Let me just say that this show is amazing. One of the best I have ever seen. But it makes me sad for some reason. I don't know maybe it's because I have never been in a serious relationship and I am 24 years old. Maybe it's the lonely nights I sleep through. Never had anyone devoted to me like Alison was to Noah. I hope I'm not the only one that feels that way.
shareThere are lots of reasons this show could be considered depressing, but using it as a model for a loving relationship is not one of them. Obsessive, controlling, possessive, addictive, avoidant, those are all adjectives to describe the unhealthy relationships we're seeing in The Affair.
Don't even bother with a relationship if it's exhibiting any of those traits, it's not worth it and will cause far more suffering than joy.
The right person is worth the wait. Please take my word for it.
I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream.
Using it as a model for a relationship might indeed be a bad idea but...to me personally, at least parts of this show really grasp the passion and life of people truly loving each other, and while the relationships in the show are flawed in various ways (everything is, to be honest) somehow it really feels like there's some real feeling between those people. That love between Alison and Noah seems so real - I think they act it out really great in The Affair.
And by the way, I was in OP's shoes some years back, and I would totally not recommend watching this show in that state. You will just sulk over the fact that you are alone. If you feel like that, the worst thing you can do is to watch shows about people falling in love.
Not so sure she's devoted to him......
shareAw, sorry to hear that. You still have plenty of time.
shareHmmm try to focus on overall quality of life. Explore your surroundings and travel. Get involved in things that really interest you and focus on it. You will make new friends and things will happen organically, naturally.
Consider this time your freedom and find someone who wants to share it, not just any ole gal to fill what feels like a void.
Wishing you the best of everything.
Let me give you some advice: while there's money there's hope.
I kinda see what you mean, it amazes me on this show how Noah will do anything to be in a relationship with Alison. It seems amazing to me because I've never even met a guy who wants to even just communicate for longer than a few days (lol!) let alone pursue so heavily like Noah does in this show. Like the part where he finds Allison at that mountain resort and literally begs her to be with him. The show doesn't make me sad though, is so much crazy drama lol, I love it.
