re celebrities getting engaged *lighthearted*

[RuggerHug]

I can't be the only person this has happened to. You know someone you admire, lust at from a-very-far and occasionally, in weaker moments imagine how wonderful you would be together. You're happy in your own life, you know it will never happen but it's a harmless imaginary fantasy world. And then BAM they go and get engaged to someone in their real lives and you have to face it will never happen. The back up life is gone. A slight, not quite sadness, but a definite pause for 'oh....'.

Or am I just a loon having her dream world end that should seek professional advice?

i dont think professional help is needed maybe stop sniffing the lighter fluid would help

YANBU. It bursts a little bubble.

Anyone on particular you were thinking of op? Who got engageD?

I hear you. It's like, wait what are you doing? You haven't met ME yet!

I can't fantasise about someone once I know they're off the market. It's ruined Benedict Cumberbatch. I try, and end up all "but... But....his poor wife and baby!"

BeStrong, you're a better person than I.

The day I found out Tom Hardy was married was a dark one indeed.

Ben Whishaw is both gay and married (well, civil partnered).

Double whammy.

OnlyLovers That's never been an issue in my head ...

And OP I don't share your problem, but I totally understand it.

regenerationfez it was only announced today and wouldn't be a hugely famous person, but well regarded in his field
If only I hadn't made a twat out of myself when I met him, it could have been so different

Rugby player?

SpecialistSnowflake yes. Dam my username..but it is

BeStrongAndCourageous that's exactly my issue! The dream is over because it would be wrong!

Ah, yes, I've seen an article... I don't blame you for feeling deflated, he's a very fine fantasy boyfriend to have to let go of

SpecialistSnowflake thanks for your kind words. My mother text me about it

Jamie Heaslip?

I felt this about Benedict. And Eddie Redmayne. And Tom Hardy. And Cillian Murphy. And many many others. Still holding out hope for Tom Hiddleston and Henry Cavill, though...

Rumble, yes, I don't let it stop me.

Wentworth Miller coming out was a sad day for me.

My condolences on the end of your fantasy relationship. It's most rude of him not to have let you know!

Bad Jamie Heaslip.

YANBU. I will never get over finding out George Michael was gay.

Although, shallow as this makes me sound, I'm more likely to end a fantasy relationship if I discover my beloved is a short arse rather than already spoken for.
