The Woman Who Married the Berlin Wall

If it makes her happy and doesnt affect me, I see no problem with it.

How sad. This women must have such a hard time dealing with people so she turns to inanimate objects.

..and of course cats.

I was just wondering about that, too, bean! Man alive.

This really caught my eye, though, because I’m listening to one of my youtube playlists and just got Scorpion’s ‘Wind of Change’- stopped what I was doing, read heaps of comments (had to pause the autoplay) and totally immersed myself in Berlin Wall history, the politics behind the fall and all that… and 5 min later, find this on my reader. Fantastic!

I’m not sure even how to put this into perspective in my mind… I like my house, but I can’t imagine being in love with it. Similarly, when an object fails, I can’t curse the object, only its design or use. But, like I always say, live and let live.

I think it’s cute.

She was on a Swedish TV show a couple of years ago as well, where she sort of admitted that she had “consummated” the relationship.

How do they, you know, “get it on?”

It’s one sided for you and me and most people, but what’s to say that it has to be one sided for her? It’s quite possible that she gets, for whatever reason (possibly mental), quite a vivid exchange with the wall.

I only way I could see a relationship with the Berlin Wall working for her would be if…

…she’s a brick … house … mighty, mighty, … lettin’ it all hang out …

Wow. And Alex (and many commentors) had the nerve to suggest that the lady with the voices was crazy.

Oooook…. > _ >

I highly doubt this is sad for her. She “believes that objects have souls, feelings, desires and thoughts they share with her telepathically.” They’re basically life forms, from her perspective, they just can’t… do things.
Whatever makes her happy. More power to her. This is fascinating.

@ otterly
I would rather haven fallen for The Queen Is Dead, to be honest with you

It’s obvious: Loving walls or other unhuman objects should be illegal! Just like growing marijuana and making tea out of it is illegal!

I struggle to contemplate how you can feel love toward an inanimate object, but maybe I just have commitment issues.

I’m curious if she interacts normally with other human beings. Is the love for things is in addition to regular human relationships or instead of them? If she sees her family, has friends, etc, but also loves a wall and some guillotines, more power to her. Hey, we’ve all got quirks.
But I suspect she’s got issues with other people. Trust issues and the like. And I could see that her love for something that is a barrier, a divider, might be a bit symbolic of boundary issues. I’d be willing to bet she was abused. But, like Freud said, “Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar.”. Might benefit from therapy,though.

Also, I wonder if it’s just some objects that are ultra significant, but all objects are significant, or just that handful of objects that matters. Is it just the wall and the guillotines that she’s in telepathic communication with, or is it everything? In a way, that would be sort of zen and a little bit cool, a union with all the matter in the universe type thing, but would seriously make life difficult for her.

Schizo?

i’m curious to know what her religious following is, because some hindu religions value all objects as if they had a soul. it’s actually very complicated to live with this belief because your main goal would be not to cause harm to anything with a soul, which includes food and the ground they stand on. but i’m also not ruling out mental illness in this case, because to find a wall sexually attractive and worthy of marrying is a bit odd.
