What exactly is wrong with us???

Tell you what - whatever it was that kept us sooo interested - bet anyone in the TV world wish they could bottle it - and use it elsewhere.

We are like young foolish girls - following their favourite pop stars - I didn't even do that when I was young.

I've never joined a forum or social networking site in my life.

I'd like to think that I had above average intelligence so why do I keep coming and writing stuff about a couple that I don't know, have never met - never likely to meet - who have no relevance in my life.

Am I coming here just to talk to like minded people or because of JJJ - can someone answer any of my questions please?

Maybe that should be the subject for my next attempt at poetry.”

I keep asking myself the same questions - not getting any answers though

I think I'm here because I like to talk and read about JJJ because no-one knows about my obsession in real life (my family sort of know, kids think I'm bonkers, husband thinks I've lost the plot and is not happy, so I tend to keep it a secret). But it also is a bit of a comfort to know that I am not the only one that feels like this - there has been many a time over the last year that I've thought I must be going nuts ”

BIB I am exactly the same. I am also glad that when I lurked on here to start with I realised I was not alone in how I got so interested in these two people.

I just always felt that how they met,fell in love was so special and I just wish they would both realise what they had

It is good for people to post their feelings on here sometimes they aren't always pretty. I do tend to censor myself at times so I admire those that have the strength to say what they truly feel it is usually those posts that really make you think whether you agree with them or not.

I know this is way off topic but it's my favourite film ever and to make it on topic I'm sure Josie loves this film

xx

Today marks the 2 year anniversary of the death of actor Patrick Swayze, who passed at the age of 57 to pancreatic cancer. May he always be remembered as the talented actor, Johnny, in Dirty Dancing among his other films. Rest In Peace Patrick---may you dance in heaven forever ♥ ♥ ♥

PS Actually I was a bit obsessed with this film when it came out also because of the love story

When the split came it felt like they were leaving ME.
So so stupid i know .
I think to be honest i too fell in love, only it was with THEM.”

I think I did too - when this break/split came I felt like one of them - or both of them had done it to me - felt as though they both had drawn me in to fall in love with them - then had ended our affair - abruptly.

I wonder if I have gone though all the "normal" break up stages too - I accepted the situation a while ago but then can't stop wondering what will happen next.

I know they weren't together long in the scale of things but it doesn't matter - I always knew Mr Lover was the one for me - even at the beginning - and it wasn't smooth I'll tell you.

Just couldn't contemplate being with anyone else - ever.

As you say it is too late. Maybe it is time for the men in white coats to come and take us away

I still feel sad when I watch that film. I have lost count of how many times I have watched it. I think I know it word for word now

it is good, & if i'm honest, when i respond to certain posts, i tend to always add "possibly" or "maybe" stuff like that, just cos i don't want to offend & don't wanna be shouted at!!

also, i seem to always change my mind depending on which post i'm reading!!

you'd think i didn't have a mind of my own!!

I have discovered that somehow JJJ have touched a part of me that had until them been exclusively for my family and friends - only. But there they are and thats why here I am. I have a strong family base a great bunch of friends good qualifications Ive had a successful happy life I have never needed or wanted to care about two strangers why would i;but what I witnessed between the two of them was as Ive said in the past the most beautiful slow motion love story ever it pained me dreadfully when they were hurting I was happy as Larry when they were content I cried for Britain when it went wrong etc etc etc
I have accepted that John and Josie will remain with me for along long time ......

Right what was I doing......oh yeah bedtime ....

I've read it through several times and in a long post there is a lot on which to comment .......but as a start I would say that the main thing that strikes me is that you seem to see a clear difference between saying things directly on Twitter or directly on TV are somehow more credible and truthful than if it's just hinted at through other mediums.
If there is one thing I'm rapidly learning it is that everything is open to question and interpretation .........since they first said hello we have used up over 200 threads talking ourselves into a twist many times because of the varied takes each poster has.

I have said before that I hate the word 'manipulative' .......it can mean so many things ......it can mean that someone is cruelly bending your will ........or it can mean that someone is giving advice or to steer or help or direct .........that can be a good thing but only if the recipient is welcoming of it ........otherwise they see it as a negative thing .......ie ...controlling............depends on your viewpoint I suppose............but I have said that I did not see the negative of the word in John ...............and yes I did watch him a lot during BB.........perfect he wasn't but cynically manipulative .......I really believe not.
It also begs the question .....if he was so manipulative why did Josie want him to stay?.
When love is lost there are many ways of dealing with that loss and one is to paint the person in an unflattering light and then that makes it so much easier to accept they are gone and that they were never what you wanted anyway. so good riddance.
I think they are both guilty of a little of that and it is one explanation as to how one minute they are so in love and happy in tweets and meets and for example the Fab mag interview and video ........No evidence there of negative manipulation........I aways saw Josie as very able to handle her corner and a lot of the time she appeared to wear the trousers with great confidence.

So that is my personal take on this issue .......some will agree and others will not ........I'm open to persuation if there's anything else to add. .”

Thanks, Annie, for saying exactly how I felt but I was just too tired to find the words.

this is exactly what i felt like! i felt sick, couldn't sleep, cried- a lot!!

i've never really been through a big break up of my own, i was always the dumper, not the dumpee

so in a lot of ways, it was my first experience of a break up ......... & it wasn;t even mine!!! how ridic is that!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly Lover i am so glad i'm not the only one with these feelings and i am old enough to be their grandmother.
I'm so glad you found and kept your man.
I had three stabs at it and couldn't keep any of them, so gave up.
I am an aquarian and i see a lot of me in Josie.
I'm an expert on covering up what i really feel by making a joke of everything.

Oh I think it's been too late for a while - probably fire exit day - or even before.

I love Dirty Dancing - oh and by the way everyone says Mr Lover looks like Patrick Swayze - including me -

What's that you're all saying - NO WONDER SHE'S THE WAY SHE IS!

I like to joke too - but can NEVER cover my feelings - not in words on here or in real life - especially if I am hurt by someone - it's written all over my face - and I have a vicious tongue when I get going!

Do you want me to vounteer? - I could pretend to be not too positive? It might help fix me!
