I'm an addict

Boyfriend and I were hooked on The Wire earlier this year and it almost caused us to break up. We were so engrossed in this particular show and made it our no.1 priority. When we had a minute available we watched it and we made sure we had a lot of minutes available and we subsequently forgot the fact that sometimes you have to make time for one another. Spending 60 minutes together watching The Wire doesn't mean that you've used those 60 minutes to be together and appreciate each other.

Some people get hooked on drugs or alcohol and everyone knows what they can do to a relationship. Boyfriend and I got hooked on The Wire. We finally realised how much it had ruled our lives [in a bad way] and we had to ration the amount of episodes from daily to weekly. We now have a much better relationship and we still have season 5 (the final) to watch and I'm not looking forward to it as much as I should, I'm not worried about breaking up with Boyfriend, but I don't want to say good bye to some of the character I know will die and those who don't die will be gone anyway as it's the final season.

I know I've got to bite the bullet at some point but the longer I stay away from it the longer I will keep x and x ... alive. As if I could change things anyway...
