I am okay about admitting my obsession with the Twilight series. I read through those books in a week. And then reread them over and over again in the next few weeks. I couldn’t wait for the movie.
And then I noticed I was starting ridiculous fights with Caleb. At the end of one such argument, Caleb asked me if any of this had to do with the books I was reading. I just sat there, realizing what I was doing, and feeling ridiculous.
So, I agree with you Chad. I will still love my Twilight. But I have learned to leave Edward on the shelf because he is a dangerous character for real women leading real lives. I have actually seen couples comparing their dating relationship to the characters in Twilight, and I can see how absolutely unhealthy that is. So its a tricky thing. People can still love the series, but they need to learn how to seperate fiction from reality.
And that laughing instead of brooding should make up the majority of the relationship. 🙂
