My husband doesn't really get neglected, well the first time I read the series he did. Now I just don't shut up about anything Twilight related. Good thing we are now building a house as it does give us something else to talk about, but I still manage to mention Twilight on a daily basis:)

Well, i read the books once and was talking to him but then I realised I wasnt getting feedback, He is begging me to shut up about it and to put the books and movies away. He thinks i'm obsessed with Vampires... I've made the promise to not talk about it with him as he shows no interest, so I listen to his day at work or his tandrum at football. etc.... Give and take hey!!!

My husband just makes fun of me. All he cares about it sports anyway so I don't feel bad about enjoying something.

I think that some of us have better husbands than others lol. If we have nice husbands then we might feel a little guilty and perhaps rightfully so. But if we have insensitive jerks for husbands then that's what they get! lol.

True, It so happens sometimes when you have a routine, (after work ) ligth lounging around on the sofa watching TV once that changes slightly the husband misses that... then he becomes aware of something else has taken some of your attention. My husband is a cuddly bear, he wants me all to himself.. I've just directed some of my attention to Twilight... Ummmmmmmmmmm Is that soooooo bad

I can relate. For me personally, Twilight fills the void within. In my husbands defense- with the tragedy that I cannot seem to heal from, well I know he feels helpless. When I read New Moon, all the passages that describe the emotion of anguish, loss; well the words describe how I am feeling. Last summer, I just tuned out from reality and The Twilight Saga gave me a place for mind to escape to. Despite that my emotions haven't eased in the slightest, I try to give whatever is left of me to him.

My husband doesn't get that I love twilight so much. I don't tell him about it he would think it is weird. He is catholic and I remember trying to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula and the scene when he stabs the cross with his sword. OMG my husband was like how can you watch that. Needless to say I didn't get to finish the movie. Any way he knows I like fantasy type movies and stuff which he doesn't so there you have it.

Wow! I just joined this group and it nice to read this post to know that I'm not the only one out there! I feel like I could have written this post. My husband gave me the books for Christmas and I was immediately obsessed with reading them. He was glad when I finished them so he could "have his wife back". But ever since I finished reading them, I am obsessed with anything Twilight and have to sneak around to get on the website. I think he feels insecure about it or thinks it's weird although I am not sure why. He receives plenty of my time and attention so why can't I do something like this by myself if it makes me happy? What on earth are the husbands worried about?

I like, this I am the same with sneaking around anything Twilight, Husbands, Loves being the only thing the wives obsessed about. so when we go all wild on fantasy, insecurity arise in the men.. It is funny because we are not asking them to be this fantasy, it is just a surreal part of our lives.
