    My wife does this, sleeps to forensic files every single night. But I describe one gore murder from a horror film and she starts gagging. I just don’t understand.

      I know you’re mostly joking but from what I understand it’s this:

      True crime: tries to answer the “why” and there’s the invisible carrot of “justice” that you hope to get in the end. Unsolved mysteries leave you with a crack itch of thinking you can “figure it out,” like a puzzle.

      Gore horror: no “why,” no “justice,” no puzzle, just a brutal description of human suffering. There’s no closure.

      That’s just my hypothesis though ¯\(ツ)

      That’s easy:

      True crime: she is educating herself to murder you.

      Gagging over the gore: the main reason your still breathing.

      Maybe It’s her and all women’s Dark Inner psyche trying to get out and expose the inner psychopath but talking about it openly is triggering her natural instinct to repress it.

      Try being a complete and total psycho, her inner demons should respond well to that, if she doesn’t like it that’s just her trying to repress it you have to really make her believe you are a psychopath woman love that.
