I have spent the last three days reading all of your chapter caps after somehow finding a random link here and you've made my fucking week! I haven't laughed this hard since I watched Four Rooms. (Random old Quentin Tarantino movie I highly recommend) which was a long fucking time ago. I laughed so hard at the smell this milk for me baby comment my husband had to ask if I was okay. Then I get to this comment and see you have the same birthday as me! Go pi pisces chics!

He continues to emotoianally-manipulate Ana, while making it all about him, but Ana is no better - she just sees him as her traumatized man, also objectifying him. I think if Christian ever got mentally healthy, she won't be attracted to him any more. These two deserve each other is all aI can say!<br /><br /><br />Also, (and this was a major concern in I Love You, Man, which I agree with) if a person has NO healthy relationships (friendships) outside of this one relationship, chances are this person will become very co-dependant, which is exactly what is happening here. And I've always a hated 'the loner, who only cares about the girl', because he always becomes co-dependent and/or mentally unhealthy in some way.<br /><br /><br />I love you re-cap, as always.Thea Karannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-40335611062512155522013-03-21T16:07:59.070-04:002013-03-21T16:07:59.070-04:00To be The Most Sinister about Leila, yeah, it'...To be The Most Sinister about Leila, yeah, it's almost like she was involved with a controlling assclown who did stuff like buy companies so he could fire her co-workers, and disapproved of all her friends, and expected to micromanage her life in every way. RUN, ANA, THIS WAY LIES PTSD AND LOSING EVERYONE IN YOUR LIFE. Except that Ana is a Creeper McCreeperton too, so I guess it all works out? I finally figured out what makes me hate the talky chapters so much: they both remind me of my high-school friends, who were inexperienced at dating and basically cobbling together how-tos from movies/music, and I can handle this even if it's really exasperating in people ten+ years older. Then one of them does something creepy/invasive/abusive as hell, and bam! the tolerance and gentle eye-rolling turns to visceral loathing and terror.pope_suburbanhttp://liquidwaffles.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-42742960615899550042013-03-17T01:10:39.366-04:002013-03-17T01:10:39.366-04:00... nightcrawler?... nightcrawler?Mauri Helmshttp://www.facebook.com/mauri.helmsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-57537773409698855162013-03-15T23:17:23.316-04:002013-03-15T23:17:23.316-04:00In one of my video games, I play a character who c...In one of my video games, I play a character who can teleport around, run super-fast, and occasionally become invisible (and both the teleportation and the super-fast running do not cancel the invisibility, which is extremely useful for avoiding fights).

And happy we all are that your liver has not protested too much for you to continue.<br /><br />This chapter is way too WTF to be erotica, unless your kink involves seriously abusive and controlling relationships. I still wonder how it became as popular as it did - perhaps its origins as Twilight fanfic allowed some of that glamour to rub off?<br /><br />I just want to tell Ana to take as much of his cash as possible and ruin someplace nice, picturesque, and so very backwater that she can hide from the Christian Grey panopticon until he gets another sub.Silver Adepthttp://silveradept.dreamwidth.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-64494149568052234502013-03-15T10:15:41.947-04:002013-03-15T10:15:41.947-04:00Totes agree - relationships defy all logic.

And let me clarify - while I knew pretty early that he was it, and it didn't take him long to ask me to marry him, I still made us wait for over a year and a half until we actually got married. I needed time to really make sure it wasn't my libido getting the better of my sanity. I don't really believe in whirlwind either. Time is the best tell about what is genuine or not. Plus, I hear the real estate market in Vulcan is out of control.

I'm pretty much the exact opposite. It took my dude a long time to inch past my barriers, and it didn't help that I was inexperienced with this relationship crap and therefore a thousand times more hesitant. I just don't do whirlwind and passionate. And what with all the bad stories you hear about hasty romances, I'm even more suspicious of them.<br />There's just soooo much bullshit flying around about romantic relationships, and it's hard to separate the genuine passion from stupid, hormone-driven wishful thinking. Hell, how can you determine what exactly is genuine and how much is just hormones when emotion relies so much on hormones? Fuck it, I need to move to Vulcan.bad_cooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946534773407276339.post-949240790307408232013-03-14T13:55:33.805-04:002013-03-14T13:55:33.805-04:00Oh, whatnapple.
