My boyfriend is a writer?

[ger9a2]

...and the love interests in his stories don't resemble me at all. I don't expect them to be exactly like me, and I'm not jealous of fictional characters lol But I worry, if his characters don't have any of my qualities, can he still be happy with me? Or does he wish for something else?

Guys I don't think everything is about me. I don't expect all his characters to be the same and or based off me. I don't look for signs in his writing of how he feels.

But out of the dozens of stories he's written 90% have complete opposite qualities of me. And it was a curiosity. I'm not considering a break up over this or anything.

Being a writer myself, it isn't you. It depends on his main character. Sometimes a difficult, neurotic person would go well with a sweet, patient person. But maybe he has a different main character, maybe it's a prince charming type this time, he might not want a fairy tale, so he'll make his love interest an off-beat clumsy, unconventional girl. So, it isn't as simple as saying, OK, I'm going to make everyone in my story exactly the same as in the last story because they're like people in my life.

He's using his creativity to actually create a fictional story. Yes it would be nice if some of his character's love interests were like you, but it may not fit the story. Why not ask him to write a story for you with you and him in it?

Thanks, I see what you're saying. What if, though, he favors creating short female characters with big boobs and black hair, when I'm tall and blond with B cups?

You can say what if about everything, but it's not gonna be very productive.You can ask him, you could say "hey, I've been reading your books and I was just wondering why all of the characters are short ladies with black hair and big boobs."

If this is bugging you so much why don't you plan a day for just you two and ask him why is he with you or why does he love (idk if already said that ) just ask him what he loves most about u?

with this it will reasure you that its really nothing. and another thing is at least he's not obsessed over you that everything is about u, Believe me you wouldn't want to be with him if he was

It depends. As a writer, i do not plan how the character should be. I have to find out who he or she is. The idea just comes to me and i should create a character to suit it. Nothing personal for the writer, it Just rely on the idea.

This is a perfect example of why men are becoming more and more neurotic these days. Does it have to be about you all the time? You clearly are jealous or worry about his fictional characters. He's a writer, that's what he does. He makes up fictional characters and creates a plot line for them. Ugh... frustrating.

[ger9a2]

If you're just going to whine instead of be helpful don't bother answering at all. I already spelled out that I wasn't jealous, that's not the issue at all. Ugh... frustrating.

I'm obviously not the only one who feels this way.

[Starling]

Not everything's about you darling.

[ger9a2]

I'm aware, sweetheart.

[Starling]

Well then start acting like it.
