I'm such a wuss

I do this all the time: I'm reading a story, and something emotionally upsetting is about to happen (I know this because I've read the book before, or it's based on a story I already know, or just because the hints have been too obvious), and I just can't keep reading. I put the story aside, go do something else, pick up the story again and read a few more lines, have to put it down again. It can take me hours to read a few pages when I get like this.

Right now I'm rereading a QaF story, A Love That Will Never Grow Old by Bedeviled, and I'm up to the part in which Justin tells Brian that he's seeing someone else. I know that they'll get back together and that it will all work out in the end--I did mention that I'm rereading, right?--but I still can't get through it in one go. I'm here typing this to procrastinate before I dive back into the heartache.

Aggh--what a wuss. (Somebody please tell me I'm not the only one. Please?)
