how to deal with partner having celebrity crushes and not taking it personally?

MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE

i just wanna start off with saying i’m not against celebrity crushes! i think it’s totally normal to be attracted to people even when you’re in a relationship. however, i just don’t wanna hear about it, yk?

growing up, i was chubby, had the silliest glasses, and had peach fuzz/body hair all over. i was never someone’s type. therefore, i always have kind of struggled with my self esteem.

i think celebrity crushes are okay. i just struggle when the celebrity crushes are all… similar? like, the guy i was seeing has celebrity crushes and they all have dark hair, tan skin, defined facial structure (think: jenna ortega, ana de armas, megan fox). obviously none of them are brown :/

we went to go see obsession and i had a feeling the girl was just his type. to no one’s surprise.. she was! he followed her on tik tok & ig and reposted like 2 videos with her in it.

i mean, i don’t really care but at the same time, it does bother me. i don’t want to be bothered by it my whole life. it’s kind of a weird and lonely feeling.

how do you guys deal with it?
