I feel like when she reads those books, our relationship doesn't resemble the ones in the books (i dont think anyone in the real world does) and makes her resent me and our relationship.



About 2 years ago my wife became a fan of a romance series of novels, and she cannot just be a fan, she has to be a fanatical fan. She spent hours on a bullentin board discussing the book, flew cross country to attend a meeting about the book, made a period dress based on the books, and she even curls her straight hair from time to time because the heroine has curly hair.

Of course the hero is perfect in every way.

When I was spying on her, she from time to time referred to these books. There's no way you can compete with a fictional character. I don't know what to say, other than to say it's part of my sitch too.
