We usually try to avoid shows that obviously might have sexual or nudity scenes. But recently, when we both caught Three Body Problems on Netflix, we didn’t know there was a scene with some female nudity and my wife got extremely angry at me when I didn’t turned the show off fast enough.

Now, we have had this problem for awhile and I know the reason this happened is because she was sexually cheated on really badly in her previous relationship and so anytime there’s a “attractive or hot” female body she will try to make me look away.

While I’m personally fine with avoiding the shows (I’m not a huge TV consumer anyway), a little part of me also feels like I may have missed out really GOOD shows like GOT etc.

How can we try to work together to resolve this together, or do I need to come to a consensus to live with for the rest of my life?

Edit: Wow I didn’t expect this topic to blow up. There are just too many to respond so I wanted to use this edit to thank everyone that responded. It seem that the general consensus is that this is unhealthy even though there was a past trauma. Will definitely explore therapy with my wife and at the same time give her the patience, assurance and security she needs to get past this
