Does anyone else overanalyse their life like Bridget Jones?

I am just watching The Edge of Reason. I am wondering if anyone else has to ask all their friends their advice before they make any decisions. I find that there are times in a relationship when I'm not sure what to think of my partners behaviour and ask for advice, but surely in a really good relationship you should discuss this with your partner not your friends.

Assuming that everyone has friends that is. I don't talk to anyone about my husband. At times I might complain about him if I'm PMSing, but really I have nothing worth complaining about. Sure he leaves the seat up and forgets to pick up the dirty diapers after a change and they end up under the couch and the next day you're wondering what the heck that stink in the room is, but that's about it. Yes if there's an issue we just sit down and talk. Doesn't mean it gets resolved but we can talk about it. Bad news, I have no friends, good news I have a great husband. Besides after 14 years of marriage he's learned a lot. hehe

I love Bridget Jones - but I hope I am not like her! Of course I discuss things with my girlfriends - they are very important to me, - but I don't see the point of having a relationship, if you can't sit down and takl honestly to your parter, so I would always talk to him first - even if it was him that was annoying me!

I over analyze some aspects of my life in my diary. It's easy for me to sit at my computer and type away. Venting everything, thinking about solutions.

While I have never seen the movie, I do tend to ask everyone's advice before doing something of importance. The first person I always ask is my huband, then my mom (Mom's know best lol) Now, I may not always go with my husband, but out of respect, I ask him first.

Haha, I am juuuust like Bridget. I mean, when I read the books and saw the movies, it was like totally me all over. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but I know that over-analyzing a lot of things can have some pretty bad outcomes, as is obvious with Bridget's life. Anyway, I'd love to gain inner poise like Bridget tries, and maybe I/we will! :)

Hello michelledarcy, nice to meet you. Yes, I sometimes compare myself to Bridget, her struggle with weight loss and her feelings fro her beloved. I believe you are right. It is not always good to go for friends asking them about relationship issues that you might be facing. Of course, they are young and immature like you. They might give you an advice irrelevant to the total scenario. It s always better to ask an older experienced person for help and advice. Since Bridget could not get really meaningful advice from her parents she turned to her friends. The best answer is to discuss it with the partner themselves.
