is anyone feeling slight naseous at the stories of love on tv/radio or I am really just a bitter and twisted old cow

[sincitylover]

I have watched a couple on GMTV the other morning, a couple on This Morning (actually their story was quite lovely), and someone proposing on the radio. They are all so loved up even after being together for years.

Good luck to them but its when they say things like (when they have been together for perhaps ten years) - I love him more as every day passes, he's my best friend and soulmate etc etc Are they just words, is this just a show for the media, do they mean it and are they part of a small exclusive club I have never had membership to.

Is this really the norm - because it doesn't reflect my and my friends reality for sure.

I don't think I have ever had that view of marriage/relationships) (though do think I have met the person who 'gets' me the most but I can't have him . So it's not that I haven't felt love or am unromantic.

I am just not convinced by these people. Thoughts please.

LOL!
it doesn't actually make me nauseous as such tho some so called celeb couples do!
i only know of two truly in love couples
and my exh and i weren't one of them!
i also believe that i missed out on my 'soul mate'
but saying that i don't know what the future holds in store for me
i never envisaged being divorced with dcs
i think that there is a man out there for me
whether he's in my life or not already or i'm yet to meet him who knows?!

I hate them too. Have lost count of the amount of times I have turned the tv over, or changed radio stations this week because I don't want to listen to a pile of soppy rubbish.

I know I am bitter and twisted but I don't care.

CN are you someone who used ot be on MN? But left for a bit.

I am genuinely interested btw about how some people come to be in rships like that - is it luck ?

maybe they're just deluded!
oh there i go again lol!

maybe they are 'beige' really!!

probably!
i imagine that many just go with it tbh
i know of very few who don't grumble
have one RL friend who endlessly moans about her dh and says that she'll do an ASBM too as she admires me for it
there's nothing admirable about divorce
i fecked up big time and married the wrong man end of.
but do think if it truly works then enjoy and count your blessings

I find it all hideously twee

The M and S dinners
Teddy bears and tacky red underwear

Boak

And I saw the proposal on This Morning {disclaimer I have gastic flu] I can't think of anything LESS romantic than having Eamon fecking Holmes gurning and twittering in the same room/studio.

I did feel that they were a more 'real' couple.

I just do wonder with some of the more gushy ones who don't appear to have had a rough time prior, whether they just protesteth too much!!! IKYWIM

I too must be a bitter ole cow !!!

Heard it all on the radio, tv, e.t.c. I think for me its just that the man I want to spend my life with(NOT EXP!!!!) is my "friend" and not my lover .
So not much to celebrate on this "romantic" weekend. Altho i'm out with my girlfriends tomorrow and we will probably have a laugh at the couples out because usually on Valentines... nobody seems that romantic or happy for that matter.
