Well i posted way back in the beginning of this thread that my husband really didn't have any issues with my obsession, but I have an update...today I left my copy of Twilight on the end table in the living room ( I was looking up something something I'd read here actually lol ) and he picked it up. Started reading...and took it to work with him tonight. Hope he likes it enough to continue with the others !

In general my fiance rolls his eyes at things like me revamping time and time again, buying multiple copies of the books, watching the trailer over and over, being on TM's all the time, swooning over Rob, etc. but he's accepted the fact that I'm obsessed and is ok with it. I think he's glad that I've found something (other than him) that makes me so happy. I haven't gotten him to read them yet, but maybe someday. I like the idea of reading them to him. Now that's quality time spent together!!

Ooooh, let us know. I'm curious!

Unforunately, my husband is Anti-twilight. He hates it. I have no idea why. He thinks it's great that I have something I like, but he still doesn't like it and does not want anything to do with it. It was worse this morning when I was looking at some pretty twilight inspired bracelets and one said Lion and Lamb and he asked what it meant. I recited the quote from twilight and he got real mad! He said Stephenie defaced the bible!! As if!!! Besides, it's fiction!!! SHeesh!

Oh well... Thank God for this site so I have somewhere to chat about Twilight.

Whoa!!!!!!

my hubby is pretty accommodating about my obsession, but he doesn't understand it at all - nor does he want to. he thinks it is silly and weird, but he lets me hang up the movie poster in our bedroom and hog the computer all night while I"m on TMs. I guess I can't complain too much I would love for him to read the books, but he isn't a reader, so its out of the question. I would love to be able to talk to him about the books, but i just have to accept the fact that i never will be able to. I guess he feels the same way about his car & computer obsession - i don't get it, never will, and have no desire to! So now we're even

So far so good, I am happy to report. I am now rereading twilight (I know - only my second time), but I was hesitant to pick it up again. He saw me devour all of them the first time and seemed mildly pleased I found something I really liked. I thought I would really get the ribbing for reading it again, but he just asks if I am reading about vampires again. Poor boy, he has no clue. I am in love with the obsession Edward has for Bella and vise, versa. I wonder what he will think when my girlfriend and I go to the midnight release party? And we travel to Anchorage in the winter for the movie. By the way my friends last name is Cullen - lol I love it!!!!

I haven't even told my husband about the books really. He knows I have been involved with the audiobooks ( I haven't read books, just listened), and he got upset about that. He didn't say anything, but his actions spoke for him. I was obsessed, and still am really. I would listen to the books while I cooked, and in bed while he slept. I think there is nothing wrong with it, it just may be jealousy. He isn't getting the attention he is used to having... I don't know. I compared listening to the books as Crack!! My sister was the dealer, and I was hooked. She finally called me and helped me- Crack is Whack!! No, really- don't worry about it. Reading a book is nothing like porn. People will knock what they don't understand- that's were racism/ sexism began. It is easier for my husband to roll his eyes when I mention the book, than to sit and really listen to why this book is so intrigueing. I wouldn't sorry about it. Heck I didn't even know there was a chance to go to Oregon. Hang in there, and keep coming to the forums for a chance to talk about your experiences with the book, that's what they are here for...

I love reading books and I think my husband does not find it weird YET. I read Harry Potter twice too. But I think he suspects my developing obsession . I read the books thrice already since I bought those barely 5 months ago. I'm now resisting picking it up before BD comes out as that will really confirm his suspicion. . But I've already confessed to my membership to this support group.

He handles it well. HE has read the books, plus he is an avid reader himself. So I think he has obsessions with other books, so he understands how I could be obsessed a book.

Also my hubby has never been one to criticize or tease me. He would be too afraid of making me mad or sad.

My husband doesn't get it either. He thinks it's a joke. I constantly hear how they are "kids" books and I need to grow up. He can say what he wants. I'm still in love with these books and the characters. At least my daughter agrees with me, so I have an ally in the house. Now he's been trying to figure out my screen name on TM so he can read my posts and make fun of me.....who needs to grow up now? Oh well. I'll be at the midnight release party for BD and I'll be seeing the movie on the 12th. If he wants a happy home, he'll deal with it.

My husband so doesn't understand, but he tries to play along with me I think he thinks it will keep in my good graces So far its working for him!

Mine thinks it is better than my obsession with "Harry Potter." He just picks on me about it. I told him yesterday that if he didn't tell me the minute that my copy of EW got here because Twilight is on the cover he just made a joke about it. He told me that they decided to take Twilight off the cover because too many crazies were going out to buy it. I told him he was a loser. LOL!

He just don't understand how I can reread a book series so many times. But, he will record Saints NFL football games and go back and watch the game several times to anaylize the game. Same thing, don't you think?

Also, he can't say anything about obsession. He has a whole room in our house dedicated to the Saints. He has pictures of grown men hanging all over the way in there. Not only that, but he has a Fleur De Lis (The Saints symbol) tattooed on his arm. He just has a problem with me being obsessed with HP and Twilight because he says the books aren't real. I put my hand on the book yesterday and told him, "You see, I can touch it (the book). It is real." LOL!

So, to add to my post from yesterday...my husband agreed to go see the movie with me when it comes out. He actually said that it sounds like a good story and he would go!

I about fell out of the car when he said that. Hey, if I can get him to watch "Hairspray" and actually enjoy it, he will watch "Twilight" with no complaints.
