I realized I probably have the weirdest way to check in with myself when it comes to my relationships.

Whenever my brain needs to reassess if the relationship is still working out, it goes "Well, would I break up if [insert the celebrity I am obsessed with at the moment] would come along and show interest?

If yes, well. If I would leave bc a stranger that I only know through interviews comes along, this doesn't work out I guess.

If no, holy shit, you compete against [celebrity] and win in my in head scenarios, you must be special and do a lot of things right, I guess I can consider myself pretty lucky.

Am I the only one doing this? Is this weird? Am I completely messed up? Please tell me!!
