Boundaries matter and respect is important. You make your boundaries and he's encouraged to respect them.

I know I'm simplifying it but honor your discomfort and ask that he does also. If he cannot, it is your place to decide what matters most for you.

I mean I've told him that it makes me uncomfortable that he reads stuff like that but I know he's still going to do it. I guess I can't control him doing that but I just wish he wouldn't willingly listen to stuff like that y'know? IMO I don't think it's exactly rude to say you don't want to hear about your friend's happy ending in detail lol

Right, that's where the respect is supposed to fit in. His respect for you.

I'm still trying to talk to him about it but he says it's pointless and dumb and I guess to an extent, it is, but it just makes me feel like gross? I dunno. Should I keep trying or just accept the fact that it is what it is? His responses are just "okay" and "yeah well _____" so it's quite clear that he's not in a position to have understanding for me in this situation I think
