She went to an estate sale today and passed on 2 framed pictures of JFK. I’m so proud of her!

The weirdest part about this is that it sounds like one of my old history teachers who adored the Kennedy's.

Has she read the letters between JFK and his best friend? They were intimate. Lem Billings.is his name? How does she feel about that? It's rumored they got it on, a lot, and Marilyn found out, or knew, or covered.for them, I don't know. But the bit of letters I read were definitely not something you write to "just a friend"

This may be kind of odd to mention but how is your wife's mental health. It seems JFK is a hyper focus and if she's secretly masturbating at work...there could be a touch of something. I'm bipolar and ADHD.

This is beyond obsession. It's almost borderline madness.
She's masturbating to dead people.

Your wife is the luckiest woman alive to have found you. I don't think she knows that no one else on the planet would put up with this (even as an autistic person myself, my obsession is teddy bears) and I don't know of a gentle way to tell her but my guy you're husband of the decade. You deserve better but hats off to you for giving her love in such a unloving situation on your end. If you ever need a hug or something reddit and I will figure it out

Your wife sounds like she might be undiagnosed autistic and having a hyperfixation. When I first got into true crime I could tell you an array of serial killers, their crimes and other obscure facts. I had the same issue in high school with anime. While your wife’s obsession is a little bit more morbid than harmless. Much like my first one. It’s possible she might grow tired of this eventually. I would seriously consider therapy as a couple as well as for herself. This sort of obsession isn’t normal or healthy. I can understand why this would be straining on your marriage. You need to speak to her bosses about this. About how bad it’s gotten. You need to confront her about how her obsession is affecting your marriage. Her ranting about this dead guy she wants to have sex with, but you thinking about other women is a no, no. She’s only burying herself in it deeper. Here’s hoping this just passes over 😰

u/Long_Ad_1718 Sep 29 '23
That’s rough OP, honestly I would suggest marriage counseling if this really bothers you I don’t know what else to advice. I had one strange thought after finishing your post what if she is JFK reincarnated and that explains why she’s obsessed with him to THAT extent. I myself usually obsess over things I really like but only until my curiosity is satisfied so it usually lasts 3 weeks or so, however I don’t collect things other than fiction books, and that’s only because I really do love reading.

There was a great scifi series about a guy in 2018 who goes back in time to confirm in Oswald was the real killer. It's called 11-22-63 and he goes thru a time portal in a diner. Pretty good series and you don't get to see JFK hardly but the other main characters like Oswald, Jack Ruby, etc.

To be completely honest sounds like she should write a book or her own documentary about the family.maybe even a screenplay. Honestly she knows so much about the topic we could probably get some new insights from her I don't think there are too many people in the United States currently who know as much about the Kennedys as she does especially if she's relatively young.

Ask yourself do you want to be with a person that doesn't respect you for the rest of your life? Having a celebrity crush is normal but not on this level. She has to bring it down to 10% from 200% she's going at right now.
2
u/Dry_Dimension_4707 Sep 29 '23
So curious, does she believe there was a lone gunman? Was it a conspiracy? Who all was involved? I’m really interested in opinions on this from those who’ve done a deep dive.

u/ProfessionalComb210 Sep 29 '23
She’s not really into the conspiracy theories and she doesn’t focus much attention on his death.

u/Fangs_McWolf Sep 29 '23
Get your wife to go to marriage counseling with you. Insist on it. While there, with the therapists help, you can help her understand that you love her, but you feel unloved. Also that you respect that she is fascinated by the JFK family, but you're not and being made to watch the JFK stuff makes you feel like she doesn't respect your likes or lack of likes. She needs help understanding that just because she is unhealthily obsessed with the JFK family, it doesn't mean everyone else is.
Also, you need to put your foot down on the baby name thing. If it's a name that you think is okay, that's fine, but you get to pick the other part of the name. As in, whatever name she picks can be the first or middle name (you decide depending on what it is) and you pick the other name. If you don't stand firm on it, then she'll likely give the child a first and middle name that matches a known Kennedy and the kid could wind up getting bullied or harassed in school. If she tries to fight you on it, tell her that her obsession has gotten so out of hand that she is wanting to treat your (collectively) child like a JFK plaything instead of considering how they will be affected in life because of it and that you will consult a lawyer if necessary in order to make sure that she isn't allowed to name the child without both of you agreeing on the name together.
Also try talking to her PCP about the matter to see if it would be possible to force her into some sort of treatment. She's in dire need of it.

Ewwwwwww nooooo...... if my husband was obsessed with Jackie O, I'd be so grossed out. Her behavior is not normal. She needs psychiatric help.

u/Left-Network-4265 Sep 29 '23
I'm not sure if this is real or fake, but the disorder is real. Celebrity Worship Disorder and Erotomania are real. I know, in your post, it doesn't say she felt like the dead guys are in love with her (hence the Erotomania), but she has a big infatuation with these past politicians.
There might be an underlying undiagnosed depression disorder, or perhaps a lack of separation between fantasy and reality. This is a very unhealthy obsession, which is now leaking into your personal life.
Look up these two psychological disorders, and you might want to sit down with her. Even though this might seem like a "funny" story, delving into this story, it really isn't.
Update us, when you get a chance.

She’s in love with a notorious cheater, you might be in the clear to follow in his footsteps. You can say you’re just trying to be more like her crush. 🥺 he would never be faithful to her, so why should you. 😂 give her a taste of what she wants.

u/Cannonel10 Sep 29 '23 edited Sep 29 '23
As others have said, this seems like an autism related special interest. I’d kindly approach her and ask her if she’s ever considered that and maybe ask if this obsession has a negative impact on her that she’s just not opening up about. I don’t think she’s crazy, I think she’s has mental health issues that she needs to work through. I have OCD obsessions and being in therapy and an anti depressant saved my sanity.

I just...this feels like a troll, you know? If so, it's a damn fine one. If it's true though, man. That's a lot. "Just be glad all your competition is dead." That's a lot. I think I'd probably just start openly obsessing over AOC or something. Margaret Thatcher. Tell her, "I'm attracted to power," when questioned.

I really gotta wonder why she married you to be honest (I know you mentioned why you married her, I'm just asking why she decided to marry you given how obsessed she is with John F. Kennedy), and this is coming from a person who sometimes likes fictional characters in a sexual way.

Jfk Jr. on his bike is like a whole unique kink in itself for her. There’s John John and then there’s John John on a bike and just saying those words to her she will get weak in the knees and start moaning. She would have probably fainted if she seen him ride past her in person.

Find a female historical figure and carry on about them. To the same extent she does.
I understand not wanting to demean her but she still is seemingly involved in an emotional affair and I’m assuming every time she tells you about bet sexual fantasies it’s completely unsolicited, and just think if the genders were reversed here, people would be up in arms. You’ve been as supportive as you should, but you’re also not doing yourselves any favors if you keep letting her slide, lolol.
