This is how I feel.

I don't "get" celebrity culture so I don't really have a crush on anyone in the spotlight, but I understand you cannot control attraction.

My wife is free to like what she wants, I'm the guy she comes home to every night. It's only rewarding me in the end

I would have a slight issue if she couldn't go a day without mentioning her crushes and whatever imaginary scenarios she had in her mind about them however...

But I think that is a separate issue from having crushes in general...

Honestly, is strange for a guy to cut off sex with your gf. A little jealousy is understandable, it keeps you on your game but I think you're overreacting.

I think the real issue here is a grown woman posting statuses on Facebook all the time... not so much having a celebrity crush.

I'm 24, and have not had celebrity crushes since I was a pre-teen (before social media was really even a big thing!) No disrespect to her, but that seems really childish to me.

Additionally, even if you are overreacting, as a mature woman she should be more understanding after you told her how you feel. She should save the celebrity crush gossip for sleepovers with her friends (if she still has them... lol) and leave it off social media if it makes you feel a certain way. If it persists, I hate to say it but maybe you should part ways because it's not healthy for you to resent her for something that she continuously chooses to do. You've already told her how you feel about it and she just said you're overreacting. Only two options from here:

1) suck it up
2) tell her good luck with "X" and walk away from the relationship

I'd definitely dump her. Anyone who would sleep with Daryl Dixon over Rick Grimes has a screw loose

Bwah hahaha. Yeah, you're overreacting. OP, if the TV character your girlfriend likes so much manages to leap out of the TV screen and whisk her away from you, do let us know.

My late spouse used to tease me about going to Philadelphia Flyers games - he'd say the only reason I wanted to go was so that I could sneak off while he was in the men's room and run away with Danny Briere. He was able to maintain a proper sense of humor about my silly little meaningless crushes.

And the other man is a fictional character?

The mind reels, doesn't it?

Well, mine is constantly posting here slobbering over some celebrity or another, and how he would "sop her up with a biscuit," etc. (I don't think he's talking about brunch.) I just laugh at him. It doesn't bother me at all. And vice versa. Some people don't believe it, but it's true. If he was ever lucky enough to meet any of these women, I have no doubt at all that he would remain faithful to me. It's all just some fun we're having.

(We were just watching a tribute to Greg Giraldo, and saw a clip of him goofing on Gwyneth, talking about how she and Chris (at the time) just spend all their time gazing into each other's eyes and burning piles of money. LOL.)

Team Daryl and Team Rick.

I came to my senses and reconciled and got over it. We had a talk and all is well. It was unlike her, we've been together 17 years and I saw it mentioned about 4 times it was kind of immature on her part. I think the poor girl is having mid life crisis and now I feel for her (there was other weird behavior late last year with some girl friends of hers having sleepovers). I went through it already and have come to grips with it, so bring on the 55+ discount and l'll drive slow in the left lane. She's younger than me by over a decade so losing the youth is getting to her, I suppose. I'll take the heat and admit I overreacted. I guess if that's the most pressing crisis in my relationship, then I'm doing better than many. I'm just too dog tired right now to multi qoute and respond to all the posts, but all were read and appreciated.

Good news.

Good to hear all worked out well!

For the record, I always had a crush on Jennifer Garner. However, I do not think I would do it with her now if I had the chance. I would rather just be with my wife.
