Girlfriend Obsessed With Celebrity

[The37thElement]

I honestly have reached the end of my rope. Even though we've only been dating for a month, I am already encountering some problems. I know celebrity crushes are normal, but this seems like a little much. She's drooling all over a kid who she'll probably never meet in her lifetime. I'm not the type to be envious, but this is just getting to me. I really want to say something about it, but I don't want to ruin this relationship because it is so young and fragile, and I really do love this girl. I also don't want to behave in the same way that she is. Any suggestions?

Just out of curiosity, who is the celebrity? Also, to what extent does it go? Is it like, "Oh, he's really cute" or does it get to a crazy level like having a bedroom filled with posters of the person, and talking more about the crush than you?

I'd prefer not to use his name in order to avoid her finding this, but she "loves him" and "wants to run away and marry him." As soon as I poke into the situation a little more, she will fire back with the "he's just an inspiration" excuse. She was also serching for phone cases with him on them today. I'm honestly disgusted by it. Especially because said celebrity got famous because of a Vine of him singing, (dead giveaway, please don't mention his name if you know who I'm talking about).

May I also add that she is running a Twitter page dedicated to him that apparently has over 1,000 followers, but she won't give me the handle because according to her, it is "her escape." She also doesn't want me "seeing the posts."

I believe there is only one solution to all problems. CONVERSATION. Warn her not to get mad at you and then open up about your disgust. You just might hit the spot. If it gets ugly, you can always escape with 'just banter' excuse.

unless you tell her how you feel she isnt going to change but in saying that sounds like fantasy to me. you gotta realize most teen girls are exactly like her though so you might have to learn to not care

^^^This. The key to any succesful relationship is communication. As long as you are able to communicate calmly and effectively, in an unloaded manner, then she should understand your issues. If she reacts badly to mature discussion, then that is on her.

Agreed, with everybody above. You could give her an ultimatum, saying that you don't want to be in a relationship with someone who is in love with someone else. Tell her how you feel, and if she doesn't want to change or at least dial it back a little bit, then you should break it off.

got to talk to her about it. a celebrity crush is not the end of the world but if she is supposed to be your girl friend than I think she is going to the point where it is just obsessive. it would be obsessive even if she wasn't dating
