Married with kids and Maan obsessed

Hi fellow Maaniacs,
I just had to open this topic after the "my husband found out" topic. I am a married lady with kids and somehow have become an obsessed Maan fan. Don't get me wrong, I love the MaanEet pair and have no fantasies of "i wish i was Geet with Maan" - honest to God. I seem to have slipped into the phase where I am lost in thinking of Maan all the time. I never even want to meet GC but keep thinking about Maan all the time and I mean ALL THE TIME.

I stick to my computer like it was a body part. I do the neccessary chores at home but even then I am only thinking about Maan with a silly grin on my face and only wanting to hurriedly get back to my laptop so I can see Maan again. I hear all of Maan music in my head - be it his entry music, his Maahiii music and all the other music and vm's i have seen anywhere of Maan. I think about his expressions at any and every time and I am worried that I am becoming obsessed with Maan like I have never been with anyone before.

I even felt ashamed that I should not be obsessing about a character - a Fictional one at that so much but it seems to be beyond my control. I try to watch other programs but it is always in the back of my mind to get back to watching Maan.

My husband is a good guy and I worry about hurting him. He knows that I am watching the episodes on the computer, staying up late and my behaviour may have changed. I am worried that it might affect my personal relationship with my hubby and was actually in tears thinking what is happening. Don't get me wrong - I never even think that I wished my hubby was like Maan because he(my hubby is great as he is).

I even thought of never visiting IF and FB again but that leaves me feeling desolate. I wanted to find out if anyone else felt like this at all.

I have laid it out in the open because I want some help. I know, I know - that this is an Entertainment forum and not a Psychiatrist's couch but only someone who has either passed through what I am going through can help.

Penning this down makes me feel ilke a besotted teenager rather than a mature adult as it is, so
please leave your comments if you can help, if not please do not be crude and make fun as I am already going through a harrowing time and don't need any more barbs.

rest assured that you are not the only one. I consider myself a sane and grounded woman with a wonderful family and a really hectic corporate life. Maan has however been my pet peeve too for the last few weeks.

Was very embarrassed to by this urge in me to check out on Geet VMs and read Fan Fics....in the middle of my 24x7 job schedule.

Spoke about this to my husband and here's the reasoning we worked out together....may help you...

Maan represents everything that a woman fantasizes about in a man...he has this aura about him - deep dark mysterious - and yet he is kind and principled....a decent bloke that we can hardly ever hope to come across in our day to day lives....and hence the attraction...

I meet such jerks in my work life everyday that the half hour of Mann-fix is like manna from heaven...a feeling that all can be well with the world...

The relationship I see here keeps me from feeling jaded, tired and cynical...and hence the pull....

My husband and I have been married 14 years and are in a really strong and loving relationship and yet I used the Friday sequence to share with him the anger and disappointment I had felt in our relationship in the first 2 years....the feeling that he did not 'protect' me or 'stand up for me' when people were mean to me for no reason.

I am using Maan to reignite my own relationship and make it more beautiful...so there...all the Mann watching can come in very handy too....

And btw...as you said...it is all about the character and has nothing to do with the actor essaying the role....

If you read my post PETITION AGAINST GURMEET, and King of TELEVISION INDUSTRY, You will know about the similar feelings. I don't know how much Guru's acting has affected my people. There are many debutant writers like me who want to get out of the feeling as you said as I am also married. Whatever you said, every word is true. Even, for the first time in my life, I am also doing the same thing as you are.
It is not only the character of the serial, but also I appreciate Gurmeet's brilliant acting which has drawn millions of fans towards him. Even when I was a teenager, I haven't been so crazy for an actor.
As we see in his interviews, he is down to earth person. May be because, we have seen him as humble, funny and jovial, it is very difficult to digest that he has acted as Maan.
But writing in this forum has helped me bit to come out of the trance.

Don't worry girl!..Like with any infatuation ...This will go away with time!
But this Maan character is really spoiling us girls...we start to expect "Maan" traits from the REAL men in our lives! lol.. 😆

Oh dear....I can understand wat storms of feeling u r undergoin....bt this is also wid me........and u r crazy for MAAN only...bt SINCE RAMAYAN ....i m restless abt GURMEET and wen i first saw him n GEET....I was like "nw finally again i have the reason to live happily".😊😊..

hey is that u minni bhabhi...cos meri babhi bilkul aisi hi baaten karti hai....anyways if it is not u then no worries...meri shadi nahin hui hai par meri babhi maaniac hai to i can understand ur haalat...so sweet of u to share this .. and beleive me she was so attached to sujal once upon a time.. i think this is a phase and as soon as the cv's goof up with the story life will be normal again....though i don't want that to happen but eventually it will and then u'll be free..

Oh dear thank god i'm a normal 18yr old single college girl!...i do feel goosebumps had i been committed wat wud my bf do?😆

dear realy it is not just u even me am thinking about maan 24h on 7 days even on sunday and saterday am every time thing about him thanks god am not marrid i think it buz his acting it make us goo outsaid the world sooo dear its ok and realy am not scene any show only geet buz maan and if or they ded like take out of maan from the show i will not scene geet anymore
