To be freaked out that ex has written a book?

[ApplesTheHare]

My ex has written a novel about relationships I keep telling myself it would be stupidly self-obsessed to worry that any of it will be about me but I can't stop feeling odd.

Would you read it?

Of course!

No.

I try and keep my morbid curiosity in check and I suggest you do too, just in case you're right!

Oh god I wouldnt be able to stop myself. How long were you together for?

I wouldn't be able to resist reading it I think

Oh no. I don't think I'd be able to resist reading it though. Feel for you.

I would have to read it!

Ooh I would definitely read it, what’s it called?

I would read it, but I know I wouldn't worry too much about his interpretation of our relationship. If that is likely to bother you I would probably not read.

I'd have to read it and I'd probably make notes in green ink.

I'd totally read it, and probably piss myself laughing at the ego on him thinking he is capable of giving relationship advice.

I'd read it, but I'd get it from the library, I wouldn't buy it and add to the sales numbers

If he was a decent guy and you split on fairly good terms, I'd probably read it. On the other hand, if he was a dick who liked to fuck with your head, I'd steer well clear.

I wouldn't read it as it would likely upset me. Ignorance is bliss.

Tell us the book so we can try to work out which one you are

I'd be totally paranoid. Is he an arsehole?

I would read it without a doubt!

I wouldn't read it nor would I buy it.

I have to ask though, has it been released through a publisher or has he self-published on Amazon?

No way. Either this is more common than you'd think or I know you. Is he self publishing? Definitely read it.

Cynical OP says it's a novel, not a self-help book.

I'd have to read it OP Is it self-published?

Beware though, you'll probably find you see yourself all over the place in it in bits that aren't about you at all.

my sister who i am vlc with has written a book (and published!) about sisters. my parents said i shouldn't read it

Has it actually been published?

Christ, yes I'd read it. And then send it back to him with my corrections added.

I would read it.
If your friends know about him writing a book then you’ll need to know what they might find out about you

NynaevesSister how strange, perhaps there are lots of people worried about this very dilemma!

So I don't want to say what it's called but it's a proper big publishing house, not self published.

Leave that book (probably a very slim volume) well alone.

I'd have to read it, but then possibly regret it (kind of like watching a scary film that then gives me nightmares).

Agree with a PP, there probably won't be one character that is all you but lots with bits of your personality
