I’m the marketing manager for a London football team, in a relationship with a grumpy former footballer who has just become a coach for his former team 😊

I’m trying to figure some of these out! Especially intrigued by the time loop.

It’s Dark (German show on Netflix and it is amazing; definitely worth watching).

(If you like it, you should also watch the 12 Monkeys TV series on ITVX)

I'm an NCIS agent who has been in a relationship with the NCIS pathologist. He is totally my real-life type, geeky, kind and mildly humorous but the characters have decided not to pursue a relationship despite both being in love with each other. FFS! Also, I am nowhere near as gorgeous, personable or confident as Jessica Knight.

I'm a posh C18th pirate in a relationship with another pirate. Things have been tough but they're looking up.

Hopefully the British won't work out where we are though...

I’d be fifteen years old and doing really badly at school due to being distracted by my rugby playing boyfriend.

We've known each other since we were both in foster care and have since worked in law enforcement together but I fucked up and covered up a murder so he had to arrest me and I don't know if we will ever talk again.

Auldy · 03/03/2025 20:27

I'm a late 20s, American, nurse with vocal fry who's about to marry a guy I met 5 weeks ago on a Netflix reality TV show even though there are some MASSIVE red flags that we shouldn't be together.

Mintymatchmakerheaven · 03/03/2025 20:28

I'm pregnant and am about to set up home with my boyfriend but disaster is about to strike

Want to know more please?

I'm a 20-something journalist who has holed up with a former boyfriend who lied and went to jail to spare me when I was found with drugs. My policeman father thoroughly disapproves (and it's probably not going to be happy ever after).

Tarkan · 03/03/2025 20:32

@Auldy - Will Trent on Disney+. Great show although I guess you now have a bit of a spoiler for the end of S2/start of S3. 🙈

Changeissmall · 03/03/2025 20:33

I’m a 9th century queen of Wessex and Mercia having it away with a sexy Viking. It’s all very complicated.

I'm the miraculous ladybug. DH is cat noir. We are only 15 (or is it 14) and no one thinks it weird. I'm also waifishly thin...

Username2101 · 03/03/2025 20:33

I have an epic love, with a 17 year old broody vampire. 😒

Eeeek last thing I watched was one of those horrid true crime Netflix programs where the female prison officer helped an inmate she was secretly dating escape, and fled with him 🧐

ALoversConcerto · 03/03/2025 20:36

Shelagh Turner and Dr Turner. Been watching Call The Midwife (s.14).

Last kingdom? Love that series!!!

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 03/03/2025 20:37

I’ve got a lovely marriage and life, which would be perfect if I didn’t have a terminal illness 😢

theboffinsarecoming · 03/03/2025 20:40

I'm trapped in a swan's body again... and the only man who can save me has been a complete fool and picked someone else.

It's fine I'll skip my HRT for a couple of days...by Friday I'll have totally forgotten the spoiler. 😁

LindorDoubleChoc · 03/03/2025 20:43

I'm a widow with 2 young children and have been living with their primary school science teacher for a few months. Amazingly he can play the piano really well and all of my friends and family are ecstatic for me.

Youcalyptus · 03/03/2025 20:44

I'm a rich cousin of King Richard and the annoying neighbour's son has come home, had a row with the local authority, now lives in the forest and is constantly shooting flaming arrows at stuff and putting us all in peril. Plus there's the constant strains of Bryan Adams in the air.
