That passion, urge to ruin eachother, complete nonsensical passion... Urgh.

I also deffo wouldn't kick him out of bed because of crumbs. (I know he's gay - let me dream!)

I miss short relationships and quick frantic shags and the excitement. Not the downsides of it all obviously... But the passion Blush

He does chuck her for religion though, so maybe you’re not missing much!

LucilleBluth · 22/06/2019 20:13

He doesn't lover her enough though.

Reallybadidea · 22/06/2019 20:15

You want someone who loves you less than God? Really??

NameChange9854 · 22/06/2019 20:17

But it would make your second season so boring :(

Oh I know. In my daydreams I imagine meeting someone and both of us having that animalistic passion for each other, somebody being stopped in their tracks by me. I am, however, married and additionally looking like a frumpy bag of dicks after 2 years of motherhood, face stuffing and shite sleep but hell, nothing wrong with a wee daydream Grin

You really, really wouldn't. My friend is rather passionately entangled with someone atm. They both know it's doomed. They both have issues. He's got faith/sex/self belief issues, she has a lot going on.

Coincidentally he's a devout Roman Catholic who considered joining the clergy.

Tallgreenbottle · 22/06/2019 21:26

@AgentCooper are you me?? I feel like we could be twins 😂 or great friends!

I've had the relationship before. The heartache is always and yet never worth it at the entire time. To love someone so intensely is exhausting and is always a numb relief when over.

AIBU to smugly announce this is the relationship I had with my partner Smile
We were mad passionate crazy loon bags when we first met. The timing wasn’t right though and it ended for other reasons.
But....we worked our own shit out and worked our shared shit out and now we’re 2 years in and its still absolutely amazing and passionate (we do argue about taking the bins out and our political disparity too tho).
I think it’s possible to have those feels in a proper relationship but I know it’s more likely in the ones that burn out quickly

I’ve had this connection with someone and it’s really toxic and destructive. You don’t wish for it trust me

Vulpine · 22/06/2019 22:09

I wouldn't mind the priest in fleabag loving me like the priest in fleabag

gamerwidow · 22/06/2019 22:29

He doesn't love her though. Fleabag is vulnerable, he abused his position and her trust.
Was the confession scene sexy, hell yes, but it's a fucked up dynamic in real life.

Tallgreenbottle · 22/06/2019 22:29

Neither would I @Vulpine

I was a huge fan of Fleabag so had several interpretations of your title within milliseconds

But the priest did not love Fleabag. Do you want someone to just really fancy you? Grin

Tinytomato2 · 27/06/2019 13:10

Have just got into this and love it!! It's clever how you never get to know her name and I love it when she raises her eyebrow to the viewer. Really makes me cringe and laugh and there's some real truths in it too.

ethelfleda · 07/07/2019 08:47

I know this is an older thread, but I didn’t want to start a new one and I only just finished watching Fleabag last night...
But you are totally not BU.
Oh. My. God.
