Love: Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended...

By HereForJAMMF - 09/11/2016 17:50

Today, I've actually developed a crush on a guy I never intended to crush on, and also can't have. For one he's married and utterly devoted to his wife. And even if that weren't true, he's so far out of my league I need binoculars to see him. And to top it all of? He's fictional. FML

Weird friendship, but OK

Today, I'm completely in love with my best friend, who I've known for over 10 years. I can't get him out of my head. Too bad he's married, with 2 kids. FML

Today, I realized I have a crush on one of my co-workers. I’m married. I would never ever act on it but it’s really scaring me that I have these feelings and can’t make them go away. FML

Today, I found out that I'm completely and utterly head over heels in love with a man who, as it turns out, doesn't actually exist. Thank you, the internet. FML

Today, I found out the guy I had a huge crush on back in college, and still think of every day, actually did like me back. Except I’ve been married for nearly 8 years to someone else. FML

Been there, done that

Today, I came to the unhappy realization that I’m living such a cliche. I’m completely in love with a totally unavailable man. He’s funny, smart, and drop dead gorgeous. There’s no way I could ever tell him how I truly feel. He’s gay and I’m a woman. We’ll never be more than friends. FML

Today, I realized that I kinda have a crush on my sister-in-law. Mind you I'm a woman and her boyfriend of 5 years is my fiancé's brother. FML

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

Today, I realized I have feelings for a really good friend of mine. Now I have to keep my distance because he’s married, and I refuse to be a homewrecker. FML

If he's fictional and you are fantasising about him then his wife won't mind.

Jensen ackles has a wife. It's definitely him.

Dean Winchester has no wife, and Jensen Ackles is not fictionnal. So no.

To me, it made the FML funnier, cause I wasn't expecting it.

I've actually had a dream where I dated a fictional character and then they cheated on me for my (real) friend. You can never trust your subconscious mind haha.

Don't beat yourself up. I'm sure we've all felt that fierce burning in our loins for Homer Simpson.

I think you should have started with the fictional part lol, but I can guarantee without a doubt that we've all been there. So don't feel too bad.

The OP shouldn't feel too bad. I'm a 40 year old that has a crush on a Equine from a kids show, that reminds me of a RL person that I have feelings for, but we will always be somewhere between "good friends" and "siblings".

Honestly, not all of us have been there. What about the asexuals, or demisexuals. People like that? A lot of them have not been attracted to fictional characters.
