I Am In Love With a Fictional Character

I am in love with more than one character. And I don't mean in a crush way or in a passing way of "oh yeah this character is cool". I've been deeply in love with two characters for over 8 years and recently fell in love with a third.

I do not care for one more than the others, they are my darling dears, my lights in a dark place. Things aren't always happy or easy, them being 'fictional' doesn't make any hurts less legitimate or painful. I didn't decide to love them so intensely, but all the same I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Despite what people may think or judge me as, I am happy with them. I am living my life, experiencing new things, trying to find my way in this world, and I will continue to do so with my lovelies beside me.

I won't say who they are yet, but I am so thankful they're with me.

@silkandlace Aw, I definitely get that. When you feel close to characters in any capacity, there's going to be those periods of semi-depression. It's really nice you're able to tell your wife these sorts of things and not feel any shame. I fully plan on sharing how I feel with who I end up dating/marrying. Hopefully they don't take offense to me mooning over them now and then 😆

And I totally agree, you should never let this detract from your life. It's honestly the same as letting any sort of 'relationship' consume you. But don't worry! Not disrupting my life in the slightest ❤ People seem to think that I'd just let my life stop because of this but I'm still going out there trying to survive, not hiding away with my nose pressed to a screen.

Thank you so much for the offer too ❤
