My Wife Is Obsessed With a Terrible Movie Series. There's Only One Way I Can Tolerate It.
Briefly

Couples can maintain healthy relationships by accepting differing interests without disparagement. Avoiding negative talk about a partner's interests, even in a joking manner, prevents hurt feelings. Humor can play a useful role in navigating these differences. The connection does not require complete agreement on all interests but acknowledges individual preferences. Healthy couples find ways to bond over these differences while ensuring communication remains respectful and supportive. Accepting what the partner enjoys is crucial for maintaining a harmonious relationship.
Healthy couples know there are things they both like, and things that each person likes and the other tolerates. I absolutely loathe the Twilight films on several levels. But I don't sit there and tell her it's stupid, or that she's stupid for liking it.
You don't both need to be all in on a fandom to bond over it. It's a part of her, and you love her, so just accept that and move on. Just whatever you do, don't go grousing to others about what she likes, because it will get back to her one way or the other.
