Imagining a relationship?

[Eclair_Ramos]

I have a friend that does it. It's odd... but ill never tell her so, cause to each their own.

Not healthy. It's only holding them back from real-life relationships.

Fantasizing is one thing; deluding yourself is another. If you start to convince yourself that you're actually in the imagined relationship, you've officially hopped on board the cuckoo train.

I don't know if it is unhealthy, but it completely normal. Just don't go around in real life acting like you are said persons girlfriend. That would be unhealthy.

[The Kings Royal Banker]

It's called masturbating

Is it unhealthy to imagine that you're still in a relationship with an ex, or even somebody whom you've never dated?

Have you ever done it?

Do you know people who have done it?

Discuss. emotion_kirakira

That falls dangerously close to obsession. I myself have never done that, all my ex girlfriends have always stayed just that- ex girlfriends.

I knew one girl who did that with me. She was a nutcracker already, but that just made it worse. Called me nonstop like we were dating still, kept texting me about marriage and kids...showed up at my work a few times before management threatened to have her arrested. Freaked out months later when she saw me walking in town with another girl. Screamed that I was a filthy cheater...

Freakiest year of my life. My wife refers to her as the Dublin Banshee.

... What? Who does that?

[Shiny SyIveon]

How can you even do that?


Maybe I am too old? I can't imagine having a pet unicorn anymore, so I sure as hell can't be in an imaginary relationship.

Sounds Pre stalkerish or the eventually crazy a** ex problem.

[pizzina]

I've done it... I'd say it's completely normal, because it's doubtful that there aren't a ton of other people who have done the same thing.

Indeed it does xD

[zaptar13]

Never. Wait....No never. I couldn't imagine me dating. No wait...Yes I can, I'd be so awkwardly silent then they'd leave eventually. smile Yeah that's how those work out for me.

Anyone who has ever read any manga/watched any anime/seen any movie and so on has.


Hell, look at the homestuck fandom.

I'm a sagittarius dating a leo. I've shipped that pairing for ******** ever. (but, to be fair, I didn't know his sign until after we started dating. still. crazy coincidence, yeah? )

[Seruubi]

i've never done that with an ex, but when I have a huge crush (like I do now) I imagine what it be like for us to be in an relationship. But I don't go as far to actually believe we are in one.
