Star Wars came between you and a girlfriend?

Well, I wouldn't quite say that, but I would say that she seriously misrepresented how much she liked Star Wars when we first got together. Later on this fact came out during arguments when she declared that my interest in it annoyed her. Wish I'd known that in the beginning!

Not that it was a deciding factor in our breakup, but if the person I'm with finds my interest in Star Wars annoying then clearly I'm with the wrong person. Also, I'd rather be with someone who is indifferent (but tolerant) of Star Wars than someone who claims to really like it and actually doesn't.

Lately I've been seeing someone whose geek level is even higher than mine. Needless to say, Star Wars is not an issue between us!
