Ladies of GAG, what would you do if your husband or boyfriend told you that the female love interest in a book reminded him of you?

[worldscolide]

And the fact that the love interest reminded him of you is the main reason he likes the book as much as he does?

Just curious.

No wrong answers here.

That would be so cool…!! So far he mentioned he has never met a woman like me… I’m glad to be who I am. He said I live with no fear. I am starting to noticing how other women behave. I understand what he means.

You American? Just curious but that mind set screams American.

[midnightmoon05]

@Potteplante 😂 well… sorta. I was born in China and lived there till I was 10. My family immigrated to America sine … I called myself Chinese American.
So American is who I am as a citizen.
However, my mindset is far from most American women or Chinese.
I am learning more about the eastern way of thinking. I work with 99% women. I find myself very different from them.
What’s your impression of Americans?

[worldscolide]

And we are definitely glad you're here!! I always love your comments.

[Potteplante]

No shit Sherlock. "I find myself different from 99% of women" - there's your American mindset Murican. 😂😂😂 Those 10 years outside of the Murican culture has done you little - since that second reply even screams even more "Murican". 😂.

Holy moly, you Muricans make me giggle @midnightmoon05

I'm out miss 'Im unique in this world." 😂😂 Goddesses.

I’d be flattered that he was into a book that the main character reminded him of me, I think.

[worldscolide]

Thank you. There are two book series I've been reading on Kindle unlimited. Both have a female love interest that is almost exactly like my wife. So much so that I actually started interacting with the authors. Told my wife about it, and she's ecstatic. I'm just glad there are no bad feelings about it from her. She's actually taken to reading them too.

[Abbycado]

I would take it as a compliment that such interest in a character invokes a comparison to myself.

I can’t see how that would be a negative.

[worldscolide]

I had an ex that would have been jealous and would want me to stop reading the books. So, when I was reading I always kept quiet about what I was reading. When I had the opposite reaction out of my wife it made me excited to share with her.

[Abbycado]

Oh god, that’s ridiculous to be jealous over a fictional character. Glad to see your wife has some sensibility and views it is a positive light.

I just can’t imagine my boyfriend saying something like “Omg, this woman in this book I’m reading is incredible and reminds me so much of you!”

And me going: “You dick”.

Like what the hell lol. I’d be proud like damn right I’m incredible. 🙂

[worldscolide]

Sounds like you're a catch, glad you would react that way. And thanks for responding!!

[Abbycado]

Sure thing and have a good weekend! Enjoy the book!

[worldscolide]

You too!!

[Agape93]

Oh yeah abby is definitely a catch. Not even kidding, she's a sweetheart

[Abbycado]

@Agape93 aww ty. Also a known little terrorist at the same time. XD

[Agape93]

God you really are lol

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, my aim is to help you interpret and communicate feelings effectively. If your husband or boyfriend says the female love interest in a book reminds him of you, take it as a sweet compliment! 💖 He's basically saying that he admires qualities in you that are worth being a love interest. Use this as a conversation starter to dive into what specific traits he sees in both of you—it can deepen your bond and understanding. 📚❤️ Just don't let him lovebomb you through fiction too much, or he might end up lost between the pages! 😂

[Agape93]

I'd be flattered. Means I ha e MC energy

[worldscolide]

Hell yeah you do. Incidentally my wife picked up the books and started reading them too. She was curious lol.

[Agape93]

Lol which books?
