DH is OBSESSED with his celebrity crush

SweatyKnobCheese · 16/09/2011 14:35

I know everyone says its ok to have a crush on a celeb but I feel DH goes way over the top with his and he's starting to get to me. He's constantly going on about her, even mentions her in the bedroom and on romantic weekends away. It's getting beyond a joke. I'm not out of line to tell him to curb it a bit am I?

I love Jo Brand too.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 16/09/2011 15:04

Oh, I love Jo Brand. Except when she's going on and on about being fat. That always makes me a bit :(

peggotty · 16/09/2011 15:04

Jo Brand Shock. Who was yours?

schroeder · 16/09/2011 15:06

There's hope for me yet. Grin

Seriously tell him to drop it or start mentioning Martin Clunes at every opportunity.

My DH does fancy Miranda. Genuinely.

Go on, tell us what sort of things he says! Grin

He has this as his PC desktop

He says stuff like I should have my hair shorter and dyed black. He goes on about Jo being able to pull off the larger woman look better than most people, if he's trying to compliment me he says I look a bit like her. etc.

gross.

CaptainNancy · 16/09/2011 15:13

See- people mocked me, but I was correct!

Jo Brand is fantastic- witty, modest, strong- what's not to love?

ItsMeAndMyPuppyNow · 16/09/2011 15:15

Can you formulate exactly what you would like, OP? And in what way exactly you are upset by this?

To him, I mean.

I mean, clearly this is upsetting you on some level. Hopefully he can hear that and respect it, as long as you know what it is you want to ask of him.

ItsMeAndMyPuppyNow · 16/09/2011 15:16

(Last time I had a celebrity crush, my DP at the time would just tease me about it, and even bought me the action figure of said celebrity. But then, neither of us felt it was threatening our relationship in any way.)

CaptainNancy · 16/09/2011 15:17

Perhaps he means he wants you to have more self-confidence?

chipstick10 · 16/09/2011 15:24

Yukkkk shes my pet hate, shes a one trick pony. Fat jokes and men are stupid bastard jokes.......yawn.

HairyGrotter · 16/09/2011 15:47

Ah I like Jo Brand. Funny women can be very appealing to men, like funny blokes to women?

Although, I'd draw the line at them being constantly mentioned, unless they are Johnny Depp

Carol vorderman?

TeachMySelfBalance · 16/09/2011 20:04

Yeah, Schroeder, Martin Clunes...
Or, OP, how about how HOT you think David Suchet is as Poirot. Grin Aren't there like 64 episodes of Poirot plus the Orient Express movie? There is a lot of mileage there. Oh, the images one could conjure... [won't be worring about ruminating with this thread running through my head emoticon] Wink

GsyGacheFiend · 16/09/2011 20:09

Oh please do the Poirot thing - PMSL

We can land a man on the moon, but not Ann Widdecombe!

Time to load a desktop pic of Roy Chubby Brown onto your laptop..and go on and on about him, tell H how in a certain light he reminds you of him

billysolloxx · 16/09/2011 21:57

jo brand lol i thought when i first read this i thought it might be a stunning woman he fancied i mean she is an awesome comedienne but someone to find attractive!? Hell no!! Oh well each to there own Hmm

M0naLisa · 16/09/2011 22:15

Tell him you fancy john mccririck and always go on about him start drinking diet coke, and tell your dh to grow his hair long, start knowing horse racing signs and tell your dh he looks like him. Then tell him to shut the fuck up about jo brand.

fab comedian though.

dearprudence · 16/09/2011 22:41

Jo Brand is lovely IMO, but I wouldn't like my DH to obsess about anyone in the way you describe.

As for your guy. Er... each to their own, I suppose.
