My girlfriend has started listening to country music. Should I break up with her?

Pre-Garth Brooks: No. Post-Garth Brooks: Yes.

If she listens to Big and Rich, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney or Keith Urban, you might want to cut and run.

If Cowboy Troy "raps" his way into her heart, you might want to cut and run.

If Jeff Foxworthy makes her laugh, you might be a redneck...er...I mean, you might want to cut and run.

I don't know if it's pre or post Garth Brooks. All I know is, every time she plays it, I want to kill myself.

If she's otherwise cool, I'd suggest his n' hers mp3 players, that way you can both enjoy your music without it killing your relationship.

The next real pickle is when it comes time to decide the music for your first dance at your wedding.

Problem is, I like to rock my music through the house. So does she. But now i'm having to lay down some rules. "no freakin' country music allowed".

Please tell me this isn't a serious question, hudson. Would anyone here really consider breaking up with a girl because of what music she listens to? If so, I might just have to retire my account, never to return again.

Hey, I've read a post from a woman who said she wished she had aborted her son because he looked at porn. It's a crazy world.

Subject at hand: there is country-rock you know. And much of it is pretty excellent, from it's heyday of the 60's and 70's. International Submarine Band, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Byrds circa Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, Gram Parsons solo, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, CCR, they all blurred the lines between rock and country and they were all great. Unless you really just hate country THAT much, in which case you might want to break up with her. But I'd think that silly.

Hm...if you come on a forum and ask a question like this, I think SHE should probably break up with you

It may seem shallow, but if my wife and I didn't have several things in common (music being at the top of the list) we never would have even gone out on a date. I think if music isn't important to one or the other that's okay, but if music is important to both of you and you don't like what she plays-- take my advice and steer clear.

Assuming you're married or have a girlfriend, do you have anything in common with her?

This little quote is intriguing. I have been with the same girl for the past five years. Music is very important to me, both as a hobby and professional level, but it's also important to her. She doesn't listen to as much as I do, nor does she have a ton of CDs and records like I do.

But she does like what she likes a lot. We both love the Head and a few other bands--some that I have shown her--but I have also shown her stuff that she flat out does not like. Even some of my favorite artists/bands she doesn't care for, at all. But the thing with her is that she is really laid back. She doesn't order me to turn off my music or gets mad at me when I buy an album by an artist/band that she despises.

We do have a lot in common but we do differ on some music. This topic is funny because she likes a lot of country stuff. She knows a lot more than I do about that style fof music. She likes old stuff like Roy Orbison and Hank Williams, she also loves Garth Brooks. The funny thing is, I don't care that she likes it, I can even appreciate it's substantial, "real," and sometimes playful feel.

If you care about her hudson, it shouldn't matter to you what kind of music she likes. And if you really care about her, it shouldn't matter what a bunch of music nerds on a discussion forum think about her musical tastes.

I think your are right on here. It's not about the rest of us nerds, it's about hudson. But I'm telling you if something your significant other loves, annoys you-- that ain't right, and you better make sure you do truly care about her before taking the next step.

explore the genre together. You might be surprised what you find.
