I’m 28 years old, I have been married and been in many relationships. However they never last long. I fall out of love so easily with real people because I have this subconscious expectation that things will be like they are in movies or books or tv shows. I find myself watching things like kdramas or romantic movies or anime to fill the void and then I resent the real person for not being romantic or sweet or loyal to me like those men are. I fall in love with characters. It feels more real and I feel more attached to them than I do to real men. I always find myself yearning for more in real relationships and I don’t know if that’s a testament to the kind of men I choose or if it’s because I’m too much of a dreamer and am not grounded in reality. I just can’t help but yearn for more. I want that kind of love and those kind of men. But alas, no, you are not alone.
I have only ever loved fictional characters
