Please help me move on from an obsession

57 replies

Needtomoveonwithlife · 15/07/2022 18:27

For the last few weeks I have become obsessed with a minor celebrity. He is probably not a household name but is very well known in the specific genre. I met him at an event recently and it was brilliant. DH knew I was going but wasn't happy about it.

I have spent far too much time online and in my head pursuing this obsession rather than reality. DH is thoroughly fed up. He knows I am into the scene around this person but not about the obsession around him. I'm very attracted to him and have flirted with him a lot online. I'm not proud of it. I do have an obsessive personality and am very impulsive. I have never cheated on DH.

I need to make a clean break and get him out of my head. I'm leaving the online groups. I feel so guilty. I love my DH and my family and they deserve my attention. Please be kind.

At the risk of freaking you out, pretty sure you and I are long time friends on social media OP. If you are who I think you are, I’m really pleased to read your posts in this thread.

@Needtomoveonwithlife it’s not Tim Westwood is it?

I don't think he has any children & not married?

Give “out of reach” by Gabrielle a listen. It might resonate.

Did you ever establish whether or not you knew each other?
