Dear
all,
Although it is very difficult to accept, in my relationship, there
are three of us: my partner, me and HER.
When we started going out, I knew SHE
existed and that she formed an important part of his life but I
didn’t mind because I thought it would be very easy to look
over as there were great distances separating them and I was sure
SHE would disappear from his
life soon enough.
I had been told about her but I thought SHE
was just one more, one among many but my first surprise was when
I came into his house and it was full of HER
pictures, to my even greater surprise, when he introduced to me
to his parents, I found their home to be plastered with HER
photos, even his mother talked quite normally about HER.
I couldn´t believe it. It was going to be harder than I had
first imagined.
Over our breakfasts, lunches or dinners we always ended up talking
about HER and although you may
think she was taking my place, I liked HER,
I don´t know if I was using the tactic “if you can’t
beat ‘em, join ‘em!”
In the end, I was the one who was interested in HER
and asked things about HER life,
HER lovers or even found myself
admiring HER work,. It seemed
to me to be INCREDIBLE the the more I got to know HER,
the more I liked HER, the more
beautiful I found HER and the
more I was astonished by her proffesionality.
Anyway,
I knew that my partner who spent a lot of time watching HER
videos, thumbing through HER
photos or finding out things about HER
life and work, getting in touch with more friends of HERS
and more than anything the thousands of hours in front of the computer
with…..HER. would tell
me everything from an irrational standpoint which is the point from
which you see things when its gone far beyond simple admiration
for a person. As far as I was concerned, I tried to add a touch
of objectivity by finding some faults in her which was not always
welcomed.
There were moments when our relationship didn’t go so well
and I really did feel jealous about her although their relationship
never did. Quite the opposite, it improved everyday. What I really
want to say is that, I’m beggin you for advice about HOW I
can manage a relationship when your partner is a NUMBER ONE FAN
of MICHELLE PFEIFFER.
Regards,
A
