Why doesnt every gay or straight person love Stevie?
 

Of course I'm sort of Joking there, not everyone has to love Stevie, but I wanted to share a story with y'all. My current boyfriend doesnt get my passion for Stevie, and it has created problems between us. I've definitely made up my mind that once this relationship ends, I WILL NOT enter into one again unless at the very least this person understands my interest in Stevie. Maybe there's one out there somewhere, LoL, until then, it's just me and my girl I guess..... and there's nothing wrong with that at all. :nod:

not very optomistic about this relationship, are ya? :lol:

No, I mean, he's a good person, he really is, but he just doesnt understand how I feel, and thats a problem for me. Some people might say I'm selfish, but I shouldnt have to compromise myself for anyone. Am I nuts?

my bf was quick to realise that my fasination with stevie was a huge part of his life, therefore he made it part of his, and in my opinion, stevie has a style that anyone can appreceate, unless there one of those people who have a passion for NOT liking her, and those, well..i dont get involved with at all, but i mostly keep my stevie fasination between me and stevie, and if people wana join in, great for them

Sadly, you usually have to compromise a bit in relationships. And, if both sides do it, they work much better.
Compromising Stevie? well....depends. do you force him to listen to her? If so, bad.
Do you play it occasionally while he's in the house, while also listening to whatever music he wants? Not so bad...
Do you talk about her constantly? bad - and boring, probably, to your BF.
see, kind of like that....
IN my experience, someone who doesn't love Stevie never will. They might like a song or two okay, but that's about it. So you may have to compromise. But, you're in luck, the chances of a gay man being into Stevie are probably higher than me ever meeting a straight man who likes her. :laugh:

YEs those are good points. I guess I would have to say that maybe I could compromise a little myself too, but at the same time, I just dont feel that he will ever understand how I feel. I try to do and listen to other things once in awhile, but sometimes it's hard to look at yourself objectively.

i rather enjoy the flash in my sweets eyes whenever i mention "lindsey."

I'm very happy for you. Hopefully I'll have the same luck oneday. :thumbsup:

Read my additional edit.

Also, lots of people just don't like how Stevie's voice sounds, so I doubt that she has a style that "anyone" can appreciate.

Yes.

I am really into Stevie's music, but I'm not really into her. That being said, my love of music does not interfere with my relationship. When I decided to go to Vegas (sucking into the hype thinking she was gonna pull out "The Highwayman", etc...), I invited my partner to go and he said yes. If he had said no, I probably would have gone on my own and he most likely would have been okay with it. Relationships are all about compromise. If you're into Stevie more than you're into your relationship, either the relationship is not all that it's cracked up to be, or you're cracked :laugh: .

I would never jeopardize a good relationship for an icon.

It's only music, no sense in ruining an otherwise good relationship because of it. People simply have differing tastes, it's not a big deal.

Yes thats right, but at the same time, the partner shouldnt be jealous of that either, but again, I'm sure I'm probably somewhat at fault for the situation as well.

well I have never met a boyfriend who shares my near obsession with all things stevie, but then over here in europe she is just not as popular as over in the US, maybe I should look for a new one!!! :shocked: :distress:

Oh, that last part there is too funny!!!! :laugh: :laugh:

I guess it all comes down to how much understanding goes on in a relationship. Admittedly boy Derek and myself can be stubborn people, and I'm sure that has something to do with the situation.
