Fifty Shades of My Opinion

So yes, as most women I know I have read Fifty Shades of Grey.  Well at least the first 2 books.  I have to admit I'm in love with the books so far.  It really has me thinking about relationships.  Oh yes, here I go again.

Relationships are one of the most important things in our lives.  Whether it be a relationship with your family, your friends or a partner, they are what get us through our tough times.  But let's focus on the partner relationship for now.

**SPOILER ALERT**

So yes, 50 Shades has lots of hot sex moments.  Lots and lots and lots and...well you get my point.  I have said that I am now ruined for life because of this book and at first I thought it was the sexual part of the book.  I have been thinking "Wow...this is so great.  I'll never have it this hot in my life"  Not that I haven't had great sex before, but my heavens this Ms. James either has a vivid imagination or an AMAZINGLY TALENTED HUSBAND. (Yes I'm using shouty capitals.) But then I realized it's not just that aspect of these books that have "ruined me".

Now that I've had time to think about it, I have come to realize that the most enticing part of these books is the fact that Anastasia "rescued" Christian from his demons by just being herself.  Maybe I'm the only one, but I think that it's utterly romantic that just by falling in love with Ana, Christian has been able to "recover" from his past.  I'm hoping that this part stays true through the last book, because I will be crushed.

I've always wanted to "fix" a broken man.  I don't know why.  Maybe it's just the way my brain is wired.  But when I find a broken man that I'm attracted to, I immediately go into fix it mode.  I'm not talking about changing someone because I don't like they way they are, I'm talking about someone who has been through a tough emotional journey and trying to help them overcome it.  Whether it be a broken heart, a lost loved one or any other of life's garbage, I want to be the person that helps them be a better person.

So I find it so amazing that Ana "fixed" Mr Grey just by being who she is.  How incredibly awesome would that be?  Maybe someday...

Laters baby...Ha!  I had to say it.  <3
