Sudden inexplicable obsession

106 replies

holeinyourhead · 05/10/2016 19:35

I have suddenly been obsessing about Oasis and Liam Gallagher in particular. Been going on for a week now. I can't stop listening to their music as if I am hearing it for the first time. I have been following Liam on Twitter and scouring the internet for photographs and nuggets of information about a possible reunion of the band. I was a fairly moderate fan at the time and kind of thought he was sexy back in the day but was well aware of what a complete tool he was/is as well so why this, why now? It's utter fantasy all this, I'm ashamed of myself. I can't seem to stop fantasising about what he would be like in bed and how he might seduce me, what his house is like, what his girlfriend is like. Pathetic. It's totally preoccupying my daily routine at the moment, all I want to do is play Oasis at top volume, bring it up in conversation wherever possible and endlessly stare at photos of Liam looking moody and gorgeous. I'm embarrassed to admit it, I wouldn't tell anyone I know about this. I am not an obsessive type normally. I don't have time for this kind of thing, I am a busy middle aged mother. Is this a midlife crisis? I am happily married, with a very busy job and social life. I love and still fancy my husband, we have a good sex life. I don't want for much. What the hell is happening to me? AIBU to be neglecting my kids' homework for a late-stage obsession about a 90s rock n roll star?! Please tell me this will all be over soon!

Biscuit Have a word with yourself love. If you must fancy a Gallagher at least make it the one with a modicum of talent.

Just goes to show we all have different tastes which ensures the future of the species.

Personally I wouldn't touch Liam even if I was paid to do it; I don't even look at his pictures for too long in case my eyeballs catch an STI. Dan Smith reminds me of Nick Grimshaw in some of his pics - i'ts probably the quiff.

I'm sure loads of people would be horrified by men that I find attractive. I do tend to go for some unusual looking blokes.

CrazyNameCrazyGuy · 05/10/2016 23:18

Who do you find attractive then Crazy

Offhand I can think of Rutger Hauer, Iggy Pop, Christopher Eccleston and Willem Dafoe. Shoot me now Blush

Happened to me too. Wentworth Miller when the first series of Prison Break came out. Such a wasted crush...

Sorry, got your name wrong - JellyBelli

Maryslairs · 05/10/2016 23:35

Used to have mega crush on Rutger in the 80s. Art Malik was another weird one. Just gonna look up Due South guy

GreatFuckability · 05/10/2016 23:37

I met LG once. He smelled fine. Talked shite though. cocaine does that

Lilacpink40 · 05/10/2016 23:40

You could pick up a look alike lying on a park bench. A few hours sat smoking and drinking cider in your house the obsession would fade...

TinklyLittleLaugh · 05/10/2016 23:44

Nineties Liam was so beautiful though. And such a dick. Like God was having a big joke at the expense of womankind. And how absolutely galling to be Noel; you have the songs and the wit but your idiot younger brother has the looks and the voice.

CoolToned · 05/10/2016 23:50

I had this phase when I was a teenager in the '90s.

Now, at 38, it's Chris Hemsworth.

Tartyflette · 06/10/2016 00:04

the looks and the voice -- you mean the monobrow, prognathous jaw and Mongolian nose singing?

Sorry but I PMSL laughing at your OP. It is so heartfelt! and SaucyJack's reply Grin

I get totally obsessed with things and think I'm getting carried away and then it goes and I'm on to the next thing! Must be a mid-life thing.

I don't know why people are saying LG is dirty. He always looks clean to me. I've seen Oasis in concert. They were great.

RortyCrankle · 06/10/2016 02:32

Poor you OP. He's a surly, sullen, ugly oik - hope you feel better soon. Keep taking the tablets Grin

BummyMummy77 · 06/10/2016 02:49

Lolz. I did this about Guns and Roses while
I was pregnant with ds. Never even liked them before. Spent 9 months listening to them st full blast all day every day. Had him and couldn't stand them.

This summer got in to Janis Joplin. Watched the movie over and over and it's all we listened to. Got colder and now I can't stand it.

People are weird. Grin

VioletBam · 06/10/2016 03:04

I had this but with the Chilli Peppers. Weird isn't it? Enjoy it while it lasts!

Thatsmeinthecorner2016 · 06/10/2016 03:30

Imagine being married to him. Imagine all the middle aged fan girls waiting for him backstage, begging him to shag them before their babysitter needs to go home. Imagine the shiltloads of beer bottles filling your kitchen and utility room you will need to bring to the recycling bins every week.
Hope it helps.

Thatsme- but she'd be married to him Grinneeds dreamy face smilie,
