replaying the last five minutes.<br><br>I’m like, “What the heck? Why are you rewinding it? I’m not gonna miss anything.” He then proceeds to explain to me that he thinks the show we’re watching is a very important show that we need to watch. And that we can’t just miss parts of it. <br><br>I’m trying not to laugh but I’m also confused because I don’t think the show we’re watching is that important. He starts going on and on about how we need to watch the show because it’s important for our relationship. He’s also saying that he doesn’t want us to miss anything because it’s so important to him.<br><br>I’m like, “Dude, I don’t care if we miss anything. It’s just a show.” He says, “No, no, no. This show is very important. We can’t just skip it.”<br><br>I’m thinking to myself, “Okay, let’s not push this too much right now and I’ll ask him about it later.” So we finish the episode and I ask him what he likes about it.<br><br>He says, “It’s just so good. It’s very important to our relationship.”<br><br>I ask him, “Why is it important?”<br><br>He says, “Because it’s just so important. It’s very important to us both.”<br><br>I’m thinking to myself, “Okay, let’s just leave it at that for now.” But I’m still thinking about it. I’m wondering if this is a new thing or if it’s been happening for a while now. I’m also thinking about how this might affect our future together. I’m worried that he’ll start to think that this show is the most important show ever and that we’ll never be able to watch anything else.<br><br>I don’t know what to do. I’m just so confused. I don’t know how to explain this to him. I’m not sure if it’s just a phase or if it’s a sign of something more serious. I don’t want to make him feel bad or hurt his feelings, but I do want to have a conversation with him about this. Maybe there’s a way to explain to him that I don’t see it the same way.<br><br>I’m not sure what to do next. Should I just let it go or should I try to have a conversation with him about it? Maybe I should ask him if he’s okay or if there’s anything bothering him. I don’t know what to do.<br><br>**UPDATE:** So, I just had a conversation with my boyfriend and he said he was joking. I asked if he was joking and he said yes. I said that it was really funny and he should be a comedian. He then asked me if he should try out for a comedy show and I told him to go for it! So, it’s all good now! Thanks for all the advice!
